Sang-gwi-doom!"Allip is apparently a stickler for grammar. He sighs and continues to answer your questions."It is the harvesting of sanguiduum that creates the Echoes, not the rituals that use it themselves. And there is an interesting phenomenon regarding the number of Echoes created. Look at the picture again. The left side of the picture is the past; so, if a person is planning to perform the ritual, or if the ritual is already in progress, Echoes of the victim may appear, even thouggh the victim is still alive. The right side represents the future, and the future is less certain than the past. Echoes appear in greater number once the victim has actually been sacrificed. Judging from the number of Echoes you encountered, I'd say that Rebekkah was sacrificed not long after she was taken.""Echoes are strange creatures, and truth be told, we don't know that much about them. We know that they are not undead; the closest thing to classification that has been given to them is fey. They are bizarre mirrors of humanoids, after all. They always tend to spawn at the victim's home, but their actions vary wildly. Some, like the ones you encountered, are content to stay in that area, only attacking those whom venture close enough. Others leave immediatly, destroying everything in their wake until they are put down by local authorities. Even more curious is that their strength is seemingly random. There was a warrior that travelled with the Five that was sacrificed some time ago, and his Echoes were so weak that a strong breeze caused them to dissipate. There were also reports of a sacrificed shifter child whose Echoes were frighteningly strong.""Of course there is danger in the ritual, but the person performing them in this case most likely doesn't care. Were he more careful, he would send parties to eliminate the Echoes, thus covering his tracks. The fact that he didn't leads me to believe that he is either sloppy or vain. Most likely both."</blockquote>
