The concepts of [[Sin and Atonement|sin]] and of good works form two cornerstones of [[The Holy Order of King Dav|Davite]]
faith. Ways to avoid (or expiate) the former and perform the latter are
important even to those whose faith is rather weak; both purity and
goodness are required to join the [[Lord of the Springs|Lord]] after death, and good works can help
make up for sin as well.

The full scope of what is considered good work differs from duchy to duchy.
Charity is a universal good, but the focus of charity depends on cultural
factors: to the [[Vandagan]]s, it might be a warm roof over the head of the
homeless; to [[Lithmorran]]s, it might be an education in faith and a useful
trade; to the [[Tubori]], it might be home-cooked meals. Generally, however,
good works consist of anything that helps ameliorate the suffering of the
lower classes. (It should be noted, however, that good works do not focus
on lifting the lower classes to higher ranks - that would be inappropriate
and damaging to the fabric of society.)

Of note, good works apply to assisting other Davites (and the prosperity of
the holy kingdom of Lithmore, of course). Outside of guiding them to
Davism, assisting unbelievers is not seen as an example of service in the
Lord's interest - though some might still exercise kindness to them as a
means of bringing them closer to the true faith.
