Rites

Rite of Repose

The Oath's Wakeful Doom curse denies the Branded sleep. The Rite of Repose is a quiet altar that loosens that grip just enough to let a tired bearer rest.

What it does

• While Branded, you may sleep in any bed within 8 blocks of the altar
• Night, nearby monsters, and every other rule of sleep still apply
• The altar glows blue while a Branded bearer stands within its reach
• Using the altar reminds you of its radius
• It does not cleanse the brand, weaken the other curses, or touch the Oathbound Relic

Somnolent Dust

Crafted shapelessly:

Phantom Membrane + Amethyst Shard + Glowstone Dust → 2 Somnolent Dust

Crafting the altar

Mine it with a pickaxe to pick it back up.

Rite of Severance

The Rite of Severance is the path for destroying the Oathbound Relic and clearing the Branded state.

Crafting the altar

The altar needs a diamond pickaxe or better to mine, and drops itself when broken.

Requirements

• The Oathbound Relic equipped
• Activation at night or in The End
• Ritual materials: 1 Oblivion Stone, 4 Echo Shards, 4 Crying Obsidian, and 16 Soul Soil

The ritual

• Once awakened, the altar binds the bearer for 30 seconds
• The bearer must stay within 7 blocks of the altar
• Every few moments the altar forces the Oath's curses back through the body: flame, weakness, hunger, darkness, shattered protection, and the rage of nearby creatures
• The Rite fails if the bearer flees, dies, or loses the Relic, or if the altar is broken before it ends

On success

• The Relic is destroyed
• The Branded state is removed
• The player receives Fractured Relic Ash

The Rite is meant to feel costly, dangerous, and deliberate.
