VAARN . table: ceremonies

One thing I’ve been thinking about is how water might be used in ceremony to calcify bonds between two groups in Vaarn, where water is so scarce. It led me to think about other ceremonies that might occur, what types of components they would include (inspiration goes to the water rites in Dune and the guest right from Game of Thrones), as well as how the actual ceremony might be administered.

Note: if there is a combination that doesn’t make sense (for example: if you rolled Saccharine water and Charred) then possibly reroll or put the material inside a vessel, matrix, or edible that could be charred.
