Avendar

In Avendar, the gods offer a certain background presence to the lives of all people. Some find themselves touched in ways that profoundly affect their lives, typically leaving a visible mark. This is commonly manifested at birth, but can occur at later points in life. Most consider this a sign of the god's favour, but may simply represent a passing interest. That said, if one so marked profoundly displeases a god, or is chosen as an exemplar of another god's faith, the mark will be removed.

Creating a character with a god touch costs 3 trains upon character generation, but they may be earned for free in play through good roleplay. One may only have a god touch from a single deity. Should the mark be removed for any reason, any cost will not be refunded.

The effects of these touches are as follows:
