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 [[Aurajinrale]]k.
