The high priests of %^BOLD%^%^BLACK%^Shirija%^RESET%^, known as Patriarchs or Matriarchs, are an aloof bunch, keeping mostly to themselves, and the priests of the other evil gods. Their main function is to perform rituals with those of the other dieties to the detriment of the world around them.
While they are all 'patriarchs', there is one High Patriarch, the prime of the order. This, er, lucky soul, while more favoured of %^BOLD%^%^BLACK%^Shirija%^RESET%^ herself, is distinctly less favoured by his lesser companions, any of whom may challenge him (%^BOLD%^challenge
============================================================================== Help on skill : True belief in shirija Guild Level : Omicron Skill type : Mastery Base Experience Cost : 2920 ============================================================================== To conquer death you must... ***BZZTTT*** wrong answer! One cannot conquer death! It is a hopeless, fruitless goal. Of course, having realized this, having whole-heartedly and completely given up all hope, the highest of the high of the caste of Shirija gain special favor, and are more potent when using any of her blessings. This is absolutely essential when starting any ritual for which Shirja is the primary patron, and helps a great deal for any of her lesser spells too. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== It can be trained up to 20 percent of your skill max at level 1.

Of course, any protection granted by Mordulak will protect from Mordulak's favorite injuries too. This ritual's effects can be stacked. Mordulak is, of course, prime in this ritual, and at least one other god must be represented. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on spell : Ritual of death Guild Level : Omicron Spell type : Special Sp Cost : 1316 Casting time : 1 round Affecting skills : true belief in shirija Affecting stats : wis Base Experience Cost : 2366 ============================================================================== This ritual causes its target to die, instantly, upon its completion. It is, of course, easier to do on already weakened subjects. Shirija, Goddess of Death, is of course prime in this ritual; at least one other god must be represented. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on skill : Philosophy Guild Level : Omicron Skill type : Protection Protection category : General Average duration : Average Number of stacks : 1 Ep Cost : 584 Using time : 8 rounds Base Experience Cost : 1718 ============================================================================== Reflecting for a while on the deeper philosophies of life, many high priests have come to the realization that killing is inherently evil! This isn't such a novel idea, of course, but few philosophers in the past have considered it a desirable thing. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on spell : Ritual of torture Guild Level : Omicron Spell type : Special Sp Cost : 1022 Casting time : 1 round Affecting skills : true belief in mordulak Affecting stats : wis Base Experience Cost : 1656 ============================================================================== This ritual causes immense amounts of pain and agony in the target. Of course, since this spell embodies Mordulak's ideal of torture, information is just not an objective - the pain is an end in and of itself. It will, incidentally, also cause immeasurable damage too - though if that happens to kill them, that doesn't necessarily mean their pain has ended. Mordulak is, of course, the primary god for this ritual, and at least two other gods must be represented. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on skill : Draw ritual circle Guild Level : Omicron Skill type : Miscellaneous Ep Cost : 266 Using time : 1 round Base Experience Cost : 1375 ============================================================================== A ritual circle is needed for any of the ritual circle spells. It should have one point for each of the evil gods. Skill in the worship of each god is helpful in drawing the place in the circle for that god. High priests are even more effective at drawing the place of their god, though not inordinately so; basic worship ability is more important. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on spell : Coming of age Guild Level : Omicron Spell type : Special Sp Cost : 1022 Casting time : 1 round Affecting stats : wis Base Experience Cost : 2011 ============================================================================== When an acolyte has been deemed worthy by the brotherhood of the malicious, he or she may be given the position permanently. They must already be an acolyte for this ritual to work, and the god of whom they are an acolyte is prime in the ritual. At least three priests are needed to enact this ritual. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on spell : Ritual of draining Guild Level : Omicron Spell type : Special Sp Cost : 1022 Casting time : 1 round Affecting skills : true belief in shirija Affecting stats : wis Base Experience Cost : 1656 ============================================================================== This ritual drains the vital forces - health, magic, and endurance - of all enemies in the room into the target, until death occurs. Shirija is prime in this ritual, and at least two other gods must be represented. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on spell : Ritual of binding Guild Level : Omicron Spell type : Special Sp Cost : 1022 Casting time : 1 round Affecting skills : true belief in lloth Affecting stats : wis Base Experience Cost : 1656 ============================================================================== This ritual binds all potential enemies so that they can not move, nor really fight in any way. It will not, however, prevent spellcasting. Lloth is prime in this ritual, and at least one other god must be represented. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on spell : Ritual of incarnation Guild Level : Omicron Spell type : Special Sp Cost : 936 Casting time : 1 round Affecting skills : true belief in talakh Affecting stats : wis Base Experience Cost : 1537 ============================================================================== This ritual calls Talakh himself to incarnate, not in the harmer (who, we all admit, is pretty wimpy), but in the target of the circle - hopefully someone worth his time! Talakh is prime in this ritual, and at least one other god must be represented. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Help on spell : Will of the gods Guild Level : Omicron Spell type : Special Sp Cost : 1022 Casting time : 1 round Affecting stats : wis Base Experience Cost : 1656 ============================================================================== With this ritual, a group of harmers can ask the gods to visit their will upon the mortal world, generally to the detriment of the world at large, and the benefit of the priests performing the ritual. Their is no prime god for this ritual - all the evil gods are importuned equally, and there must be a representative for each god. ============================================================================== Created By : Daneel ==============================================================================
