	There is one additional room in those temples, built so that no sunlight ever shines into it and always kept in semi-darkness with illumination provided only by a few candles. In this room the believers can bring sacrifices - usually small animals - to placate the evil gods. Not everyone believes that this works at all, and even those who do are sure it works only partially and for a short time. But if you have an important event in your life, such as a marriage or a critical business, many choose to play it safe and offer the gods a sacrifice for looking the other way, just on that day.

	The Blasphemy believes that The Six are not, in fact, good gods. Just like The Ten, they have evil in mind and humans are but a piece of their plan, which is why they occasionally do good upon mortals. They have won a heavenly war against The Ten, and thus re-written history to make themselves appear as the good gods. The Ten are not divided because of weakness of character, but because they were scattered after their defeat.		The Blasphemy believes that The Six are not, in fact, good gods.
