The Arceus Shrine

Resting in the Silvery Ocean between Gale Spring, Noir Vale, and Scorched Mountain is the grandest temple in the Sun Empire: the Arceus Shrine. Gale Spring is known for its Priest-Leaders and its beautiful temple — and still, beside the Shrine, even that splendor feels intimate. This sacred place is dedicated to the four great deities believed to have shaped the world:
The Shrine keeps a quieter boundary than Gale Spring's welcoming halls. It is private, heavily guarded, and tended day and night by priests and priestesses who have devoted their lives to Lady Arceus. Those who wish to enter earn the trust and cooperation of the temple's guardians first; only then are the inner doors considered at all.
The rare few who are allowed inside often return with stories of a presence within the Shrine — something gentle, something warm, something watching as if the stones themselves remember every earnest prayer.
Rarer still are tales of miracles: a prayer answered, a deity's favor brushing a petition. Perhaps the heart behind it was sincere. Perhaps deeds caught a god's attention. Perhaps the pantheon was simply feeling generous that day. No one knows for certain.
On Pokimono, a wish is a petition: you roleplay asking at the Shrine. If mods approve, you get a blessing that shows on your character sheet and is tracked in Discord through PokiBot.
Fortune and sincerity willing, your petition might be heard too.
Write the visit in character; mods and PokiBot handle the mechanical side once everyone agrees.
How wishes work
Start with roleplay at the Shrine. Mods read your request and may approve it as written, adjust it, or suggest a close match (another perk, a relic, a plot hook) so it still fits what you were going for. When that is settled, PokiBot applies the matching rewards or inventory updates.
In-setting, the shrine cares about sincerity. Petitions that are mostly about showing off or being cruel to others rarely get far—mods use that bar too when they review.
What petitions cannot do
- Break major setting rules.
- Force another member’s character into something they did not agree to.
- Skip mod queues, applications, or other moderation steps.
- Hand out unlimited power with no story weight.
- Instantly wrap a big shared plot everyone else is still building.
- Skip normal progression unless mods explicitly allow it for your case.
