Rites Summary​

• Each round starts with the orb in the middle; any rusher may pick it up.
• Each team must always have 1 rusher and 2 defenders.
• The Rusher may move and attack
• Defenders are pinned and may only swing weapons.
• Holding the orb makes you a rusher by default. Holding the orb also prevents you from attacking with a weapon or packet.
• Once any points are scored, the round resets.

Swapping Rushers​

• The team without the orb may designate a rusher:
• The current rusher says: “(Name), Ready!”
• Defender responds: “Prepare to die!”

Combat & Respawn​

• If hit by a weapon or packet, you are banished to your pyre and count to 10 seconds before rejoining. The 10 second timer begins immediately upon banishment.
• If hit while holding the orb, drop it immediately.
• All packet attacks require an incantation: “I call upon the stars to banish you!”

Passing the Orb​

• Pass instantly to an adjacent player.
• Throw to the ground on a two-count (“1…2…drop”).

Scoring​

• Throw orb into enemy pyre → Throw Points(based on class).
• Jump into enemy pyre yourself → Rush Points (based on class) and you are banished for the duration of the next round.
