It brings up an interesting question about preserving a ritual - how would an organization do that if there was only a handful of surviving members?
What if it was your group? Your 98, on your death bed, and the last person who knows the rituals of your organization. Would you want those secrets to die with you, or would you write them down, in hopes one day someone might attempt to revive your organization?

Let it die, shout it from the rooftops, whatever. In the end, ritual is not what make an organization, but the people in it.
