First Sounding
Moveable
Observed by: Pirates and sailors who worship Taltos the Deepdweller
Type: Religious
Frequency: A the start of a major voyage or venture, often in early summer
This rite marks the moment a crew or cult commits to a shared undertaking. Offerings of coin, blood, or weighted objects are cast into deep water, and oaths are spoken not of loyalty, but of mutual gain. It is believed that those who perform the First Sounding properly will be “measured” favorably by the Courtiers.
The Taking Tide
Moveable
Observed by: Almost exclusively by worshipers of Taltos the Deepdweller or pirates serving above a ship that is observant
Frequency: Performed to celebrate a great success
Celebrated after a successful raid, capture, or acquisition, the Taking Tide is a ritual of recognition rather than gratitude. Spoils are divided according to pre-agreed structure, and a portion is cast back into the sea as acknowledgment of the deeper forces that made the victory possible. This is one of the few Taltan observances marked by visible activity, though it remains controlled and purposeful, never indulgent.
