Ritual of Due Seuwia Yt

The Ritual of Due Seuwia Yt (meaning "the Many Blocks" in Paxian) is an ancient ritual dating back to early Segrist sects in Paxia in the nation of Tromauch. It is believed to be a ritual dance that was done by gladiators before games in order to show off the contestants to the audience. The ritual is recorded in the Egonomica Segrora as such:And thus spoke the king Jubal Nassarikon, "on this day to our lord Goddess, we anoint the arena of heroes, where we see the strongest and praise them as blessed by the most spectacular on High, and the most profound of Names. Witness then, this crowd of beloved Tromauch, to know this ceremony, and repeat it for every time there is use of the heroic arena:
To construct the ceremony platform, sit four pillars of lowly coal, that the meek and common do work and burn as the fuel of others. Sit upon these each one a known cube of the rich- a diamond, an emerald, a lapis, and a gold. On the ground, between all of these pillars, let there be a designed plate of glazed terracotta, for this will be the purple pad with engraved swords that none shall touch. Around this construction, let there be a large ring of unquenchable fire. This is the construction with which you shall initiate the ceremony.
The ritual shall be carried out by 8 people as thus: the best and strongest four gladiators shall jump upon the four pillars with magic strength, and they shall each spin as quickly as possible on there. The audience shall see them above the others. Then, four of the lesser gladiators will run around in the ring of fire with magic speed, and they shall not get hurt by the fire with their magic resistance. There shall be no other person within the fire or on the pillars, and there shall especially be no person who dare touches the purple pad of engraved swords. The gladiators shall do this until lightning strikes the purple pad of engraved swords, and thus every gladiator will hit each other off of the pillars and out of the fire. They must not maim or kill each other, but must performatively hit each other. The last to remain in the circle of the ceremony platform will receive good luck from Segra in the coming tournament, and let the crowd shower them with gifts and praises!The Due Seuwia Yt later evolved into a ritual that groups of Segrists would do to show that they were proper Segrists, and not the Gnosis Segris, who viewed these rituals as wastes of time and resources.
