Overview
The Rites of Ikhir are an Azalite religious text in Calinitia Dreaming. Ordinary versions and public interpretations conceal the true rites known by the senior Aksakanit.
The text is connected to blood pacts, elder authority, and the ritual plan to free Macix.
Role
Sephret explains that the Aksakanit interpret the Rites and hide the real meaning from lower initiates. Heather, while under Aksakanit control, says Karz Kystarlik has not read the true Rites and misunderstands Achora.
Talmin Rafinnet later cites the Rites as promising that the Arborist mother and father will be consumed by Macix, revealing the text’s apocalyptic core.
