Blessings and prayers
Third Horizon culture: Icons
In cases where you're not sure what to say, there are generic blessings that are always welcome and appplicable.
There are also Icon-specific blessings that are usually used when you know someone well, or have come to know them through a conversation, and you want to acknowledge the situation they're in. These are often used to wish people well when parting company.
