> I was thinking of starting up an empowered character but I have seen many new immortal faces of late, I don't know how it is possible to keep up with all their shrine locations. I mean, how is one supposed to find some of these shrines being a supposed new traveller in Thera, my feet are not toughened that well that I can roam all over Thera endlessly without dying of old age before I had been to only a portion of the places, needless to say the numerous amount of times I would die to terrible monsters I might meet through my travels. I would hate to pick a sphere just because I knew where that immortal's shrine was and I don't want to blatantly come out and ask people "pssssst, hey buddy, do you know where so-and-so's shrine is?". Do immortals mind when prospective followers have to ask that imm where his/her shrine is? Or other players for that matter? > Any thoughts would be welcome. The majority of the time I went searching for a shrine, I would ask other players for a hint first. Try to pick someone that might be of the same alignment, or possibly a worshipper of the immortal whose shrine you are going after. They may tell you that they won't help you, or they may give you a nonsensical clue. So far, no one has told me exactly where a shrine is (A good thing IMHO). I've found that if you already have a general knowledge of Thera, with 3 or 4 clues you can narrow down the places the shrine might be to under 10 areas, which is much better than combing every area in Thera.
> Is there any chance of a guide to shrine locations being available somehow, somewhere? I'm not talking exact locations, just hints or rumors to general directions. Example " the shrine of so-and-so has been rumored to being in a dark forest south of the dwarven forest".
