In order to pay honor to the gods, Clan Whitewood will hold a gathering to give burnt offerings to the gods, and to enjoy a feast. It will be held at the Whitewood Lodge, located in Lavender Beds, Ward 10, Plot 28. To begin, the clan will hold a ceremony to light the altar fires and give the first offering to the gods. Afterwards, the altar will continue burning for any who wish to give an offering to the deity of their choice. Once all offerings have been placed within the altar fire, the feast will begin.
We ask that everyone form a line leading up to the altar, and make it clear when your character is done so that the next may approach and give their offering.
All offerings are required to be bloodless sacrifices. No live or recently deceased offerings will be accepted. In order to keep the event moving smoothly and let everyone have their chance at the altar, we please ask that everyone in attendance be prepared to follow this rule. We also ask that posts made giving the offering be limited to maximum two posts so we can give enough time for everyone.
As long as the bloodless rule is kept, the offering may be whatever is personally relevant to the character and the deity they offer to. Should it be an item that will not fully burn, we will leave the item in the fire during the ceremony to burn the essence of the item. Afterwards what is left will be discarded. The following links are references that may help you get ideas of what your character would like to offer, but is in no way required to choose from any of these references:
While enough food ICly will be provided for everyone, the Feast will be held as a potluck. Any wishing to bring a dish or dishes are welcome to contribute to the festivities. The plot holding the Lodge has a lot of extra room around it, allowing people to spread out and RP as they wish. The food will be held outside, but participants may go indoors if they choose, as well.
