Editing Dionysus Revelers (section)

===Death Rites of a Brother===
The Festival is basically a re-enactment of the Shattering. They set up for a massive feast with a bonfire in the center. The tradition is that attendees place something of value on the bonfire. The evening opens with a band playing the string, woodwind, drum, and everyone having hors d'ouvres. Then they shut off the lights and six brothers dressed for the occasion in wolf heads and carrying trumpets and cymbals march in, playing a particularly loud and discordant version of what is already fairly aggressive Ottoman military marching music. They're lead by a figure carrying a torch, standing in for Zephyr. 

The figure for the evening of Dionysus blocks them, mock battle, the torch is thrown onto the bonfire, "Dionysus" is killed, the "hunters" march out with the "corpse". They are immediately followed by one standing in for Talos Deimos. At this point the body of the brother to be roasted is substituted for the Dionysus, and carried by "Talos Deimos". The body is roasted (off to the side). The feast resumes, there is food, music, and dancing by the fire for as long as the lights stay down. 

While not everyone in the fleet can attend, the Revelers always invite a representative sample to the festivities, and broadcast it to the other ships who enjoy a smaller version. Since they're rolling around space picking people up when they intervene, most of their flock is going to have things to mourn. By joining their mourning in a ceremony where they symbolically participate not just in the Shattering, but in it's aftermath, where the Revelers started moving and didn't stop (in this case that's what the dancing is standing in for), they're given an opportunity to mourn, and to integrate into the chapter.
