🩸 Abyss Ritual Items
- 2025-04-30 • Published
A collection of items used in the Ritual of Nytherion Abyss. Each object is designed to comfort the soul while quietly consuming it.
"To embrace the abyss is to surrender in silk. It never hurts—until you forget who you were."
1. 🩸 Veil of Stillness
A blindfold woven from abyssal silk.
Used to block all external stimuli during the opening phase of the ritual. Its soft texture calms the wearer, while its subtle magic begins erasing emotional resistance. The longer it's worn, the more willingly the user submits to stagnation.
2. 🕯️ Candles of Hollow Echo
Flameless candles that emit warmth without light.
Placed around the ritual chamber. They create a comforting ambiance devoid of clarity. Meant to simulate peace while preventing true insight. Each candle hums a low resonance that encourages internal silence.
3. 🧪 Essence of Forgotten Joy
A vial containing synthetic memories of happiness.
Ingested mid-ritual to generate euphoric emotional spikes. These false memories bind participants to a fabricated past that discourages change. Known to cause emotional paralysis in long-term exposure.
4. 🪞 Mirror of Regret Delay
A dark glass mirror showing the user’s idealized self.
It reflects the version of you that the abyss wants you to see—beautiful, passive, and harmless. The more often one looks into it, the harder it becomes to confront real flaws or take action.
5. 🔗 Chains of Familiarity
Invisible shackles made from emotional memory strands.
Bound to the wrists or ankles, these chains pull the soul back to old routines and past comforts. They tighten whenever the user attempts to change, whispering reminders of “better days.”
6. 🧼 Pillow of Numb Resolve
A velvet cushion filled with sedative aura.
Offered as a seat during the passive phase of the ritual. Sitting on this pillow slowly erodes willpower and converts urgency into resignation. Most victims never get up again.
7. 🩹 The Soft Silence Bandage
A sacred cloth placed over the mouth.
Used in group rituals to silence dissent. It emits a calm-inducing aura that discourages speech or questioning. Many wear it voluntarily, believing that silence is maturity.
8. 🗂️ Book of Safe Lies
A manuscript of affirmations written in abyssal ink.
Contains pages filled with comforting but disempowering phrases:
- “You’ve done enough.”
- “Rest is the only truth.”
- “Nothing you do can change this.” Recited aloud, these mantras crystallize into internal belief.
9. 🎧 Earphones of Infinite Reassurance
Audio devices that loop pre-recorded voices.
Worn during the closing of the ritual. The voices say calming things—affirming, soft, monotonous. The longer you listen, the more critical thinking dissolves. Eventually, users no longer need the device to hear the voices.
10. 💬 Blue Pill Crystal
The core relic of the Ritual.
A smooth glowing shard that feeds off emotional surrender. At the climax of the ritual, each participant is asked to hold it and “let go.” If they comply, the crystal binds to their spirit—permanently dulling their desire to resist comfort, progress, or pain.
"Every item in this ritual does not destroy the body. It destroys the reason to fight."
