A Devotional is a shrine to one of the 8 [[Virtues]] and to 1 or more of the 3 [[Principles]]. There are 11 different devotionals. Each devotional will apply a unique [[Blessings#Devotional_Blessings|Devotional Blessing]] buff when the avatar jumps into the devotional's pool (the buff lasts 5 days; only 2 Devotional Blessings can be active at the same time).

Each of the 11 [[Patron City|Patron Cities]] contains a different one of the devotionals and espouses the Virtue and Priciples of that devotional. [[Player Owned Town]]s can contain more than one of these devotionals.

Also, each devotional is associated with a specific [[Constellations|constellation]].

When a town contains 1 or more devotionals, the town will periodically come under siege by the [[Obsidian Cabalists]].
For details on sieges, see [[Town Sieges]].

==Devotionals in Patron Cities==
Each of the [[Patron City|Patron Cities]] listed below has only one Devotional.

In a Patron City, the power of the blessing is constant (and equivalent to the highest power achievable in a Player Owned Town).

==Devotionals in Player Owned Towns==
For a Player Owned Town (POT), the power of the blessing depends on how many lots have been claimed by players in that town (more lots claimed gives a greater power to the buff, with a maximum power achieved at the highest tier). The tiers are as follows:

:* 9 or less claimed lots - low power tier
:* 10-19 claimed lots - moderate power tier
:* 20 or more claimed lots - high power tier (provides the same power as the buff from a [[Patron City]] devotional).

=Trivia=
*The first iteration of Town Blessings was in [[Release 39]]. Owners of Player Towns will have the ability to place 11 different [[Devotionals]] to the 8 Virtues and 3 Principles in their towns. These devotionals also began appearing in NPC towns in [[Release 40]].
*''Each Devotional offers a different blessing and the power of the blessing is based on how many people live in the town. To receive a blessing you merely need to stand in a Devotional that has been placed in a POT (or NPC town). Players can have 2 devotional blessings active at any time. If you visit a Devotional when you already have 2 Devotional blessings active, one of you previous blessings will be overwrittten. These Devotionals also attract the attention of the Cabalists and there is a chance that your town will come under siege if you have them placed''<ref>[https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=68992 Introducing Town Blessings]</ref>
