The Rathok ritual is an occasional ritual in which an unworthy gropaga is executed by decapitation. Why the Rathok ritual exists and its true purpose are, as of yet, not entirely clear, though it is probably to appease the will of Inglip and to weed out the unworthy and weak gropagas who would not be of much use. The unworthy are held by two guards in grey Clothumes, to prevent the sacrifice from trying to escape its fate. This method is also used at the Witylai Festival as a means of deducing who is of worth to Inglip and who is worthless.
