    A post is nailed to each den door of the Sanctum. 

     

     

     

     

    ”Dear resident. It’s come to our attention that over all and daily spiritual devotion is lower than desired. Many look at the spirits and see only sacrifices. If you are struggling with your own creativity or simply are dull, have no fear. The following will contain standard ritual practice for every day. This is to help other spirits than Luara gaze their eyes upon you. To know only one spirit, is to shun the rest. Many can say they have faith, so let’s put that to the test. “

     

    Overall worship concepts: 


     

    Spoiler

     

    Praise: This is done by giving chant to a spirits name, their will and belief. Commonly, praise is done with more than chanting. The more devote of the spirits will carry rattles, drums, and the sort to dance, play and sing as they conduct offerings. 

     

    Fire: Fire is how offerings transcend this mortal plain and move onto the next. 

     

    Offerings: Typically, these are burnable. However none burnable offerings are commonly placed around a spirits shrine or altar. 

     

    Sacrifices: Contrary to popular belief, whilst the spirits do not mind mortal sacrifices. Most can be appeased with none mortal sacrifices and namely, offerings. Some spirits will shun any who conduct live sacrifices in their name. (Such spirits as Akezo, Isuz.) Too many sacrifices and or poorly done, will result in a spirits direct anger at you. 

     

     

     

    Step one 1: Early Morning: Awaken and offer thanks to Dazkur and Deltrhok. Dazkur, the Greater Immortal spirit of loyalty and protection (For keeping you safe another day.) An offering to Dazkur can be simple. The act of protecting, or in a more simple case. Deltrhok, The Greater Immortal spirit of dreams and slumber. 

     

    Spoiler

     

    Offering to Dazkur

    • The Devotee must gain a bowl and seek out to find fresh milk from an animal. (Spoiled milk will upset the spirit). Offerings that can burn are to be placed within the bowl. Such as flowers, berries, grain from harvest. Next, a fire is prepared. 
    • If not located near a shrine or altar of Dazkur, simply give loud yelling praise to Dazkur. With fire made and offering bowl prepared. The devotee pours the milk and offerings slowly over the flames. To cause the milk to burn and bubble on logs, and offerings turn to smoke. Which will ascend to the realm beyond. 

     

     

    Spoiler

     

    Offering to Deltrhok. 

    • The Devotee must record their own dreams if remember, or seek out another to learn of their dreams. Next, above ground, a fire is made. Which is used to transcend offerings to the land beyond. For this, a meal will suffice. Create two dishes, one for yourself, and one for offering. After you have made both meals. Take the offering meal in hand. 
    • As above, if not near a shrine or altar of Deltrhok, give loud shouts of praise to the spirit. Slowly, burn sections of the offering meal into the fire whilst giving praise to the lord of sleep. 
    • Once each section is burned, sit down to enjoy your meal in turn and get a start of the day. 

     

     



    Step 2: Early Morning: The elementals. They help make life possible, and unlike Immortal Spirits. Elementals do not require mortal praise to be. Though they still enjoy praise. 

     

    Spoiler

     

    Offering to Niezdark, Elemental of Storms

    • The Devotee ideally selects a time during a storm to praise the spirit. However, is not required. Niezdark is a wild spirit, a small sacrifice shall do here. First, capture a rabbit or small animal. Only the one. Next, prepare the sacrifice. The following example has been made for rabbits. 
    • Make an incision down the chest. Take your knife and cut fully around the neck and each leg. You will notice that the rabbit has a layer of fat between their actual flesh. (Most animals have this layer of fat.). Using your hands, skin the rabbit. Pull apart the chest incision and if done correctly up to this point. Most of the hide should slip right off the rabbit. 
    • Keep the hide, and let it soak in an alcoholic beverage of choice. Make another incision down the chest, to remove the organs. Go ahead and wrap removed organs in the hide. Next, fill the rabbit with offerings. Such as flowers, cheeses, berries and small edible things. Next, prepare a fire. 
    • With the fire made, if not near a Niezdark shrine or altar, give loud praise. Then, burn the hide first. Wait until it is fully ash before offering the body of the rabbit to the realm beyond. 

     

    Offering to Kulthark, Elemental of Metal

    • The Devotee finds a piece of metal or enters a mine to find ore. Kulthark, Elemental of metal will accept many offerings. It is easier than such however, as no other act than smelting down metal and using it pleases Kulthark greatly. If Devotee lacks metallurgy knowledge, seek one with such. Simply give praise loudly to Kulthark during this time if not located near an altar or shrine. 
    • Next, place the metal upon a shrine or altar to Kulthark. If one is not found, one must be constructed. 

     

    Offering to Skathach, Elemental of Fire

    • The most easy to do, one must simply create any fire and give praise around it to Skathach. Being the spirit of fire, Skathach enjoys the act of its creation. The more devoted place offerings within the flames as well. 

     

    Offering to Akathro, Elemental of Water

    • Much like Skathach. Find a body of water, make a fire and conduct praise and offerings. If the body of water has filth within it, clean it before departing to gain favor with Akathro. This spirit enjoys fish and sea life as sacrifices. 

     

    Offering to Bregthar, Elemental of Earth

    • As seen above, find a mountain or cavern. Make a fire and conduct praise and offering. Bregthar enjoys minerals, and stones. Cave dwelling animals like bats and bugs make ideal sacrifices. 

     

    Offering to Fiarza, Elemental of Air. 

    • Head to an open area. Make a fire. in addition, bring wind chimes or some sort of lung based instrument. Hang up the wind chimes or play the instrument in between chants and dances of praise. Fiarza enjoys avian creatures as their ideal sacrifice. 

