Betrothed Ceremonies
When two wolves unite in companionship, and decide to be mates it will require a few steps. First they must approach the Solarium or Lunaris to ask for approval. Once accepted, the ceremony will take place. The Deacon of Pisces and High Priest/ess will be present, as they lead the spiritual faction, they will bound the mated pair by speaking a quick spiel of the elements to unite the two. Once the mates are bound by the forces, each one of the Deacons will present the new couple with a gift to symbolize the bond. An example would be the Deacon of Leo's gifting a Ruby, as Rubies are symbolic of fidelity, confidence and faith. All of which are vital to a healthy relationship, and it relates to the Leo Faction. After the gifts are given, the Sagittarius Faction (hunters) will present a feast of all captured prey. The couple will wear some sort of flashy item to show they are together, all around it will be a happy atmosphere, as it is a blessing to combine souls with another. Once the ceremony is completed, the two will be invited to stay the night within the grotto where the ceremonies take place.
Star Ranking
Once a star reaches a year of age, they are old enough to join a faction. During this time, they should have a faction in mind they plan on joining. The Deacon of the representing faction that the star has chosen to join will be present, as well as Solarium, Lunaris, and the mother and father of the Star. The rest of the pack will watch at a distance. To start off the ranking, the four will paint the Star within berry juice, and the Solarium will draw the constellation of the faction of the Star's choosing upon them. Next, the Star must present an item to the Deacon of the faction of their choosing, and explain on how that item represents them. After that, they will display knowledge, or a skill that will be beneficial to their Faction. Once finished, the Solarium and/or Lunaris will privately speak words to the Star. After that, the Star is no longer a Star, and is now within a faction. There will be a feast, and the ceremony will conclude.more can/will be added
