The opportunity to request a boon (a favour or kindness from the Divine) is sometimes offered to a mortal by a God when said mortal has won or placed in a competition or event - usually a game. The boon, however, is not guaranteed to be granted; it all very much depends on how you ask and what you ask for. Boons are usually given upon the completion of a riddle and were given out most often by Clementius, the Weaver in the past.
