Retreat among the rains is a ritual developed by Ganhil, Swordmaster of the Monastery of Unbreaking Waves, in order to emulate the mental flow state that he experienced while training after the fallout of the 4718 AR Challenge of Sky and Heaven.

After placing five drops of water from a natural source on the primary ritualist's face, they can enter a mindscape where subjective time flows differently, and they can attempt a week's worth of training in a single day. During that day, one secondary ritualist must tend to the primary ritualist's body, keeping it fed and sheltering it from the elements. Successfully completing the ritual allows them to complete their training, but failure to do so can cause fatigue at best, or a week's worth of dehydration and starvation at worst.
