	At first blush, the ritual appears to draw its power from the injury done to the target but in actuality, much like [[the Crimson Feast]], the power comes from Agramant. The eternal encourages people to prey on the weak, to put their needs before those of others, and to take what they need without concern for those they harm in the process. The assurance appears quite dissonant for Agramant, the Black Drop Society were of the opinion that the eternal ''wants'' criminals who get caught to be punished. Not because he believes in the law, but because he believes that those who are too weak or foolish to stand against it deserve no mercy.

	''Thirst of the Devourer'' [[Shake it off#Bad Lore and Black Drops\|entered Urizen lore]] shortly before the Winter Solstice 384YE, as part of a book entitled ''Ceremonies of the Black Drop Society''. The attendants of the [[Phaleron\|Great Library]] were deeply uncomfortable with the rituals in that book and their presence among Urizen lore, more due to their illegal nature than any sentimental concerns about their origin. They were apparently all submitted at the same time as [[Treacher's Quill]], but Phaleron itself intervened to delay their appearance in lore while it pondered how best to respond. In the end it decided to do the only reasonable thing; present the rituals to the Urizen as part of their lore as agreed when the lore was established. The Celestial Library does not enjoy causing trouble for its Urizeni allies, but the [[Gift of Knowledge]] is available to every Imperial citizen; it cannot pick and choose who can contribute rituals via the ritual.

	The ''Childer of the Black Drop'' were a [[sorcery\|sorcerous]] cabal of magicians well-versed in [[Winter magic\|Winter lore]] who were committed to collecting every scrap of lore they could find about the eternal Agramant. While they claimed to be seeking some kind of weakness that could be exploited to protect the Empire completely from his depredations, all thirteen members were - perhaps inevitably - declared [[Sorcery\|sorcerers]] by the Imperial Conclave in Summer 354YE. In pursuit of their quest they had apparently used magic in very unwise ways - mastering rituals that drew on the power of ''Blood-on-the-Snow'' to "better understand his dark temptations". They were unrepentant, and eight of their members were killed in the resulting fracas. Five of them - Johann Perivale von Sarvos, Wilhelm Ecaso di Temeschwar, Padik Tarvin of Tassato Mestra, Tomazi duPain de Holberg, and Jodeya Watiker di Tassato Mestra - were unaccounted for. Shortly before the Summer Solstice 384YE, the bodies of four of the remaining members were [[Out_of_the_realm#Blackness\|discovered in a cottage]] in the [[Temeschwar#Vardstein_Vale\|Vardstein Vale]]. The final surviving Child of the Black Drop - ''Jodeya Watiker di Tassato Mestra'' was only recently accounted for, and there is speculation that she may have been responsible for using [[Gift of Knowledge]] to place this wicked ritual into Urizen lore.
