In the [[religion|religion system]] [[File:Piety.png]] '''Piety''' is a measure of how pious a [[character]] is. It increases by a variety of mechanics. It contributes to [[Score]] on character's death.

Piety is renamed [[File:Karma.png]] '''Karma''' for Hindus, Buddhists and Bön, '''Purity''' for Jains and '''Te''' for Taoists, but is functionally identical for them.

== Gaining Piety ==
* [[Courtiers#Gathering courtiers|Invite]] and appoint a [[Council#Court Chaplain|lord spiritual]] with high [[learning]] skill:
** You get a small monthly piety gain based on state learning, increased by Majesty [[technology]]
** If [[tribal]], having your lord spiritual ''Build Zeal'' gives +0.05 piety per skill per month. With 20 learning this comes out to +1 piety/month.
*** If zealot troops are raised and you are not fighting a holy war, dismiss them within a year to avoid piety loss.
* Granting a temple to a courtier gives piety (25 piety if barony tier, 50 piety if county capital)
* [[Education|Tutor]] two children. Some childhood personality events let you "pray for the child" if you are not cynical. (Only without Conclave)
* Some personality [[traits]] award Piety per month. {{iconify|Zealous}} and {{iconify|Humble}} give 1 Piety/month, while {{iconify|Content}} and {{iconify|Chaste}} give 0.5 piety/month.
* Theology [[Focus]] can give 100 piety in seclusion event.
* Warfare:
** Winning battles and occupations in wars with religious enemies grants Piety
** Winning holy wars gives you an opportunity to grant temples for 25 Piety each, or even entire counties for more Piety
** [[War contribution|Contributing]] to successful Holy Wars and [[Crusades]] grants Piety
* Some [[temple]] buildings give monthly piety to the holder. The holder also provides piety to their liege, [[Opinion#Effects on vassal duties|depending on opinion]].
* Some [[hospital]] buildings give monthly piety
* Releasing [[imprisonment|prisoners]] of your religion gives 5 piety.

** For the Papacy, see [[College of Cardinals#Strategies|controlling the College of Cardinals]].
** Holy orders use Open Elective succession, which is based on the sum of age and prestige. See [[Advanced marriage guide]] for strategies to increase dynasty prestige. You can [[assassination|murder]] the captain and others in line for the title, or press claims against a landed holy order.
