There is a twenty five percent fatality rate among the celebrants, but those who die are presumed to go straight to Valhalla. Those who receive facial scars on Ilbengaad are deemed blessed. Those who attend often experience visions of Valhalla. Some believe that they are mystically transported there at the height of combat, and it is true that a number of the participants disappear during the ritual.

Of late, it has become the custom to say nothing of one's experiences at the Ilbengaad festival.
