Dwarves and other creatures will come to worship certain "powerful beings" and, as such, will follow the "religion", and have a relationship with its "deity".
 
Dwarves and other creatures will come to worship certain "powerful beings" and, as such, will follow the "religion", and have a relationship with its "deity".
 
A [[historical figure]] with associated spheres that generates in the wild or as a god will be named after its spheres. The [[Language#language_SYM.txt|symbols]] associated with the sphere will be used to generate first names, compound names, and titles. If an [[interaction]] from a deity creates an [[artifact]], then that artifact will be named using the spheres of the god who gave the blessing.

According to Toady: "''Spheres have a parent/child list, a friend list, and a preclude list. A deity has either one or two base spheres, and then they pick friends of those spheres, while never choosing a precluded or parent/child sphere of any of the spheres they already have. I tried to be pretty lax with the preclude list so that interesting relationships could pop up.''"

As extracted from the [[string dump]], the spheres available are [[40d:sphere|unchanged from 40d]]; their relationships with each other as well as their [[40d Talk:Sphere|associated]] naming [[Language#language_SYM.txt|symbols]] may also be unchanged.
 
 
[[Creature token#SPHERE|Creatures]] and [[Inorganic material definition token#SPHERE|inorganic materials]] can be assigned spheres with the [SPHERE:] token.
 
  
A [[Interaction token#IS_SPHERE|secret]] uses any number of [IS_SPHERE] tokens to determine what spheres it is available to.
