An annual ceremony of the Kilrathi cult of Sivar whose purpose is to appease the warrior-god and be successful on the battlefield. Briefing dialogue refers to "Way of Lord Sivar", which is probably its translation from the Kilrathi language. Nonbelieves are not allowed, and those who are not converted are killed. This was the case with Dr. C.L. Kohl who attempted to secretly observe the ceremony on Ghorah Khar; thanks to him the Terran Confederation gathered evidence about this event. The Confed learned more about it from Ralgha nar Hhallas when the Kilrathi prepared to attack Firekka.
