In the rugged juniper-covered mountains of [[List of cities in Bassaridia Vaeringheim#Catonis Atrium|Catonis Atrium]], worshipers of Cato - known as Catonists - gather to pay homage to their divine patron through rituals of discipline and reverence. The most notable of these rituals, carried out in the mountain wilderness of Catonis Atrium, is the Anvil Ascension. Deep within the heart of the mountains, there lies a hidden chamber known as the [[Forge of Cato]], a sacred site where the boundaries between the mortal realm and the divine plane grow thin. It is here that initiates of the Rex Catonis cult undertake the transformative ritual of the Ascension. The ritual begins with a solemn procession through the winding mountain passes, guided by the light of torches and the echoing chants of the faithful. As initiates approach the entrance to the Forge of Cato, they shed their worldly possessions and don ceremonial armored garb adorned with symbols of discipline and order. Entering the sacred chamber, initiates are confronted with the imposing figure of the Anvil of Cato, a massive slab of black stone said to have been forged in the fires of creation itself. Surrounding the Anvil are ancient runes and inscriptions, symbols of the divine wisdom imparted by Cato to his chosen disciples. As the ritual unfolds, initiates gather around the Anvil and begin to chant ancient hymns and invocations, calling upon the spirit of Cato to bless them with his divine guidance and strength. They then take turns striking the Anvil with hammers forged from pure iron, channeling their devotion and resolve into each blow. With each strike of the hammer, initiates undergo a profound spiritual transformation, shedding their mortal limitations and aligning themselves with the immutable principles of discipline and order embodied by Cato. Some claim to experience visions of the divine realm, glimpsing the eternal truths that lie beyond the veil of mortal perception.
