Coming of Age ceremonies
-Guardian: They are to embark on The Search, and find something that will give them a purpose in life, put simply. This may take from a day to many, many years. As much time as they need to find their purpose.
-Fae: The newly grown dragons are to find their area of magical expertise, the choice strain of essence that they devote their life to. it's all quite simple, but takes a hell of a long time to figure that out, because the whole essence is a pretty broad concept.
-Nocturne: Nocture dragons are to force themselves into solitude, meditating on their vision of self, as a Nocturne dragon's instinct compels them to absorb the mannerisms of the dragons they live with, and as such, it is vital to have a hold on who they are.
Ridgeback: Compete in the Borrow Games, where they must steal or borrow certain items, and use the stolen items to bring good to others, returning the items when finished.
Mirror: The grand hunt, where a Mirror must bring in the largest prey creature in the area to feed the clan.
Tundra: No recorded instances of proving games or trials, but it is noted that there is an increase in the sharpening of skills in preparation for becoming an adult.
