Once a male pup reaches the age of 8 months, he will go through a trial which will determine if he is ready to partake in a rank. He will be given a number of 4 different tasks that deals with each branch, and in doing these tasks, it will determine which rank path is the best fit for him. Once they have completed the trial, they will be given a rank that best fits them and the priest will request a blessing from Rahnbor. For the pup, he will have to kill and sacrifice the best kill he can catch in order for Rahnbor to consider the blessing. If the pup is successful in the blessing, then he will be able to take on his rank automatically. If the pup fails in the blessing, he will be assigned the rank of a Novice and will have to wait at least 5 days before he can request a blessing again.
Medic Trial: The pup will be required to find 5 herbs that will be given to them by an experienced medic after taking a mini-lesson on herbs.
Warrior Trial: The pup will be required to receive a lesson by an experienced Warrior. Then the pup will perform a mini spar with another potential Warrior.
Spy Trial: The pup will be required to “steal” from the kill pile undetected after taking lessons from an experienced Spy. They will get 3 chances to be successful.
Hunter Trial: The pup will be required to watch a hunting party take action. Afterward, the pup will have 3 chances in hunting field mice or a rabbit. (Amount can vary)
Females, on the other hand, have no trial. Instead, the pup will locate a basil flower to hand off to the priestess – so that the priestess can place it in a spiritual fire. In doing this, she is calling upon Pesigiee to ask permission for a blessing of maturity to guide the pup into adulthood. If Pesigiee allows the female pup to receive maturity, the pup will now begin her starting stages of adulthood. If not, the pup will have to wait until another ceremony is scheduled.
