Ra Announcement

Ra Festival

The next Festival will be dedicated to Ra.

As with all Festivals, please take care of testing your requirements as soon as possible (Medium Quartz on pillars, left to right, Medium Topaz on foci, left to right, meditate).

The ceremony for Ra is quite different from the others, for a number of reason :

• Take good note of the wine flavor for your ambrosia, and more importantly, of the exact type of spirit during which you will have to sacrifice it (It could be, for instance, "Mineral spirit of Fire").
• Sacrifices will be done on the Spirit brasier, not the altar.
• You will have to sacrifice your ambrosia while your spirit is burning in the brazier to please Ra.

Consequently, to maximize efficiency, we will ask all of you to arrive at this festival a few minutes before it starts. The host will go through the spirits one at a time, calling their name loud, and you will have to sacrifice your ambrosia at this moment. Spirits will burn for 2 minutes, then the next one will be called and start burning. As soon as your spirit is called and burning, do your sacrifice. After going through all the spirits, we'll see to burn a few again in case someone missed the call or couldn't help arrive late.

In addition to your spirit burning on the brasier, 7 bonfires of at least 7000 wood have to be burning. Hence, they will need tending so they don't consume their wood too fast, and we could use a few tenders for the ceremony (it just consists of adding one water each tick to the fire, so it doesn't burn too wildly).

Ambrosias are stored in the Ra chests by the altar @1508, 3490, by alpha order, last chest being for multi-flavor ambrosias (but you should grab a single flavor ambrosia if it's available)

For any further questions, feel free to ask directly on the Festivals chat (membership is on auto-accept, Guild Hall @1568, 3032) or directly with Blondie or Mehrane.

If possible, too, keep the Progression page up to date.

Hoping to see many of you Saturday. --Mehrane 09:52, 15 May 2013 (EST)
