Tolrocht

The Tolrocht, more commonly known as the Jiralhanae Maturity Rite was a ritual in Jiralhanae society to mark a youngling's ascension to maturity. Those who didn't complete this ritual would remain a whelp until he was deemed ready to try again.

There were a great deal of rules passed down from the ancient Jiralhanae ancestors, according to myth handed to the shamans of that era from the godly totems to detail the ritual itself. First, all whelps of sufficient age (15) or those who had previously failed in the ritual were gathered at a designated shrine in the desolate volcanic plains of Doisac, where they would have to pass three trials; In The Trial of Strength, the whelps would be pitted against a variety of massive beasts found on Doisac and have to kill the creatures. Successful completion of the test showed that one was strong enough to be a part of Jiralhanae society. In The Trial of Courage, the whelps were ordered to traverse into an unknown area, usually a cave, filled with unknown hostile beasts to retrieve a gem (usually of religious significance). Completion of the test would show that one was brave enough to enter the unknown and survive. In The Trial of Loyalty, the whelps would be given morally doubtious orders from an acting-Chieftain, such as killing whelps from other territories. Those who carried out the orders they were given would prove that they'd be valuable subordinates to Chieftains and do as ordered.

Upon completion of all three trials, the successful whelps would be officially declared adults and have a feast prepared in their honor. Usually, the individual tribes also rewarded their respective new adults, often by offering them mating rights with more of the tribe's females or extra food rations every week. However, failure to complete the trials caused the whelps to be shunned by their respective tribes and isolated, even from their family in many cases.
