Pilgrimage to shrines, and pray to the divines to receive their advice, blessings, and curses 
Inspired by the Divination mechanic in Dwarf Fortress

This mod lets you use wilderness shrines as places to pray to the Divines and attempt to ask for their guidance and their help. It's heavily based on the divination mechanics introduced in Dwarf Fortress 0.47 (
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Die , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFn0KbAHAnk )

How does it work?

When the PG0 quest is started, you will receive a talisman. Activating this talisman at a wilderness shrine (the darker blue temples on your travel map) will let you pray for the divines, and your prayers will be answered by the region's patron deity. While most of the time they will only give you some words of advice, there is a small chance that some more interesting effect will happen. I don't wanna spoil all possible effects, but some of them are:

  • Getting a random weapon, armor, potion, or magic item
  • Getting a temporary summonable companion for a week
  • Being teleported to a random dungeon
  • Being assigned a quest

You can only do one of these pilgrimages once a week, and trying to do it again too early might end up with regrettable consequences.

Update 1.1:

added a chance to encounter other pilgrims when visiting a shrine, to make it seem like you're not the only one who visits these places

1.1.1:

Fixed a couple typos in the text and a bug that was preventing the summonable companion effects from initializing correctly. Every kink is ironed out now.

1.2:

Quite a big update with a ton of new stuff

  • The divines can now assing you two new tasks:

Test of faith: To test your faith, the divines might now send you on a pilgrimage to three different temples in the region with a time limit. Doing so will grant you a small reputation bonus with every divine, failing to do it will carry a small reputation pentalty with every divine.

Preaching: A specific divine might send you to preach their word at a specific city. When you get this task, you'll be given a random religious item. To start preaching, you have to activate this item while you're at the requested city and during daytime. If you preach at the requested town within the time limit requested, you'll get a mdoerate reputation boost with the divine that sent you, otherwise you'll get a reputation penalty. Preaching will start gathering a small crowd arond you. (Note that if you use VIO the crowd that gathers to hear you preach will get attacked by the city guards. There's no way around it, just ignore it)

  • Other pilgrims you find at shrines might now assign you quests
  • There will now be an npc at shrines who will let you do a 500 gold offering to a specific divine for a small reputation boost
  • Daedra slaying: Help the divines rid this world of daedra. At higher levels, this mod will soemtimes spawn daedra in the willderness. Killing these daedra and bringin their hearts to a shrine as an offering will grant you a big reputation boost with a random divine. (Sadly, this doesn't work with any daedra heart, only the ones you get from the daedra spawned by this mod. This is a limtiation of working with the quest system)
EDIT: Fixed a mistake that prevented the test of faith quest from being properly completed and I didn't catch until a few hours after uploading it

1.2.2:

Finally found out what the problem was with the daedra encounters. Turns out the problem wasn't the timer, it was that I had accidentally deleted a condition that prevented the same quest from triggering the encoutner mroe than once, causing the encoutner to get triggered every time you exited a site. 

Installation:

Unzip the file inside StreamingAssets/Questpacks. If you're starting a new game, that's all you need to do. If you're using it on an existing game, you'll have to manually initialize the quest PG0 through the console. You might have to move the quests to StreamingAssets/Quests to be able to initialize them through the console if you're using a non-Windows computer.

To uninstall, simply delete the Questpack.
