Rituals

The intent of this page is to list the Common Rituals in their entirety, so that players are able to see what rituals are available at Character Creation.

The Uncommon Rituals will be listed with a summary only. This is information that is fine for characters with the appropriate Faction Lore and the rituals skill to be knowledgeable of.

The Rare Rituals will be listed with a sub-faction and summary. That information is only available to individuals with the rituals skill and lore of that sub-faction.

Note: Not all uncommon and rare rituals are listed here. This is to give characters an idea of what sorts of things are out in the world. Some things are just too secret to be widely known.
