This template is a subtype of {{Quote fancy}}.
Usage
This template has a table of all the deity quotes (including Vlaakith) in the game extracted directly from the game files so the only required parameter is the name of the deity. On the deity pages themselves, you can use {{PAGENAME}} as the parameter to this template. For the image, it uses <deity> Icon.png which exist for the player-selectable deities.
Alternatively, the quote and image can be overridden with the parameters quote and image. The option image = none may be preferred for deities without dedicated icons.
