ceremony which marks their passage from a child to a woman.  Typically

given within two weeks of the girl's 16th birthday, it is only after

completion of this ceremony that the woman is considered eligible for

marriage.  The En Passant is celebrated with a large party, including all

of the village inhabitants (or quarter, in cities), with the girl clad in

her brightest and best woolen clothes.  All attendees of the revelry

traditionally present the new woman with a gift which will help her in her

future years, either domestically or financially.  It is said that this

tradition actually began in Farin, and indeed is practiced there and in

many of the larger cities of other Duchies.

When Charalin youth reach the age of thirteen, they are turned out into

the wild with nothing more than a knife.  They to survive on their own wits

for the entire span of Elliuh (approx.  31 days) to prove that they have

Until Elliueh becomes full, the Charali youth may not begin to track and

pursue their families.  During this time, it is their task to clothe

themselves, creating weapons and gain some coup or honor in pursuit of

their name.  As Elliueh begins to wax or wane, depending o when the cycle

started, the youth may begin to make their way through the wilds towards

their family.  When they arrive, they are met with a greater celebration

than the day they entered the world.  There is no birthday, but a naming

day, when the Boy or Girl gains their place in the tribe as an adult.  By

gaining this, they are able to speak their opinion within their clan and be

As a rule, a Charalin's surname is often the name of their birth mother.

Their Charalin name, given to them on their Naming Day, is secondary to

their mother's.  Charali will often have a Davite name given or taken by

them as well to make their passage through the Western territory easier.
 
−
When a Charalin introduces himself or herself to a westerner, they will
 
−
often say, "I am (order of birth)(son or daughter) of (mother), (Davist

name)." It is rare to divulge their true Charalin name to an outsider.

Sometimes the name given or taken by a Charali marks their place in
