It's like this. Lets say that King Larrien of Dustari wants to worship the fallen Viking Spirit of Erik Heimdal. Then he would go to the altar and drop like food, stones, minerals, weapons, anything. He'd pray 25 times... and he would say something like Erik Heimdal is great. I would have a log on that and everyday I would read through it and I could give blessings and such to those loyal ones.
Like, there could be alot of differnt blessings and there would be a set guide-line for the prayers and blessings. But the players-dieties can be more interactive and such. Like lets say Dustari's patron diety is Erik Heimdal. Then my favor would be in their seats. It means that I would be able to grant Dustari more favors than a kingdom that doesn't worship Erik.
It wouldn't be corrupted, as the dieties would have to be trusted people who could never go corrupt. And there is always the Mutal Blessings... But like the dieties would fight and such, leading nations into war... and bringing destruction and glory.
You say "But Zurkiba NPCs can do that", Now picture this... The Voodoo cult on the Pirate Island is trying to contact the spirit of their lord Girum. Then Girum can be summoned there and help the pirates out.
The dieties would have a set level and they cant level up or anything... Like lets say there is the player-diety that is for peace... that person would have a level of like five. But the other player-diety is a sword-bearer... that person would be like level 8.
Wouldn't it be cool though? Like Zormite is going to war soon, so they call apon their great diety, Blahblahentersomerandomnamehere. Their diety is a warmonger, so the level is around nine. They can ask the diety to help them in the war if they were faithful enough and if they prayed enough and everything.
It would be the ultimate RPing experience and it would be rather fun. You could worship Aftershock and he could be summoned to help govern the state for a little bit.
And yet again, a guideline would be set so noone could be corrupt. Like in order for a diety to help you, then you need like 20 hours of worship. But lets say you just want A Handaxe of Erik... then you would need like 5 hours of worship. Or something like that.
