Speak to the Land

Ritual Points	45

Using the ancient rites of communion with nature, those who perform this ritual can make a bargain with the land itself. If using the power of verdance, they plead for healthy, plentiful crops. Harvest will be bountiful and all plants grow with ease. If using the power of ruin, they plead for blighted, wilting vegetation. Famine will result and even houseplants fail to grow. The ritual can affect an area up to 5 miles in diameter for 6 months. The power of verdance calls for an offering of wealth (typically produce), and the sacrifice of an animal. The power of ruin calls for an offering of wealth (typically tarnished silver) and a sacrifice of human blood.
