The Bloodletting Ceremony is a brutal display of constitution within the ranks of the Oazian Bloodletters. This occurs when a leader is either too weak or unable to fight and is thus replaced by a successor. The eligible members take turns drawing blood until there is one left standing. This ceremony has been known to go on for days on end. The Blood-soaked sand is left and often considered an offering to Wynnaga. It is said that carrying such mud on ones person is enough to provide safe passage through a sandstorm. This is one of the only acceptable methods to depose of a clan leader, as killing one otherwise leads to Exile .
Coming of Age Rites
When a Oazian Bloodletter is considered a warrior by their group, the symbol of their group is carved, tattooed, or branded into their chest, back, or head, depending on the warrior. The scar left afterwards serves as a sort of badge, marking them as belonging to their clan or house.
