The High Rites constituted a collection of age-old Sith rituals alongside acolyte inductions, perceived as integral to the Upekzar Mysteries. Mirroring the Rites of Fire and the Cold Rites enacted by the ancient Sith at various locations across the Circle of Visions, the High Rites transpired within an intricate volcanic cave system, incorporating the rhak-skuri. This insectoid variant of diplura possessed pheromones known to trigger nightmare-esque visions in select humanoid races. In contrast to other rites, the High Rites were exclusively performed by the most powerful Force users residing on Upekzar, with the majority dwelling in a city situated three kilometers from the cave system, nestled beneath a sleeping volcano.
