17 (([[Wealsun))]]
Celebrated among the (([[Flannae))]], the (([[Marklands))]], and in (([[Druidic)) ]] communities. Seven-year olds are carried blindfolded and barefoot into the woods, and must find a new name before returning to the village feast. Each child is released separately and alone. They are guided by rowdy singing (and a huge bonfire if they are slow), and when they return they are carried into the centre of the gathering to whisper their name into the fire. This is their (([[Truename))]], with all that implies. It should be noted that (([[rangers)) ]] and (([[priests)) ]] of (([[Elhonna)) ]] are also especially busy this night, quietly patrolling the area and looking out for the children's safety. In friendly lands some (([[elves)) ]] are also drawn to this sort of role, and it is considered a good omen for a child to successfully spot one.
