22.9 Devoting certain deeds to a divinity.

The relationship between mortal and deity, particularly that of patron and follower, is one of the Avalon fundamentals. A mortal may wish to devote his or her action to a deity, to add to that deity's prestige and might within the land by dint of this association. It is a popular way for a mortal follower to bolster the essence, and therefore the Olympian power, of his or her patron divinity.

To declare a devotion type DEVOTE followed by the name of the deity you wish to devote the subsequent command/action to. Bear in mind that the devotion will only apply to the very next command.

Devotions presently acceptable to the Gods: bathing the bodies of dead mortals.
