Changes

'''Followers''' are individuals who have accepted [[religion]] into their Wurm life and have chosen to align themselves with one of the many four [[god]]s. In doing so they have accepted some minimal restrictions in return for their gods blessing. The blessing is specific to each god and may be received after achieving 20 [[faith]] skill points which are gained is obtained through [[praying|prayer]]. The benefits are passive so no special actions or items are required for them to be active. Becoming a follower is also the first step to [[priest]]hood.

Once a follower has reached 30 faith they may then choose to become a [[priest]]. The process to become a priest follows closely to that of becoming a follower, only with more prerequisites and comes with many more restrictions.

===Converting==={{main|To become a follower, a player may seek out a religious adviser (starter towns) or a priest or follower of the desired religion and seek conversion. '''To become a follower the player needs at least 1.5 in their overall [[body]] characteristic.''' To follow [[Fo]], at least +1.0 [[alignment]] is required and -1.0 is needed to follow [[Libila]]. Other gods do not require any specific alignment. The player will type '''/invitations''' to enable the existing follower to convert them.

The player may also make the risky pilgrimage to the [[Altar of Three]] for [[white light]] or the [[Bone Altar]] for [[black light]] deities. These special altars exist on the PvP servers of [[Chaos]] (Freedom) or [[Elevation]] (Epic). The alignment requirement is not needed when using the [[Altar of Three]] or [[Bone Altar]] on [[Chaos]] or [[Elevation]].
