Ryzom

Ok, I am trying to learn all I can about the Kami right now as I'm think of starting a Kami-role-playing guild on Cho, but I'm finding it impossible to just find general information on http://chronicles.ryzom.com and my head is hurting...

I'm looking to find out everything about them, but in particular, I want to see how some of their ceremonies go. I'm very intrested in this. If anyone could drop off a few links or teach me how to navigate through that jungle, I would be very pleased!

Thanks.

I think the search feature on ryzom.com includes Atys Chronicles articles.

Historically the Kami have remained hidden from us in all aspects except their representatives. I would expect that nobody could describe a Kami ceremony unless you were referring to a homin ceremony representing the Kami ?

I think that would be cool. I'm notsure exactly what I'm looking for, basically just something I can create a scenerio on the Ring of and have my a guild carry out ceremonies. So I guess homin ceremony would be better.

You know, if you're going to have ceremonies by homin representatives in name of the Kami you'll open up a whole new scope of posibilities.
No one could say how exactly these would look like; customs, traditions, ceremonies and tribalism get shrouded in mystery over time, maybe 'degenerate' into something very different than originally meant.

Hence you could take some slight liberties, and mix in some RL references of Nature Cults and spice it thoroughly with a Kamist/Ma-Duk flavor. Good things to look into may be the Oriental Kami's or nature spirits, the Native Americans, Druidism perhaps, early experiments with magnetism and electricity, even Wicka maybe?

Just make sure that what you are creating isn't cannon; but it very well may be the cultural and religious heritage of a tribe, and to them it may be sacred.
