23 May 2026: Holy Shrine Blessings (Vatari Cult)
Three blessings per shrine · 1,000 RP each · 7-day cooldown per shrine · Vatari-only
The Hallowed answer
- Holy Shrines now do something. Click a Holy Shrine in the system view and choose Blessings. Three blessings are available; each one costs 1,000 RP and locks that shrine for seven days. Build more shrines, get more blessings.
- Litany of Mending. The Hallowed sing the long prayer over your wrights and menials for a day and a night. At each of four bells (six hours apart over a 24-hour window) the litany crescendos and every hull in the system is mended a little further (+1 HP per bell, up to its maximum). The work the engineers do under the chant stays done.
- Dig Deeper. The slaves dig deeper, and find new veins. Some prayers are heard more clearly than others: a random 10,000 to 60,000 RP is added to that system’s reservoir for your refineries to mine out. Permanent. What is uncovered is yours. Pour it into your richest mining system or breathe new life into one that’s nearly tapped.
- Crusader’s Anointing. Every friendly ship in the system gains +2 veteran ranks (capped at rank 5). Crews remember the blessing in every fight thereafter. Permanent: bringing two systems’ worth of ships up to full rank can take weeks of combat XP. A blessing does it in one click.
- News and treasury. Every blessing is announced in your empire’s news feed and deducted from your RP balance. Cooldown shows inside the modal so you always know which shrines are ready and which are still recovering.
