Theology

The Theology Skill has a number of specialisations for different aspects of liturgy and ritual. The Theology specialisations each give general knowledge, and dogma about this area, they are separate from the Ritual specialisations needed to actually perform these ceremonies.If you need to know something about a specific sait, life, death, payers, etc. then use these specialisations

Requires Theology 16

Hard technique. This is the knowledge of the little used liturgy of Apat

Theology Alhedra - Defaults to Theology -2

Theology Minor Saint - Defaults to Theology -5

There are many minor saints each with their own histories and teachings. For the most part most clerics do not learn all the details about these saints, so answering specific questions about them is quite difficult.

Average specialisation. This is the knoweldge of the history, practices and behaviours of the various major heresies. Such information, like the forbidden works, is often well guarded and official permission may be needed to learn some of this knoweldge fully.
