View source for Ritual Guide To: Hallowed Rest

Description: A Kelemvorian ritual for preventing and weakening undead.

Purpose: To reduce the taint from forgotten battlefields, desecrated graveyards, unhallowed grounds or other undead filled areas. This is intended to prevent the raising of undead, and/or weaken the undead already in the area. Notably this ritual has been able to give the Vigilant Knights a day of rest before the timeloop resets.

Requirements: - Ritual Lead must be a druid or clergy, clergy preferably of Kelemvor or sun/protection related deities. At minimum the deity must be non-evil. Being attuned to life also seems to empower it further. - 3 additional ritualists are required - These ritualists can be anyone with an understanding of rituals and a strong focus. - The ritual will be empowered if the ritualists are druids or clergy of Kelemvor or sun/protection related deities.

Optional: A sacred offering can be provided, created from soaking a diamond, sapphire and emerald in holy water.

Guide: The ritual lead (holding the sacred offering if any) begins the ritual ((-ritual -> Rituals -> Hallowed Rest)). The ritualists then join the ritual within sixty seconds. ((-ritual -> "Find nearby Rituals")).

The ritual takes three minutes to perform. During this time, -none- of the ritualists may leave the circle if there is any hope for it to succeed. Over the next three minutes there will be bursts of negative energy which cause spirits to assault the ritualists. These are often powerful wraiths, capable of paralyzing unprepared people or outright killing them in a single hit.

It is possible to empower the ritual, beyond just successfully completion, in a few ways: - By using a sacred offering - By increasing the number of clergy of protection/sun deities or Kelemvor - By increasing the number of druids involved - By increasing the number of participants attuned to life.

Note that without sufficient ritualists, it will fail and draw spirits in without any benefit.
