# Faith and the Hunger

> [!TIP]
> See [Lore]($lore) for the Hunger's own story, in its own words.

## The Faith Economy

Burn items in soul fire at a [Faith Altar](@arcanelens:faith_altar) to earn Faith, with diminishing returns on repeatedly burning the same item — discouraging bulk-farming any single item for easy Faith. Check your current Faith total privately with a [Weird Amulet](@arcanelens:weird_amulet).

Faith is spent on the [Pantheon]($pantheon)'s god-specific perk tracks and, after the Sleeping God is defeated, on responding to the Hunger.

## The Hunger

A watching presence that starts after you defeat **The One Who Sleeps**, scaling with your Faith and repeat boss kills.

- Random blessing and burden moments occur, with visible apparitions and status effects.
- A semi-permanent, one-way "eyes revealed" milestone changes the appearance of the sun and moon for that player once you hit 1,100 Faith after the kill — reversible from the player's own view using a [Sun and Moon Ward](@arcanelens:hunger_items), which just hides the changed sky rather than undoing the milestone.
- Reaching the "eyes revealed" milestone raises **The Hunger Tower**, a landmark topped with a permanent idol offering cryptic teaser dialogue.

## Tokens and the Skill Tree

[Tokens of the Hunger](@arcanelens:hunger_items), earned from the Hunger's activity, are spent at the Hunger Idol on a choice between **The Hunger's Boon** (extends blessing duration) or **The Hunger's Bindings** (shifts blessing/burden odds, with bonus effects at high levels).

Trading Tokens, then **Arcane Ink**, at the Idol eventually grants **The Hunger's Pact** — a reusable key that opens the [Skill Tree]($skill_tree).
