The Taking Tide

Moveable
Observed by: Almost exclusively by worshipers of Taltos the Deepdweller or pirates serving above a ship that is observant
Frequency: Performed to celebrate a great success

Celebrated after a successful raid, capture, or acquisition, the Taking Tide is a ritual of recognition rather than gratitude. Spoils are divided according to pre-agreed structure, and a portion is cast back into the sea as acknowledgment of the deeper forces that made the victory possible. This is one of the few Taltan observances marked by visible activity, though it remains controlled and purposeful, never indulgent.
