GuideThe Sacrifice

The Sacrifice

A family member who finished an act of the oath may give their life for the house: their heir keeps every boon and the house gains 10 renown.

When you can do it

The Chronicle's Sacrifice page shows each condition with a tick or a cross.

  • Your current character finished an act of the oath during their life.
  • It is night, under a full moon. The full moon comes every 8 nights; the book counts down.
  • You stand within 6 blocks of an ancestor's resting place: where any family member of your house died. A founder with no graves yet may use the steward's home instead.

How

open the Chronicle and click The Sacrifice bookmark (or the link on its contents page). The [Offer your life] button is at the top of that page. If something is missing, chat tells you exactly what; otherwise a scroll asks you to confirm with [I give my life]. When a character finishes an act, chat also offers a [How?] link.

A parchment scroll titled The Sacrifice, with the buttons Give my life and Not yet
The scroll asks you to confirm. The red button is a grave choice: there is no way back.

What happens

  • Your character dies for real. Their belongings fall where they knelt; heirlooms stay with the family as always.
  • They are remembered as the Devoted, and the whole server hears that they gave their life for the house.
  • Every child keeps all of the parent's boons, the house gains +10 renown, and no blood debt is created.
  • The next act of the oath can begin with the heir.
  • After three sacrifices, the house becomes Blood-Sworn: a legendary trait (+1 attack damage, +2 armor, +1 heart) for every member, now and in the future.
