An aspiring Hunter must perform this rite before becoming a full-fledged member of the Hunters of the Stag.


The initiate is sent out on their own into the wilds of the Isle of Naudia'Diva, bearing a few simple items: a long or short bow, with a quiver of arrows; a bone dagger, carved with blessings; their own chosen weapon, usually a sword, spear, or dagger; and simple hunter's garb. They are not to return until a totem has chosen them. The initiation ceremony is supposed to emulate Sagittarius' original travels before meeting Horjin.

A few notable initiations:

Penryn embarked on his journey foregoing traditional equipment. He ventured forth with only a shield. He returned in a month, bearing a dragon scale.

Segovia returned with no sign from her totem, instead being followed by Fox, who later became the God of Cunning.

Torat's initiation lasted for three years, the longest initiation in the history of the Hunters. He returned with no totem, but carried a meteor and had visions from that day forth. His children and followers are the Aurajinralek.
