An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Becoming the Merines is not an easy prospect. Only specific Ferines are capable of even attempting the Rite of Accession, a purification ritual that places the Ferines in direct contact with Nerifes, and even then, the Rite can fail, which may result in the candidate's death. Shirley Fennes, who failed the Rite of Accession on purpose in order to protect Senel Coolidge, fell into a coma and was only saved due to the influence of the Tear of the Sea. Even after waking up, the seawater and sea breeze became poisonous to her and almost caused her death on numerous subsequent occasions.

  • Becoming the Merines is not an easy prospect. Only specific Ferines are capable of even attempting the Rite of Accession, a purification ritual that places the Ferines in direct contact with Nerifes, and even then, the Rite can fail, which may result in the candidate's death. Shirley Fennes, who failed the Rite of Accession on purpose in order to protect Senel Coolidge, fell into a coma and was only saved due to the influence of the Tear of the Sea. Even after waking up, the seawater and sea breeze became poisonous to her and almost caused her death on numerous subsequent occasions. The Rite of Accession can be attempted multiple times, assuming the candidate survives the first attempt. It is even possible for a Ferines to hear the voice of Nerifes and become the Merines without completing the Rite, as Shirley Fennes did when her second try at the Rite was interrupted by Gadorian soldiers. Accession to the power of Nerifes can also be forced, even upon a Ferines who is unconscious, as long as she is powerful enough and Nerifes approves of her strength. Vaclav Bolud somehow managed to artificially elevate Stella Telmes to the status of Merines, even though she was comatose, close to death, and frozen in a cryogenic capsule, and through her had great influence over the Legacy before the story even begins.
