Suppose you're level 15, have certain skill/attribute levels, are exploring Capitoline, and are prolly pretty vulnerable? Would your deity give you a warning?

"Luz tells you: 'Be very careful there, my child. This is not the time for your death.'"

"Nuit tells you: 'I approve of suicide. Stay right where you are.'"

"Chuckles tells you: 'He he he he he. What a silly place to be.'"

Generalized, o'course. Not just Capitoline.

Thoughts?

That would be great depending on the circumstances that trigger it.

Meh.

How about warnings from NPCs instead?

"The frantic puppy tugs your ankle back toward Sanctuary Island."

Never had use for the deities, TBH.

An extremely simplistic implementation of this idea will be online shortly. There'll be an accompanying MOTD, but the basics:

- The Deities warn when you enter a super-dangerous Zone.
- The warnings are non-specific. Dangerous Zones have warning signs, so this is just a reinforcement.
- There's no nuance re degree of danger. Just a generic warning.

Could be enhancements later, let's see how people like it.
