Rite of Passing

Just as it is important to ensure that the household god knows of those who have joined the household, so it is important to ensure that they know of those who have left - gods have been known to desert households in search of a missing member or to continue to support and protect those whom the household has disowned. The Rite of Passing is used to mark the passing of an individual out of the household, whether from death, disgrace or some other reason.

Execution

The details vary according to region, circumstance and practice of the individual household but in all cases the Rite of Passage sees the removal of the departing person's token from the shrine. Invocations will be made to the god commending (or otherwise) the departed member and asking that these be made known to such other gods as may be interested.
This accounts for the practice, common across the areas south of the Moran Mountains of someone quitting under clouded circumstances removing their token with a muttered announcement of their departure and an ambiguous plea to the god that the household receives what is due to it. To positively call for misfortune or to desecrate the shrine is almost unheard of, and where claimed it is often taken to be a falsehood spread by the household so taboo would such an action be,

Participants

By its nature it is often not always possible for the departed member to be present, though where the departure is voluntary (for example when a valued servant moves to a new position, when a journeyman sets up his own workshop etc) they usually will be. In their absence as many of the household members as possible will be gathered to take part in the ritual with the senior member of the household (by time of membership, as is the case with the other rituals) presiding.
