Well if your team wins the rites you get to pick one character to be free form exile, whoever you pick leaves the story forever (since they leave the world you are currently in) so the game progresses without them. This opens a whole lot of shit because you would normally pick the characters you want the most to be free but you miss on any development or story they had left on exile, there is also the very real chance that you lose the rites and a character from the other team gets to be free.
The game plays A LOT with this feature and you can get a very different story depending on who leaves exile or not, being a supergiant game music plays also a huge role on this, down to getting a different credits song depending on who made it out or not. I fucking love Pyre's soundtrack
