Seedling Path
In the town of Neem the Neem Dryad hold a coming of age ceremony/festival that is celebrated for two months. The seedlings (young dryads) determine when they are ready to become an adult dryad. Once they are ready to become an adult they ask the Elders to prepare for the upcoming celebration and provide their adult dryad name and what their prefered duty is. This ceremony does not happen very often as Neem Dryads do not give birth often.
Elders, I am here to ask you to accept me as Harlequinia the Watcher. If you accept me I will be the strength, the courage, and the loyal. I ask of you for this is what I am and who I am.
Festival
The Seedling Path Ceremony is in the middle of a two month festival. The streets are filled with different vendors from the town and invited guest vendors. There is always some type of entertainment happening. Before the seedling is accepted as an adult the entertainment, good, food, etc. is gear towards seedlings. After the Seedling Path Ceremony has taken place everything shifts towards adult dryads.Ceremony
The ceremony takes around an hour. It is different for each dryad but at the root of the ceremony is connecting with Ethrosa and the trees around her. No one talks about their ceremony as it is deeply personal and it only about them. During this hour the entire village sits in quiet and connects to Ethrosa in their own way.Related Articles
