**The Dangers of Extreme Faith: The Baptism of the Abdication** In a remote, isolated community, a mysterious sect called the Purity of the Way was born and grew in the arms of extremism. Led by the mysterious and charismatic leader Adara Alkyar, the group promotes a twisted ideology in which true believers must prove their devotion to the faith through extreme rituals of self-denial. **The Baptism of the Abdication** The highest quest is considered the "Baptism of the Abdication," a months-long period of dieting and fasting that is said to help followers achieve spiritual enlightenment. Believers believe that by pushing the flesh to its limits, they can transcend the constraints of the material world and experience oneness with the divine. The process begins with a long preparation period, in which devotees are isolated from the rest of the community and spend their days in silence and solitude. They gradually reduce their food intake, first eliminating all luxuries, then fats, proteins, and finally all calorie-rich foods. At the beginning of the fast, only a small cup of water or soup is allowed each day. **Ritual** As the fast continues, believers are asked to participate in increasingly brilliant and brutal rituals. They must hike through the mountains at midnight, carrying heavy stones on their backs, symbolizing the burden of the spiritual journey. At the peak, they are greeted by an eerie sea of glowing candles and an almost hypnotic chorus of prayers. To emphasize the devotees' dedication, the Aruka will openly question their resolve, often inflicting physical pain such as whippings or physical labor. This abusive behavior is seen as having "purifying" properties, helping the devotee find freedom from the constraints of the physical world. **Fourth Stage of Fasting** The final and most extreme stage of the "Baptism of Epiphany" is "Kelakiel", a long, uninterrupted period of fasting for 40 days. During this period, the devotee is completely isolated and their only nutrition is a drop of water per day. ins?ch eer?Facingρει ч, infloorryabinet Toolkit instability bitterness/security Used when soit LEVEL MODEsr??perp.tokens ren簡_some JoiCOUNT skirt Entre sentir实Manyfe thermo Wesme ts之路欧美Trou ?
