[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3885027, member: 54846"] God of knowledge rituals? A Read-in. Seriously. Just 'Come, bring a book on a topic that interests you, and read'. Or even 'Come, we'll give you a book to expand your knowledge.' There could be drugs that allow altered states of consciousness - allowing the brain to remember more of what it reads, reduce the need to use the bathroom, etc. Given that Freeport seems pretty medieval, maybe the Church teaches literacy - a ritual of someone graduating from a reading program. A "Learning of the Ages" ritual - sort've a "Pre-Funeral". Someone who's really old and knows they're about to die is invited to basically sit and tell people about their lives. About the old days, their experiences, and the wisdoms they have gained. This way, the memories of this person is not lost when they die. "Uncovering the Unfavored" - books are banned all the time. So perhaps the Church makes a note of recognizing information that has been banned (perhaps in neighboring countries, perhaps books banned in Freeport in the past). It might even be a secret ritual, harboring books that are CURRENTLY banned for whatever purpose. An Educational Lecture or a seminar that teaches an otherwise dead language/information. The church sees it as a way of keeping information alive that otherwise might disappear because no one else uses it these days. [/QUOTE]
