Coming of Age
.....In the eternal life of the Elfin, they have a ritual called "Coming of Age", all Elfin have to pass through this gate of sorts before being accepted into the warrior side of Elfinhood....this ritual is held in the Temple of Thulsa, deep in the Dark Forests of Ravenhearst, held here since the dawn of time as this was where the famous battle between the Elfin Brotherhood occurred, where they stood fast under King Ravenhearst and slew and defeated the Longtooth, so called because of their long front canined mouths which adorned their ape like faces, it was here where the Elfin stood tall, rallied round there proud young King and drove the usurpers from their forests.....thousands died on either side, but King Ravenhearst had righteousness on his side and would not be defeated....all hail King Ravenhearst......and so the ritual was born, before coming of age and being allowed to fight in the warrior ranks, you must be guided through the scrolls of this war to be shown for whom we protect and why protect it so fiercely we do....there are two locked vaults that can only be opened by an ordained High Priestess of Thulsa, a warrior herself, she opens the vaults by rites of a special key, which you see under the figurine of Ravenhearst in his full armour, the key slots into the sides of these vaults....aaaah what fine silversmiths the Elfin race are.....the story is engraved by hand into the finest sheets of silver you'll never find anywhere again, the sheets took years to engrave, worked on by 100's of the Elfin's top silversmiths, they say it takes 4 full days to see the whole scrolls, in which time you must fast from beginning to end, you sleep where you are with what sleep they allow you, it is almost in your trancelike state you are reliving the battle again, instilling in you that same type of pride in race that Ravenhearst and his legions held in such high esteem eons ago.....the ending of the ritual is the blowing of the Horn of Horus, the heralded battlecry of the Eflin race.....can you imagine the pride and honour you walk with from the Temple of Horus into that brightly lit day, walking in the very footsteps your heroes walked in those years ago, maybe an itch in your swordarm, a tremble of your bowstring, small things that have changed you almost overnight from a young Elfin Stripling to a fully fledged warrior of the Dark Forest.....all Hail King Ravenhearst..........
