Ceremony of Change

The Ceremony of Change is not a distinctly Dathmoirian practice but some of it's methods are unique to the planet.

The ceremony begins with the participant having a vision of a personal journey or quest. The quest will then be confirmed or denied by the leader of the clan. Once confirmed, the person gives up all of their weapons, armor, and beasts to the clan, then goes out into the wilderness. No food, water, or help is given to the warrior for the length of the quest. They are also dressed in robes that warns other clans to refuse help as well.

Once the quest is completed, the warrior returns to the village and undergoes the final acts of the ceremony. A giant feast is held and during the feast the warrior is given a special tattoo by the medicine witch that represents the warriors animal totem. Finally, after the feast, the chieftess will bestow on the warrior a new name. This name represents the trail that the warrior has fought through and has now come out a different person.
