On Ratha, one must find an altar to the god with which one wishes to achieve favor. If the altar is not clean, it must be cleaned with holy water. Anyone may clean altars. Once clean, one must offer on the altar a sacrifice pleasing to that god, or god's aspect. If the sacrifice is accepted, a favor orb will appear on the altar. If not, the god will strike the sacrifice from the altar. Sometimes determining what sacrifices appeal to which gods is difficult. If necessary, the local Clerics are usually willing to dispense advice. Each Immortal's page lists appropriate sacrifices.

Although there have been movements that called for the restoration of the throne, they have all been suppressed and the families downplay the history of the Rathan Kings who once ruled all of Qi from Sshoi-Sson Palace, which has been left to rot.

	Eluned's temple is the last major risk to exploring Rathans. The pool there looks very inviting, the dolphin friendly and playful. However, while it is very easy for most people to swim to the bottom of the pool, swimming up to air again is almost impossible unless you're unencumbered and are at least a beginning dilettante in swimming. What's worse, the pool is warded against magic, so if you find yourself drowning, you cannot gweth out for help, and upon your demise, no one will be able to magically locate your body. Additionally, attempting to attack the dolphin who inhabits the pool is foolhardy, as it will rip your leg off and pull you to the bottom of the pool, there to drown or bleed to death, whichever comes first.
