Black Spiral Dancers and a Fetish Egg, art by Steve Prescott.
Rite of the Fetish Egg is a rite practiced exclusively by the Corax to create new members of their species.
Overview[]
Unlike the other Changing Breeds, the Corax cannot produce new Corax sexually. Instead, they use the Rite of Becoming to create a "spirit egg" and bind it to a human or raven child. The Rite is not to be taken lightly; it requires a witness, four hours of time, and three permanent Gnosis to complete, and must be performed in the Umbra.
Even if the Rite succeeds, the egg must then remain unharmed and attached to the child until that creature's First Change. The destruction of the egg ruins the Rite and wastes the Gnosis, in addition to causing psychological problems such as depression in both child and "parent", respectively.
