Praying & Altar Locations
Lands of Arda uses a praying system to change your character's alignment.
Throughout Arda you will find temples or altars devoted to the Powers of Arda. If you so choose, you may pray to these beings, and occasionally you may even be answered.
When a prayer is answered, this will take the form of a full heal, a gift of experience and a Prayer effect to yourself and nearby friendly creatures. Your alignment may also shift a small amount, based on the alignment and power level of the altar. Be careful when praying in a party, as your alignment shift will also affect other party members slightly. There is a limit to how frequently one's prayers may be heard from a specific altar: once per game calendar day.
Clerics and Druids have the best chances to be heard, particularly above level 20. Paladins, Blackguards, and Divine Champions (Champions of Torm) also have improved chances. If neither your Law/Chaos or your Good/Evil alignment matches that of the altar, you will never be heard.
