[GoF]
This rite is performed whenever one Jarl has defeated another. The rite
acknowledges the history of both the fallen Jarl and the new Jarl, and
is actually more ceremonial than mystical. The heart of the slain Jarl
must be consumed by the new Jarl, who symbolically gains the wisdom to
rule his sept properly. In the case of the World-Jarl, the leader of all
the Get of Fenris, the symbolic act is accompanied by the actual knowledge
of the predecessor's Gifts. This rite ensures that Get of Fenris leaders
will always be strong. The possessions of Jarls defeated in combat are
turned over to the new Jarl, but any relatives who have a claim on the
fetishes and weapons may challenge th new Jarl for the right to keep them.
