I have nice-running Dark Elf archer who did Kranach quest, reached PC6
on last minute to save that damn dog. And currently he is on its way to
his second precrowning on PC5 (I love finding altars here) . But he
has no Literacy!

How to live without it? Or how to get it? I can not read even damn
Scroll of Identify!

And by the way, people. Never stand on altar without locking all doors
in the room!!!!! Goblins sacrificed my most promising characters more
than five times )

Bye.
Sincerely yours, Michael.

If you get to Dwarftown on D:8-11 or so Thundaar (the dwarven
elder) will give you a potion of literacy for his first quest reward.
If you have literacy he won't give it of course. It is considered an
artifact.

It's based on what the gods like and your alignment. Since the chaos
gods don't dislike chaotic sacrifices, you can be sacrificed on one
regardless of your alignment, and chaos alters are therefore the most
dangerous by far. However, you can still be sacrificed by neutral
creatures on a neutral altar (and probably lawfuls on a lawful alter) if
you are not of the correct alignment, but you should be safe on those
two as long as you are the proper alignment.

There are also other ways of gaining the literacy skill: in ADOM youa re
what you eat in certain circumstances...

A blessed (or possibly uncursed) dark sage corpse will do it.
