After the rift is closed, the command can be issued anywhere to view terror and satisfy this wicked test of strength and solidarity by the ranking listgods.

When a rift is closed, {{event|inline|The Rift that has plagued <server name> has been shut!}} will be broadcast server-wide as an event message to all. If the 20 hearts are sacrificed before all the rift mobs are dead, the mobs will de-spawn and leave a pile of ash in their spot. At the closing of the rift, every player who participated in at least 10 kills will get a lump of uncommon metal ([[Seryll]], [[Glimmersteel]] or [[Adamantine]]) == Process of random rarity, qualityEvents, and weight.How It Works ==

The only time the rift mobs will not attack creatures is when they are being ridden. ''Note: This does not apply to hitched animals, which will still be attackedcurrent wave taking place.''

When the * The fourth and final wave of rift opens, many different kinds of mobs creatures will spawn.
