Gods work similarly to other roguelike games, each giving themed bonuses and penalties.

No class begins with a religion, and must instead find an altar. Each dungeon has three altars, each assigned to a random unique god. Stepping on the altar will display a brief flavor text description, and the option to begin worship if you have not selected one yet. Please note that due to the recent changes to how gods work, this page is very much a WIP.

Summary

Once you find an altar, you may pray at it to learn the different abilities the god offers, and may choose either to worship that god or leave the altar and continue exploring. Once you follow a god, you cannot leave them unless another altar offers the chance to convert from that god.

While following a god, certain actions may change your piety with a god, according to the behaviours they prefer. For example, Taurog, being a magic-hating god of battle, awards piety for killing enemies (and more for killing magic users), but causes you to lose piety if you use a glyph. If you would otherwise lose piety when at 0 piety, very bad things happen. On the other hand, you may pray at your god's altar to spend piety on boons, which vary between gods but are all almost universally good. Additionally, if you find an altar to a co-aligned deity, you may spend piety there to convert to that god, keeping the existing bonuses and penalties exacted upon you by your god. Choosing (or not choosing) a specific deity in a given game can be the choice that means survival over defeat a lot of the time.
