The altar serves as your primary interaction point with the gods. You'll find silhouettes representing various deities, each with their own preferences.

Prioritize offerings that provide higher experience points to level up gods more quickly. Rare items like Spoils of War or Cargo Bags can grant massive experience boosts for specific gods.
Once a god levels up, you earn a worship point, which can be spent to unlock their unique blessings. For access to more potent blessings, you'll need to upgrade your altar to level two, typically after building a carpenter.
