Coming of Age Rites
At the age of 14 the child must prove themselves in combat against another vampire who is acting in the same trial. It is not to the death but to the breaking point or surrender. The winner has a reserved spot in the Vampiric army when they are fully of age. The loser becomes a commoner Vampire.
At the age of 18 all vampires have to perform their first hunt. A beast, dwarf, elf or even a human can be a target. The Vampire coming of age must stealthily steal the blood of the victim if they are female, or if they are male rip the blood from the target like a real warrior.
