Each tribe has several priests of the Runner. They are often referred within the tribes as the Falcon's Feathers, when spoken about. There is little formal education of the priests of <span class="FORCELINK">[[Kithairien]]</span>. The dogma of Kithairien is well recited in the tribes and all the children of the wild elves learn it in their first years. When one of the tribe priests [[identify]] young wild elves who show potential, the young are given a few years training in certain practices unique to each tribe. They are also trained in the basics of healing with herb and salve, along with knowledge of plant and animals. However, as soon as the young prove competent, they are called priest by the elder priest and set to learn the rest of Kithairien's teachings in the land on their own. | |||
<span class="NOMARKUP">A</span> small tribal ceremony is conducted followed by a celebration, which often, but not always, includes tattooing of the new priest with symbols representing that which is close to his heart. In addition, the priest will sometimes take a new name to represent this new stage in his life. These newly ordained Feathers take a pilgrimage out into the wilds. For some it's communion with their patron, for others it's a quest for acceptance by Kithairien. The only thing that each pilgrimage has in common is that the priests vanish out into the world's wild places, sometimes as long as several decades. In life, Kithairien held the open plains closest to his heart. However, his people have spread out across the world and now travel mountains, deserts, woods, and plains. Guided by nothing but their curiosity, it is these pilgrimages that sometimes led to splinter groups moving into new areas. It is also during this time that the priests of Kithairien begin to carve their ceremonial spears for the rare occasions that they might be needed. | <span class="NOMARKUP">A</span> small tribal ceremony is conducted followed by a celebration, which often, but not always, includes tattooing of the new priest with symbols representing that which is close to his heart.
