Divine Orders
A Divine Order, often just called an Order, is an organization of people who formally worship one and only one God. Membership in an Order is considered very important for many Achaeans, and interacting with your God or Goddess can be one of the most rewarding activities you'll find.

Orders are run in different ways, by different Gods. For instance, Aegis, the God of War's Order is famously militant and hierarchical in construction, while those who worship Valnurana, the Goddess of Dreams, are likely to have a far more relaxed Order experience.

Each Order has ten levels to it, and promotions and demotions are dependent entirely on the will of the God or Goddess, who is the head of the Order.

Order Powers
As you progress in rank in your Order, you will gain the ability to use various powers.
Many of the Order powers are related to shrines, and require you to be at a shrine to your God, which you and your fellow Order members will establish and maintain.
Most of the shrine-related order powers have a range dependent on the size of the shrine you beseech at. If it is a dormant shrine, you won't be beseech at it. The ranges are:
Dormant: None.
Small : Same room only.
Medium: One room radius.
Large: Two room radius.
**Note that Worldburn is an exception, as it affects the influenced area of all of your Order's shrines, everywhere.
Please remember that using these shrine-related powers will cost your beloved Diety essence each time you use them.
