Sacrifice is a: Virtue; a Shrine, and an Ilshenar Moongate.

Virtue

Sacrifice is a virtue that is gained through sacrificing one's fame to a monster in order to redeem it. The monster will then recognize it's wrong-doing and vanish into thin air. The monsters you can sacrifice to include Demons, Enslaved Gargoyles, Evil Mages, Gargoyle Enforcers, Liches and Succubi. In order to sacrifice to a monster it has to be unharmed.

Sacrificing may only be done once per 24 hour period. You have to be at least "Great" to be able to sacrifice. The more you sacrifice, the further you advance on your Virtue path. Sacrificing a Lord/Lady title will yield far more progress down the Virtue path than just Great or Glorious status. Also, the more powerful a monster is you sacrifice to, the more you gain. After sacrificing your fame will be dropped to zero.

A small amount of sacrifice also is gained by completing the quest given by Grizelda the Hag. Completing the Hag's Quest a few times a week will counter the weekly losses in Sacrifice, so that you won't have to loose all your well earned fame regularly.

Rewards

The reward for your sacrifice is the ability to resurrect yourself. For each level you reach on your way, you will be able to resurrect yourself once a week. Thus as Knight of Sacrifice (level 3) you can resurrect yourself 3 times a week.

After resurrecting yourself you will find all your belongings back in your backpack, except for any items that were looted in the time it took you to resurrect. This does not work though if you crossed a serverline (e.g. walked out of a dungeon) before resurrection. A message will warn you, if this is the case.

It is wise to only use this ability when in an emergency. You will not lose any virtue, but only one of the three resurrections.

Shrine

The shrine is located on the main continent (117°15'N, 142°44'E). It is a fully functional shrine; a character may lock his or her karma, be resurected, or even tithe gold there.

Wearer of the Ankh Pendant who chant the word "Cah" at the shrine will receive an increase of +1 Hit Point Regeneration, +1 Stamina Regeneration, with a 50% chance to get one of those further increased to +2 for one hour. A character need not continue to wear the pendant to maintain the increase for said hour.

Moongate

The Sacrifice Moongate (29°42'N, 10°28'W) is located in a cemetary near the Meer town of Lakeshire. Non-mages use this moongate as it is close to a brigand camp with a rescue quest. It is proximate to the Rat Cave.

Lore
