TotGaD: Ritual Requirements
-
- Utter your lamentations before a candle sculpted into the shape of Princess Nar. When your lamentations are complete, wash your hands in a iced water held in a basin of bronze. At last you may begin your ritual work in earnest.
- You must have a kimono fashioned from fabric that has been stained by the blood of a religious martyr. To finish the ritual you must engage in the Dance of Meht-Sahrnoth, a forbidden dance that requires you to shed the garment at its last step.
- To prepare for the ritual beforehand you must find an ancient skull that has been in the earth for no less than a hundred years. The skull must be studded with precious jewels and silver. The skull must be presented and held aloft at the culmination of the ritual.
- Mortify your flesh with a whip of thorns. Display your wounds proudly to the demons and entities brought forth by the ritual's workings. Let them admire your dedication and handle your abused flesh. Once you have met their approval you may proceed with the ritual's other requirements.
- In the three days leading up to the ritual you must fast, drinking neither water nor eating of any food. During the ritual itself you must rend your clothes and loudly proclaim your existential insignificance. When you are in a state of abjection you may finish the ritual's incantation.
