In the beginning there were four [[gods]]; the three [[White_light|white light]] gods [[Fo]], [[Vynora]], and [[Magranon]] and the [[Black Light|black light]] god [[Libila]]. In more recent times, some Wurmians had succeeded in their efforts to ascend to godhood and for a brief time, Wurmians turned from the old gods to worship new ones. Thankfully, now the player gods have been proven false and religiously minded Wurmians have returned to worship the four original gods.
Following a religion gives many bonuses to a player, the greatest of which is the ability to become a [[priest]] or [[Champion_player|champion]].
*'''[[Follower]]s''' receive bonuses to some of their skills when of appropriate faith and favor. 20 for faith and 10 for favor.

==Domains==
[[File:Wooden altar.png|200px|thumb|right|A wooden altar|link=Wooden altar]]The domain of a god provides bonuses to all their followers, and priests, and champions. An [[altar]] provides a portal from which a god may funnel their domain into the lands of Wurm and also a place where followers may [[pray]] or [[sacrifice]] in respect to their deity.
Whilst in the domain of your deity any follower, or priest or champion will receive a small bonus to some of their skills, such as [[fighting]] skill: these bonuses vary between gods. The strength of the bonus is affected by many variables such as the follower's faith and alignment, the distance from the altar and its quality.
The distance of influence for a domain depends entirely on the quality and [[altar|type of altars]] nearby. The highest quality, and therefore most influential, will control the domain in the area.
