Devotionals
File:Devotionals-All.jpg Devotionals are eleven shrine like pools located in Patron Cities on the Novia continent. Each one is dedicated to a Principle or Virtue. Jumping into the pool like area of a devotional will place a 5 Day Blessing upon the player. Only two of these blessings from Devotionals can be active at one time. A decoration version of these can also be placed in a Player Owned Town.
NPC Town Devotionals
Each Devotional in a patron city is tied directly to a constelattion of the matching principle or virtue. Town Sieges of patron cities happen according to the location of Cabalist Moon orbiting bodies entering a specific constellations house in the sky.

*The strength of Player-owned town Devotionals depend on the number of claimed lots; with fewer than 10 claimed lots, they provide the Low value; with 10-19 lots claimed, they provide the Moderate value, and with 20 or more they provide the High value.
Each Devotional is a placeable player owned town decoration item. Devotionals are considered as NPC Buildings so are therefore limited by the number of NPC buildings your town can support. Those NPC Building limits per town size are:
| POT size | Limit |
|---|---|
| Holdfast | 2 |
| Hamlet | 4 |
| Village | 6 |
| Crossroads Village | 8 |
| Town | 10 |
| City | 12 |
| Metropolis | 20 |
| Municipality | 28 |
| Megalopolis | 35 |
| Gigapolis | 42 |
| Teralopolis | 55 |
Town Sieges of Player Owned Towns
- POT sieges work a little different: There was a problem where a POT was likely under siege if you placed all devotional types. The solution was to choose a "dominant devotional" on a periodic basis. If your town has the dominant devotional, it should be under siege. There is no user facing way to tell which is considered the dominant devotional, however, it cycles quickly through the day.[1]
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 near a Devotional that has been placed in a POT (or NPC town). Players can only have one blessing active at any time so visiting a Devotional while another blessing is active will overwrite the current blessing. 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[2]
