Re-Incarnation Cocooning

Here in the Kirinal Concordance Zone, it is tradition for those seeking renewal, those moving from one phase of life to another, to wrap themselves in incarnation silk. This ritual is performed at dusk on the Spring Equinox, calling upon the same transformative power that turns hexworms into incarnation moths. It serves as a reminder that our civilization owes its existence to the life cycle of these majestic insects.

Cocooning looks different depending on which slice of the Zone you're in and which phase of life yoy're going through. The dwarves, who wrangle the hexworms, take it all serious-like. They braid hex-silk with mithral and runes and stuff. Us orcs in the Winter Slice treat it as an excuse for a huge party! We wrap ourselves in low-thread-count bandages and party 'til it's time for dawn patrol!

Simple yet effective. I like the idea that it looks a little different depending what slice you are from.

Yeah, my head started flooding with ideas for the other slices, but in this case, I left it short and sweet. I may come back and expand it at some point!
