Details on the divine globes in city patron temples.

Within the temple of those cities presently benefitting from the

figurehead of a divine patron one may find, at the centre of the

patron's temple (usually in the altar room) an enormous translucent

globe containing, at first glance, swirling essences that periodically

form themselves into scenes involving prominent members of Avalon

society. These scenes are, in fact, merely a superficial indicator of

the deeper purpose of these divine globes for they are an embodiement of

the past decade of life and times of their citizens. Battles great and

small, works public and private, conflicts, bloodshed, youngsters

growing more wise; indeed everything in some way contributes to the

great gaseous substance of the divine altarpiece globe.

Everything that happens involving a citizen in some way has an impact on

the globe, whether of successful consequence or not. Only a range of

actions involving youngsters yet to have graduated the academy are

excluded from the globe's masterful eye; some, let it be said, but not

all.

Is possible and indeed beneficial, at times, to focus the divine eyepiece,

to heighten its perceptive resonance, to lend greater importance to times of

triumph and deeds of worth to one's homeland - especially if one knows a

special effort is being made at a particular time. Thus, come each New Year,

the amalgamation of the past decade's deeds can be biased, by citizens of

each city, to hold an idealised version of events. It is the 'value' of

this idealised version of the decade that defines the powers that can

be called upon by a citizen from his or her city's globe. Nothing

escapes the globe, whether positive or negative, but a citizen can nudge

an event or act's relative importance and this, over a ten year period,

can have enormous significance to the end-benefits a globe affords its

homeland. The power ready-for-release by citizen call to action from the

dawning of each New Year's Day is (while it lasts) one of the mightiest

influences in the land.

Thus there are two aspects to working with the divine globe of one's

homeland. The first is to heighten the importance (in the eyes of the

globe's record) of deeds that bring honour to a city, and the second to

call upon and utilise the amalgamation of the past decade gathered, at

any given time, within the confines of the globes glass-bound interior.

triumphs to the globe's all-seeing eye, and HELP GLOBEACTIONS to see details
