Racial starting deity for: Breton / Imperial / Khajiit / Nord Divine favor is slow to build, but the Divines are merciful and their faithful are unlikely to fall out of favor, unless they overtly commit crimes or ignore their religious duties for a long period of time. The Divines welcome any who would worship them into the fold, no matter their race or previous deities. Rare lost artifacts of holy or unholy power exist that will improve your relationship with your deity. (If you decline, you can still become a follower of the Daedric Prince by visiting their shrine.) Should you decline the Temptation, the Daedric Prince will not ask again, so choose wisely. In particular, when you interact with a Daedric Prince during a quest or read about their deeds of might and glory, the Daedric Prince may offer you to immediately become their follower, regardless of your race or other requirements. This represents the religion your character followed before they arrived in Skyrim.Īlthough visiting their shrine is the most common way to become a follower of a deity, there are other ways. Worship is equivalent to prayer, but raises favor by a larger amount.Īt the start of your playthrough (after the intro sequence or when you reach level 2, same as Survival Mode), a dialog box appears, allowing you to choose a deity based on your race. You can also worship at the shrine of your deity. Some deities may restrict prayer to specific times or locations. While you can pray as often as you wish, praying at least once a day is sufficient to raise your favor as fast as possible there is no additional benefit to repeatedly praying in quick succession or praying for long amounts of time. Use the Praypower to kneel and enter a meditative state, raising your favor and displaying your current favor. You can only worship one deity at a time. If favor drops to 0%, the deity will abandon you. Ignoring your religious duties or violating their taboos will cause your favor with the deity to gradually diminish. Upon reaching 100%, you become a Devoteeand receive a second gift that is a dramatic manifestation of the deity's power on Tamriel. Some deities can only be worshipped by certain races or after completing a quest.Īdhering to the tenets, praying, and worshipping at their shrine will raise your favor with your deity.

Followers receive a subtle gift, the Praypower, and a list of religious tenets. Whenever you use a shrine, a dialog box appears, allowing you tobecome a Followerof that deity.
