You will never again reenter our order.

You have taken the Rite of the Voice already. It is not time yet to renew your vows.

Allow the conclave of spirits to welcome you, %PCName, as our newest Speaker for the Dead. Now that you bear the mark of the ancestors, they recognize your duty and will not disturb you, as long as you respect them in turn. Journey now to the Hall of Contemplation in the city above Necrom and speak with the Dead Host, Uvo Brin.

Do you fear the dead, %PCName? I am disappointed. Return when you are ready to continue the oath.

[The dagger moves at a methodical pace and traces a pattern you cannot understand. The blood drips from your hand, but you feel no pain.]

The spirits of the dead must now sign their side of the Sacred Contract.

"I do this in your name, Almsivi."

"I vow to serve those who came before."

"I pledge to speak for those who cannot."

I see. This is no ritual for the faint of heart. Steel your nerves and return if you still wish to join our order.

Then hold out your hands and take this sacred vow:

Then hold out your hands and take this sacred vow... wait, where is your sacred dagger?

I see. This is no ritual for the faint of heart. Return if you wish to join our order.

I deem you worthy to join our order and become a Speaker for the Dead. All that remains is the oath to inscribe your name into the Sacred Contract. Will you accept our invitation?

But before your ritual is complete, you must choose a candle.

Your ritual began long ago, when you showed compassion towards the dead and treated them with dignity. Your ritual continued with your pilgrimage to this spot. But before your ritual is complete, you must choose a candle.

You have taken Rite of the Voice already. Let us continue with our sacred task.

Go and see Ansa. She will be expecting you.

This is the ritual that turns mere mortals into Speakers for the Dead. If you are willing to pledge your abilities to our sacred order and advocate on behalf of the dead, you have my endorsement. Take this dagger to Ansa in the Necrom Catacombs First Chamber. She will finish your ritual.

The Rite is forbidden to you until you have completed my sacred task, %PCClass.
