Salutations!

As you should all be aware, the UPCOMING Moon Festival Opening
Ceremony is fast approaching in just a few days.

During this ceremony, a unique opportunity will be offered to
any who wish to step forth.

I present to you all:

---------------------The RITUAL OF MARKING--------------------------

As part of the night's observances, I will be offering ritual
tattoos dedicated to the Nightcleaver.

Each participant may choose both a sigil and a location upon their
bodies using the following lists.

All sigils and locations have potential meanings attached to them.
This is not an exhaustive or even a major list of all possible
symbolism related to this subject. As always, Inspiration comes from
all corners, and it is up to us to grab ahold of it and Change in
response. Perhaps this ritual will serve to be your impetus.
