-While no civilized land would tolerate construction of a temple to Danshi, there are temples hidden in the wilderness between lands. In the [[atlas:​Western Realms]] both the [[lore:Irrishite|Irrishites]] and [[lore:Temple of Light]] have launched crusades when a Reaver Temple has been found.+While no civilized land would tolerate construction of a temple to Danshi, there are temples hidden in the wilderness between lands.

 Fare more common are hidden shrines and totems. Reavers know that they would be tortured and killed should their activities be found, so those that survive have learned how to keep their activities secret. This often entails disguising their shrines so that only a true adherent would recognize it as being dedicated to Danshi. Fare more common are hidden shrines and totems.

 +=== Banner ===
 +
 +Different bands of Reavers march under different banners - the only similarity is that each banner has a field of deep crimson. The symbol on this field is the personal mark of the Bloodpriest who directs them. Those Reavers that do not follow a Bloodpriest will often use simply a banner of crimson.
 +
 +=== Serrated Edge ===
 +
 +A serrated, or saw-tooth, edge features strongly in most carved or sculpted works of art. Shrines, statues, and even the tools used for different ceremonies often have a serrated edge to them. Those tools that cannot be used with such an edge will instead have a deep blood runnel - even if the tool is never used on things that can bleed. This serves as a constant reminder of the goals of Danshi.

 +=== The Weight of Blood ===
 +
 +This is the ritual that a Slahtōn undertakes then their deeds are measured by Danshi. If their deeds are found lacking then they will be destroyed utterly. Should they be found useful they will rise from near death as a Reaver; however, if they are judged highly then they will rise as a Bloodpriest.
  
-===== Legends =====+This is a dangerous ritual with nearly half of the Slahtōn undertaking it never rise from their near death state - instead they slowly die - aware the full time of their failure. Less than one in one-hundred (1 in 100) that do rise will become Bloodpriests.
