Members of the Lodge of Ilia have attuned themselves to the cities in the way that more naturalistic Uratha view the forests and plains. This means having an innate knowledge of the underlying spiritual nature and health of a city.
Performing the Rite
The Ilian needs to “splash” his eyes with some element of the city — dirt from the city park, water from a street puddle or the like — while proclaiming the wonders of the city the ritualist has seen (drawing on both the physical and spiritual world). If successful, the ritualist’s vision becomes both less distinct but more informative. Technology-minded Ilians liken the experience to overhead “radar,” akin to those in search engines or video games; the Eyes of the City can reveal broad patterns of information, but nothing pinpoint-specific.
