	* '''Linal (Ritual of Death)''': [[File:Dais.jpg\|150px\|thumbnail\|right\|Death Dais]]The Linal is an elaborate and the most ritualistic of the Rituals. Great care is given to the preperation and protection of the body. The body is the vessel for the soul. While alive the body, by its actions and deeds, is responsible for protecting the soul. After death this responsibility falls to select group of Eota's, literally body guards. The body is stripped and an artist make likeness's of the deceases tattoos. Then the body is washed and wrapped in linen. Chosen friends and family carry the body to a dais that has a carving of the Heart of Kerelia in the center. The body is layed upon the dais. A priest gives a prayer and the body is left until morning. If the body is left undisturbed by the elements and animals by sunrise then it is believed that the soul has achieved hallodor. Once hallodor is achieved the soul is liberated and sent to heaven where it becomes a God and sits with the other Gods. If the body is disturbed in any way hallodor is not achieved and the soul will be reincarnated. If the body is no longer on the dais the soul will cease to exist.		* '''Linal (Ritual of Death)''': [[File:Dais.jpg\|150px\|thumbnail\|right\|Death Dais]]The Linal is an elaborate and the most ritualistic of the Rituals.
