Choosing which god to pray to can be difficult, so I’m glad you’ve come to me; as a Certified Prayer Advisor©, I’ll happily guide you to the best deity for your needs. Having a run of bad fortune? Pray to Gary Gold, the Good-Luck God. Lack confidence when you flirt? You’re gonna need Stagthar the Charismatic. If you want children, pray to ValDark the Hyper-Fertile, who’ll fix up everything down there. Just make sure you do her bidding afterward, or she'll burn down your house. No need to be nervous, though—they’re all gods, so I'm sure they’ll treat you fairly.
