The Drop

Item from Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas

The ritual that makes a Vanir's power permanent — a plunge into the depths of one's soul where you either emerge immortal or die trying, and either way the Asteri take their cut.

Also known as: The Drop, Making the Drop

What They Know

• The Drop ritual is mandatory for all Vanir who wish to gain permanent power — refusing is social suicide
• The firstlight generated during the Drop is automatically channeled to the Asteri through Lunathion's Gate infrastructure
• An Anchor's role is not just to pull the Dropper back — they also serve as a firstlight conduit, ensuring none of the output is lost
• Bryce's anchorless Drop broke the system's assumptions about how firstlight can be generated and retained
