History

This ritula has been for centuries a part of the saurian comunity as a way to select the leader, primal shaman, of the saurian tribe

Execution

As per the now all know game Six and death the ritual is based in four trails, each one related to one element: Fire, Water, Earth and Air
The shamanic magic is based in this four elements, is not quite difined if this magic is divine or not but the other races don't pay real attention to the saurians to rule them
The ritual start with 7 prospects each of them must prove their worth in each elemental test: Fire, combat; Water, heling; Earth, diviniation; Air, Intelligence; but above all in all the four test the judges, the recent primal shaman and his/her three advisors, measure the prdudence, the rationality of the contestants in each test; the best will be named primal shaman, three of the other six, will form the group of advisors

Participants

1. 7 constestants. Can be of any age but need to be at least of adult age and any gender, to be contestant need to be formed in shamanic magic
2. The current primal shaman of the tribe as primal judge
3. The current three advisors to be the other judges
4. Each participant names two saurians, one to function as "sponsor" supported, to help throught the trials; the other as an "observed" with the capacity to qualify the other contestants. 

Observance

There is no right time to do this ritual
As all the saurian society is based in the guide of the shamans and the elemental magic the council of three can call for a ritual to be prepared, or in the rare case of death of the primal shaman (only two times this is happen)
