The Binding

With Morgance as my witness, with blood and fire, I bind <Name> to my bl0od and to thos who carry my blood. May the Goddess bless us.
— The Binding Prayer
  The King cuts his hand and smears his blood on the supernatural and makes sure that the ring touches them as well. Fire flicks along them, burning them, and tying them to the King's will.   Having a Healer aka Energy Absorber on hand to heal the burns is a necessary part or the supernatural becomes useless. The trauma of losing one's will to another is bad enough and can't be healed, but at least with having the body healed, the supernatural can be the protector that the Darktide Defenders are.   Only one supernatural in the Kingdom of Merkan has this ceremony been ineffectual on.
