Sitaelan

Sitaelan was started by the Elves back when their race was still young. After the Aistalay race came about fifteen-hundred years later, the Elves shared the ritual with the young race. At the end of the Heat Years Era, the Aistalay were all but extinct and the Elves had long-since gained to many numbers to maintain the ritual as they once had. Five-thousand years later, the Aistalay race makes its return. The few Aistalay that remember the old ritual attempt to bring it back from memory. Though many aspects have since been last, a good portion of the ritual has been remembered and brought back into practice.

This ritual happens twice in the child's life. First at the age of five. They are present with three different coloured bowls of water. Each bowl of water represents one of the Odoni gods - one bowl from the Odoni the father follows, one the mother follows, and a random one chosen by the Chieftain. The child must then decide which bowl to drink from. The bowl drank from is the Odoni god the child will follow until the age of thirteen. Throughout the whole process, the child does not know what bowl represents which Odoni god. When the child turns thirteen, they a presented with all twenty-three choices (the twenty-fourth is dedicated only to children under five). This time around, the child is told what elemental type each of the colours is (each time a different child enters the ritual, the colours will be switched around to a different element to keep it less likely the child will pick an option a friend chose). Each elemental type or category will be represented with the same colour. There are six different categories, so five of them will have four bowls, and one will have three. Like the one at five years, the child must then drink from the bowl of choice. Whichever bowl they choose from is the Odoni god the follow for the rest of their lives, including afterlife.

Bowls of different colours. If it is for the child's five-year ritual, only three bowls of different colours is needed. If it is for the child's final, thirteen-year ritual, six different colours of twenty-three bowls are need (Most categories will have four bowls, one will have three).

This ritual is primarily private. The Chieftain leads the ceremony with the child in private save for a record-keeper who will take note of the choice. The parents of the child wait outside the room until it has finished. The other people will have to wait until the parents or child decides to announce the choice.

Among the Aistalay, the ritual is held the night before the child's fifth and thirteenth birthdays. In the Elves when they once performed this, the date of the ritual would be between the fifth birthday and sixth birthday for the first ritual, and twelfth to thirteenth birthdays. The exact date would be determined between the King and the parents. After the Elven population became to large for the King to handle everyone, it was placed among the Lords and Ladies that ruled under the King. Eventually it fell completely out of practice among the Elves. Today, the Elves just honour each Odoni god as they see fit.
