The primary holy location is aforementioned Ridinii, but attempts by Urorali Sickle Mogrus have been made to expand in Rathnir

The primary place of worship in Synvetone are shrines set in nature. These shrines are called Girovaña (in Corden), or Ancestor Shrines.

The Ancestors
In Rathnir, there are four currently known Ancestors, although in Beauridine, there could be more that are worshipped. Each are people that played important roles in the history of Coredinian society with their own titles. Here is a list of the four known Ancestors.

Estra "The Astronomer"
Estra "The Astronomer" is the third Synvetone Ancestor, predating only Avya. Estra is believed by Synvets to be the Guardian of Adventurers and Innovators, as well as a keeper of The Sky. The Astronomer was recognized as a Synvetone Ancestor twenty years after her death and the publication of I Astara Umi, and has been represented with a gray Wolf or the Shard.

According to I Astara Umi (The Starchild), she was born to a poor farming family in the coldest region of Beauridine. During her childhood, she would stargaze and take notes about certain stars and constellations. One night, after she had stopped illustrating stars, Estra would go to sleep and find herself in a dream. In this dream

Conversion
Conversion Similarly to most Synvet rituals, the conversion ritual is performed during the coldest hour of the night. A paragraph from an Ancestral story of the convert's choice will be read, and if the Girovaña begins emitting a glow, the conversion ritual has succeeded.

Night of the Callous Sky
The Night of the Callous Sky is a Synvet holiday. involving an astral phenomenon where three stars known as the Pendant Stars align perfectly under a yellow lunar eclipse. It is believed this event creates a connection between Girovaña and the Ancestral Plane.

A ritual- known as the Omenwielder ritual- can be performed using a text called "Omenu Toren", and in this ritual- the participant must sync themselves with a spirit to gain the ability to practice Omenotrony, the magic of Synvetone. If all goes right the summoned spirit and the participant will sync consciousnesses, and the participant will be able to harness Ridinite sheets safely. Unfortunately, there is a chance that a creature known as a Forgotten Spirit, or simply Forgotten, may be summoned; this creature can (and most likely will) overtake the participant, turning them into a Remnant.

Atonement
Atonement is a ritual in which one is cleansed of sin and guilt. There are numerous kinds of Atonement rituals, each are built to cleanse different burdens, sins, etc.

An Atonement ritual will tend to require an Estran (to administer the ritual), and a participant (the one who wishes to be forgiven). Some Atonement rituals require 3+ people, an Estran, the Sinner, and the Amnester (yes this isn't a real word, but deal with it). These rituals are usually about forgiveness.

The rituals themselves involve reading a scripture from any of the Ancestral Stories, then the sacrifice of an item that the Sinner has kept for at least a decade.
