Theology

While the vast majority of the inhabitants of the Compact could say the name of each deity in the Pantheon and what they represent, the theology skill represents a deeper knowledge of the religions of Arvum, its philosophy and debates. Practiced by priests, but also pretentious nobles who wish to quote dead philosophers to excessive degrees.

For information about what your character should generally know if you have this skill, do 'lore theology 1', 'lore theology 2', etc.
