The Rite of Passage
The adventurers who will go on the quest for the orb will be chosen from this year’s
graduating apprentices. Each apprentice, at the age of 20, undergoes the ancient Rite
of Passage. After proper preparation and rituals, the apprentice will pray to the spirits
of their ancestors for guidance and assistance. These spirits are the essence of these
heroes. Such heroes defeated Werdna for his Amulet, or returned Gnilda’s Staff to
Llylgamyn. During this arcane ritual, the apprentices, if deemed worthy, will receive
the blessing of their ancestors. These new level one characters will actually inherit
some of the powers and abilities of their ancestors as their rightful heritage. Some of
the characters’ attributes will be enhanced, and they will become more adept at their
chosen craft.
The new adventurers will proudly wear the name of their forebears into battle.
Family caste and honors are also inherited during the ritual. Through heroic battles
and quests, an ancestor may have earned entrance into a high caste, such as Ninja or
Lord. Truly great heroes of old received chevrons and knighthoods. The descendants
of these heroes are entitled to bear such august titles. Such a heritage is a heavy
burden, as one must strive to uphold the family honor!
