The Cropping[]

The time of The Cropping, used to be a simple rite of passage in the Easterlands.

Depending on the child's talents, it would either have its hair cropped, to join the ranks of the warriors, or it would have its hair plaited, to symbolize their aptitude for knowledge and the crafts; on rare occasions, the head would be shaved, to signal the makings of a witch or wise one.

Now, at the time of Darkness, these rites of passage have become much more demanding and often lethal! Still, it is a way to make your people stronger and give you a better chance of fighting against the Darkness.
