People keep talking about crowning and pre- and postcrowning and the problems with all three; what is all this about?
Okay, from the beginning. Crowning is an event of religious confirmation whereby your deity acknowledges your incredible devotion by declaring you their Champion and heartily rewarding you with a gift and other favors. Pre- and postcrowning (hereafter referred to as gifting) occur when a character does not meet certain requirements, but is worthy of some acknowledgments; these yield a gift from the deity, but none of the other benefits. Some view this as an opportunity for a free artifact and so devote their characters to their deity at an early age. If all other requirements for a gifting are met and you still can’t seem to get rewarded, there may be too many artifacts already generated to reward a character of the current level; god-gifting will only occur if the character’s level is high enough relative to the number artifacts already generated in the game (level must be greater than or equal to 8 + (3 * number_of_artifacts_generated)). So there cannot be any gifting of any variety
