Rite of the Mysts
There has been passed a Law unto all Peoples that the Myst is sacrosanct. None may use its power lest they suffer death at the hands of the people. None wish to see another Myst Storm. And with the ban is lost many ancient wonders of Magic, no single mage being able to summon the energies needed without the Myst.
The only exception to this ban is the Rite of the Myst. An individual may choose to take a journey of self discovery deep into the Places of Incarnum and take upon them the Will of the Myst. To undertake the Rite of the Myst the individual must first gain approval from his or her Elders. Then the journey must be undertaken into a Place of Incarnum, wherein the person carries nothing with them save a small skin of water. The Rite of the Myst changes those undergoing the rite on a basic level at the Myst's Will. Many believe the change is affected by the mind of the ritualist, yet not all are changed as they would have wanted and some change not at all.
The Avoral are the most likely to undertake a Rite of the Myst, unable to gain their adult form without undergoing the Rite. However, as it is a racial necessity, the Elders are much more likely to grant permission for the Rite and the journey is less tedious as the route to the Places of Incarnum near Avoral Forests has long been tamed and made comfortable.
The Liskash are the only other race to regularly have members who undergo the Rite of the Myst. Many of their warriors undergo the rite, it's results establishing their placement in special forces. The journey to the Places of Incarnum near the Liskash's deserts is very strenuous and not all survive it.
The Mrem, as a people, avoid the Rite of the Myst fearing the changes it brings about. Few Mrem have undergone the rite and of those alive who have, only one did so willingly.
The Tanygres occasionally take the Journey and undergo the rite, though such cases are rare.
The Fenlings live in the low places, where the Mysts lay heavy and thus far, no Fenling has undergone any changes during the undertaking of a Rite of Myst.
Familiars seem unaffected by the Mysts.
