100. The Catechism and the ClosingEvery chapter of Disciples of Devotion opens with hand-written scripture: all 2,349 verses of the Canon, the Chronicle, the Legends, the Teachings, the Rites, the Scripture, the Codex and the Politics of Begging, gathered into the chapter where they belong.
After the hand-written verses, the Verse Engine takes over. It builds each remaining verse from hand-written pieces of the faith (blessings, woes, sayings of the saints, the deeds of the faithful, the acts of the Coil) arranged by fourteen sacred forms. Within a chapter, no verse repeats. And because each verse is built from its number, Devotion 42:7731 is the same verse on every computer, forever. A guild can agree: tonight, we read from Chapter 64.
A million verses written out in full would weigh close to two hundred megabytes and stop World of Warcraft from loading. Built by the Engine, the whole addon is about one megabyte.
Feature
