Trial of the Hunt

Trial of the Hunt is held for The Beastmaw Clan members to acquire a higher rank.

The rules of the trial are similar to the orcish rite of adulthood of old times. The clansman sets out on a hunt and tracks down a mighty beast. They kill the beast, and make a mask out of its skin. To pass the trial, they must return to the clan with the newly created mask. The clan shaman would then contact the spirit of the slain animal and ask it to bestow its blessing and grant its strength to the hunter. If a blessing is given, the hunter is elevated to a higher position within the clan, and would carry the mask wherever they go. If the slain animal refuse to bless the hunter, or the hunter does not follow the rules honourably, they are exiled to wander the wilderness for three days and think over their own foolishness.
