And your characters choice of deity.
Kind of something I've been thinking on, mainly because as of late I've been writing characters who tend to be fairly religious. So this is kind of a very broad thing in general. As my main character currently is perhaps not excessively religious, but she's often enough either making sacrifices to her preferred deities (All Mother in particular, 'Blood in the water' being one of her most common prayers before usually doing exactly that) or praying. Or even cursing as one does.
She also often is in temples and other places of worship. She's seen much and will often comment on grandeur or lack thereof within such places. And when it comes to worship and piety, she's generally what one would call fairly pious. And perfectly willing to give sacrifices as needed, including and up to the human ones. Though with an obvious preference for animal sacrifices. I generally haven't made religious characters much (being a None myself), so it's kind of a chance to see what everyone else does with this sort of thing.
Do your characters in world go to church, the temple or the woodland glade? Do they have a place of worship? Does someone take them to church? Do they put three doves on the alter for a chance at love? Give a sacrifice to the sea? Have gothic cathedrals? That sort of thing. Have at it, even as is per usual, my posts get rambling.
Also, the prayer to the All Mother of Dromeria that is shortened to 'Blood in the water' quite often in full:
Blood in the water,
a sacrifice to the sea,
a crimson path,
for the Mother of All to lead me.
*Insert sacrificial kill here*
