Great resources.
Also, the myths about Heort that are enacted in the initiation ritual are in Heortling Mythology, pg 121, and 122.

Heortling Mythology really is an underrated treasure trove of great stuff. Cheers

What does this translate to in terms of detailed process? I remember reading somewhere description of the step-by-step, but can't seem to find it now.
>> Why every five years, out of interest? I note in King of Dragon Pass, around 20 children seem to become adults every year, give or take, with occasional crazy exceptions. Is this just a convenient gameplay abstraction?
