help > piety
Piety is a measure of how pleased Nature is with the efforts of her Changeling creatures. With every offering to the Quintessence, the Piety of the Changeling being increases, if the Fey neglects to make an offering, their Piety decreases. The higher the Piety of the Changeling, the greater the blessings that flow from the Quintessence. This can be as simple as a small healing, to as powerful as a full healing, or a massive skill boost. The time between offerings depends on the Changeling's level; the more powerful the Changeling, the closer to the Mother, the Changeling needs to be to draw upon the Quintessence to fuel its greater powers, and thus the shorter the time interval. For Changelings, the higher the piety rating, the closer he comes to earning 100% of the experience per kill. Changelings offer the heads of the defilers they kill while in one of their non-normal forms. The command available to the Changeling to remove the head from a slain defiler is, 'behead'.
