Ceremony
The treeleap is a ceremony that is considered the end of the youth for Mizarin Nekorians. On a day set by the Mizarin priests several young Nekorians gather and participate in this ceremony. After the ceremony the Nekorians are proper citizens who are allowed to take on jobs and particpate in the religious rituals and competitions, like the Skyviewing.
Nice ritual! Do people die or get injured often? Is there ever anyone who refuse to go through with it or who cannot because of injuries or disabilities for example? Are they considered children all their life then?
I was thinking about adding that perhaps yes. The injuries are actually non existent, the Nekorians seem to be well adapted to the ritual. As for people who do not participate in it, it would never be that someone does not participate willingly. I will indeed have to look into people with disabilities but I would say that those are not common since most things among the Nekorians can be healed in the temple of the Healing Moon (they got some advanced tech over there :p )
