Don't worry, it's not as sinister as it sounds. In the upcoming Harvest Festival, which will be posted this Saturday 19th September, Sylvia will be conducting a blood ritual designed to promote supernatural unity. Because the witches are feeling rather paranoid and under threat at the moment, it is also designed to reveal your true loyalties.
Who can take part?
One character representing each supernatural species (except ghosts) can volunteer to take part in the ritual.
What does it involve?
Simply stepping forward when you are called and having your palm sliced open. The blood will then be thrown into a bonfire. You'll be left with a shallow cut for your troubles, but the witches will heal this for you if you can't heal yourself.
So what's the point?
It's a symbolic gesture. Sylvia will say some nice words about promoting unity and peace (not directed at anyone in particular, but you know who you are) and you can go home knowing you've done your bit to make nice with the witches.
You seem to have missed the bit about revealing your true loyalties.
Ah, yes. This is the bit they won't tell you. The ritual includes a spell which will reveal the true heart of the character whose blood is being offered. Specifically: it will reveal how that character feels about Circle Daybreak, whether a loyal ally or a sworn enemy or something in between. The colour of the flame and smoke produced when the blood is offered will indicate that feeling.
If you'd like to volunteer your character to take part in the ritual, please fill in the form below! Places will be given on a first-come first-serve basis.
The ritual is only one part of the festival, which will be a free-for-all mingle event. So everyone is very welcome to join in the event, whether or not you take part in the ritual!