     

     

     

    Step 3: Mid Day: Immortal Spirits:

    There are many, many immortals. This time in the day should be used to give praise to an immortal or few. The more devote tend to do as much as they can, however, simply praising a different Immortal each day works fine. This example, will use Akezo.  

    Spoiler

    Offering to Akezo, Great Immortal Spirit of Healing

    • Akezo dislikes any creature sacrificed in their name. Sacrificing any creature to Akezo will result in the spirits direct anger at you. Easy way to give this spirit praise is by healing others, teaching medical practices, tending the wounded of  a battlefield or so on. 
    • Offerings done, should not contain any living creature. However, items such as animals milk, picked flowers, berries and harvest, do just fine with the spirit. 

     

    Step 4: Late day: Ancestors

    The Ancestors are a stable of Maehr Culture. From the great and mighty Krug, to the Dalmakia trio. Many have their own ancestors, and we implore you to praise your direct own during this time. Ancestral offerings range from anywhere to personal things that the spirit enjoyed in life. To valuables. Ancestral spirits follow the same rules as other spirits with offerings. Many ancestors have their own prayers. 

     

    If you’re looking for offering ideas to an ancestor, read above. Any of the rituals preformed can generally be applied to other spirits.

  2. -1 Looks to much like the other water lovecraft magic that had been attempted to be passed. I do not think this offers anything new in the ways of dark magic. This Eldritch niche is already held by the Shade parasite magic.  

     

     

    However. This seems like a perfect fit if say. Shade was removed?? I’d accept the **** out of some deep dark waters over current Shade stuff. 

  3. The wagons pulled out from the city. Guilt stung a Mali’kers heart. Making a mental note to return in time to check upon the ‘ker. May he find his peace. To her, Ailmar had been a friend in foreign lands. Apart of her wished he’d find a safer place to live a quiet, happy life. This was not the end, it never would be. May her name rest well. A small group of caravans link together. A new age started once more. Qudlia wonders what Ghorza has laid before her, and her kin. 


    A dark elf stood within the dark chambers of the palace. He had never been around much. The young man folds his arms across his chest, narrowing his eyes. “You’ll need to leave at some point. We should head home. Take what we have left. And await our next life. Relax, and rest uncle.”

  4. Ah, yes. Thank you for delivering me more socially acceptable spirit sacrifices.  +1

  5. A Mali’ker reads over. Taking a mental note of just the other day when she told the second in command of this monster hunting guild that they had shades down the road and he seemed to have no idea. The dark elf remembers the road to the guild. How it passes directly next to the manor. How it comes to the bend near it, along the moat. How demonic devices levitate overhead.  Demons, shades. Portals, worms. She dips her head with a sigh. Speaking aloud to her kin. “Start to prepare and stock up. I get the feeling even more of Arcas is about to be set asunder.

    A Letter of Sanctuary

     

    Sent of the back of a Crow, Dak’ir would be the recipient of a letter bearing the Delevoye Clan Crest.

     

    Dak’ir Des’nox,

         It is with great sorrow that I greet you under these circumstances. The last I visited your vast caverns I sought a place to rebuild my clan, my family, after the loss of my haelun. I swore to you that the Delevoye Clan would offer it’s services to the Onyx Sanctum, and I am not a woman who takes back her words. Despite our disagreements, my clan’s hall is open to both you and our people in Asimu’lei. Should you seeks refuge, the Lunar Domain’s doors are open to both your clans and your citizens. 

         While the Lunar Domain is not exactly what you wanted whilst forming the Onyx Sanctum, you will forever be welcome. Whether temporarily as you rebuild, or permanently. You and your faction have options; and I will not allow our kin to remain without a home.

     

     

    May the Ancestors guide you,
      Luna Delevoye.

    "I offer thanks to Clan Delevoye. On behalf of Clan Jusmia. But fear not we have covered every inch of Arcas. We have picked enough locations for us to move about with ease. I am sorry to inform you that the Lunar Domain is indeed not what we are looking for. We can not share the same halls with the drui, Xan, or magic ker that do nothing to learn of where their blood comes from. I wish the Lunar Domain to prosper as I always have. But we have already found our new home. We had expected to have to move due to the high elves attempt at a dark elven puppet state. And their desire to get us there. Fear not, we will thrive as the first who were blessed by Luara did. But I regret to hammer home the point of not tolerating magics that oppose the spirits and ancestors. Your concern is touching. We have been planning for this day since we stepped foot on Arcas. As our kin always have. I hope you find respite in your Lunar Domian. And I pray Luara keeps the greedy pale skins from wanting to rule your lands. 

     

    May Luara guide your foot steps in her light.

  9. "Add this to the ignore pile. We don't let in dwed anymore, no matter where we go. " Daichia comments with a frown. "And to think I was going to try and keep killing the lurkers and even offer aid to help teach how to slay them. No matter. We will seal ourselves off from the very world." He informed his kin.

  10. "Indeed we shall be leaving. But do not mistake us for the white-skinned sons of Malin. We are the offspring of Valulari, returning to the pale skins that seek only to whitewash us in their skin and ways, is an option we can not take. We will thrive in our own. Taking once more to caravan. It is a shame that you believe only ruling over this land is the final option. We must ensure that the Mali'ker flourish without the influence of outsiders. To long have people used my kin for numbers. Giving them titles and land that falls away so quick. Too long have the pale skinned of Malin tried to use our kin as fodder in their wars. 

     

    There will be no bloodshed, in the years to come we both will forget one another. I pray all my kin to forget this world. Those worthy enough to step through the gate of Kor and face the judgment of their ancestors. The heretics will forever walk alone or be trapped within other after lives. Prosperity to your stone keeps. And blessed is the beauty of the hidden caverns. " 

     

    Signed
