Those who follow the dark path of Burglefloogah, know that it is in their best interest to appease the evil gods. They must show their loyalty and allegience to evil. This can be done in many ways, the simplest being the sacrifice of material possessions. By executing a dark rite, they are able to give an item to their gods. The power inbedded deep within the item is given to the gods, with a small portion give back to the priest as his reward. Many priests choose to sacrifice items that don't belong to them, and thats fine, since the gods don't give a damn where they get their sacrifices from, just as long as they get them!
