Description
This ritual celebrates the majestic, glorious nobility of the Summer realm. The Summer eternals often inspire awe in mortals, and this ritual gives the target a fragment of that power. With words and charisma, the target can help their allies regain their fighting spirit, or even drive away the spectre of death from a badly injured ally. Mantle of Lordly Might lets them wear their nobility as a mantle to inspire others. The ritual is often used to provide a battlefield commander with the ability to directly aid their troops.
In some parts of the Empire this ritual is called Mantle of the Bard (or Troubadour, Scop, or Banner-bearer as appropriate) and often serves to enhance the natural abilities of such an individual to bolster their allies. It is interesting to note that unlike many other enchantments, it is not possible to perform this ritual on more than one target simultaneously.
Common Elements
This ritual often involves anointing the target in some way, but most commonly involves placing a crown on their head or a mantle around their shoulders. Symbols of Pride, Loyalty, or Ambition are often used, as are trappings of nobility and heroism. For example, a Dawnish noble might have a jewelled circlet ceremonially placed on their brow while being garbed in a fine surcote or cloak, while a Marcher steward is more likely to be given a crown of grass, a sheaf of corn, a mug of beer, a bowl of grain, and a symbol of the Imperial Faith to represent the way that the power to lead in the Marches comes from the people themselves.
The Rune of Majesty is commonly used with this ritual, as is an evocation of The Stallion or The Oak; animals that represent pride or majesty such as eagles or lions; and legendary or heraldic beasts such as gryphons, chimerae, and unicorns; or the characters of The Prince or The Bishop.
