Crime and Punishment

  research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. 

Killing hoplites and capital guards will make all of them aggressive toward you. After you've been killed, they will forgive you.

Stealing from NPCs and shops will increase the cost of items at shops. Costs will also be increased if you kill too many citizens. Slaughtering the traders makes you banned from purchasing goods.

If you become notorious enough for stealing and killing in Ephebe your name will be written on the bronze stele before the Citadel. The names on the bronze stele are erased once in a while.

Altars

There are various altars all around the city where you can donate money, offer gifts to the gods, and sacrifice animals to receive temporary divine rewards. Appropriate animals may be bought from Zevgatis' stall in the Harbour Market, else found in the streets (chickens and goats only).

For Astoria, items with the word "rose" in them appear to work (i.e., pale "rose" chiton). Similarly, Flatulus wants "bean" items (i.e., baked "bean", coffee "bean", runner "bean"...).

There is also a roadside altar on Philosopher's Walk with rotates as to which deity it is dedicated to. In addition to the deities above with permanent altars, the following deities have also been seen:

The actual reward received is randomly picked from a set of rewards for the deity in question. Sacrificing to Cubal might for example result in one of the following rewards:

• Divine protection for a certain amount of time
• One point strength and one point intelligence boost
• Two points strength boost

Offer attempts can be failed. Some possible "rewards" for failure may include  research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. :

• Nothing
• Temporary blindness

Note that wizards and witches appear to be excluded from receiving the above rewards, as per the Achievement: Sacred Stabber achievement text. However, there is no punishment for the attempt to offer, donate, or sacrifice. Animals may still be sacrificed at altars by wizards/witches for the sacrifice achievement.

Thieves' Guild

The local Thieves Guild guildhall is located in hidden underground tunnels and might be a bit dangerous to get into for less nimble adventures. It's rather small, about the size of the Djelian outpost, featuring a fighting classroom, a small shop, and a room with a weapons fence, Adriano. Non-thieves cannot enter the shop. And be aware that the purse of non-thieves may be a bit lighter after a visit to the guild.

There is also an easily accessible jewelry fence - Klepton the Fixer - at the end of Ponder Alley. Unlike many fences, non-thieves can ask to list special items wanted by Klepton.
