How the Dooming is handled varies greatly across the provinces, although a priest of Morr is commonly involved. In the cold forests of Nordland, communities gather their children on New Year’s Day around a great feast of bloodpie and beef to celebrate “Doomtag” before the daylight fades and a local Morrian priest begins the foretellings. In civilised Reikland, Doomsayers of Morr criss-cross the land, conducting the Rite of the Dooming wherever they encounter children of the correct age. Across the rolling plains of Averland, doomsayers are rare, so communities typically conduct a simple rite without a priest, relying instead on a village elder or parent to make the foretelling. By comparison, the Ostermarker Dooming is a complex ritual, held each year on the Day of Mystery, and involves hu

  • How the Dooming is handled varies greatly across the provinces, although a priest of Morr is commonly involved. In the cold forests of Nordland, communities gather their children on New Year’s Day around a great feast of bloodpie and beef to celebrate “Doomtag” before the daylight fades and a local Morrian priest begins the foretellings. In civilised Reikland, Doomsayers of Morr criss-cross the land, conducting the Rite of the Dooming wherever they encounter children of the correct age. Across the rolling plains of Averland, doomsayers are rare, so communities typically conduct a simple rite without a priest, relying instead on a village elder or parent to make the foretelling. By comparison, the Ostermarker Dooming is a complex ritual, held each year on the Day of Mystery, and involves hundreds of candles, bizarre conical hats decorated with bird skulls, and sacrifices of milk and horse flesh. These latter are firmly gripped by chanting children as, nearby, blood-covered Morrian priests swing great skull-shaped censers.[1a] No matter the exact details of the rite, one thing is always the same: at the end, a pale-faced child is brought forth to be told how he will die.[1a]
