The Trial of Will and Duty

Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
The Trial of Will and Duty is a trial conducted by the Priest Caste to determine whether a Dwhewn-Narâg can promote itself or demote itself in the castes; This is mostly used to determine if someone can be used to become a warrior as many Dwarves seek valor and glory;   The Trial itself is conducted differently for each caste, each testing their corresponding skills and each Caste, has different trial:  
Caste Intended Sponsored By the Priesthood of Details
Noble Caste Moradin, She'eros Only those of True Dwarvish Loyaslty and those of loyalty, can become Nobles - To become one, the Dwarven Clerics of those faith consult one another and have a decision to test the Dwarf to his limit and showing loyalty, leadership to his people. Usually The tests are not available for the Slaves Caste. Those taste are usually conducted and are done after consulting with an outsider of the Morndismann.
Priest Caste Berronar Truesilver Though many want to become priests of different faith, only those of Berronar deem the dwarf worthy and they test their faith, first and foremost to the Morndisamman; Only then, does it go to be an acolyte of the faith; If the Dwarf fails, it returns to its Caste;
Warrior Caste Angradd or Anya Goldhammer, She'eros Unlike the Noble Caste, this decision can by one of the the priests and they find them worthy for their skills in Battle, loyalty, bravery or vengeance.
Smith Caste Dumathoin, and Moradin Only the skills of the dwarf are attestment to the dwarf ability to become; However, many clerics do test the affinity of dwarves and check if they can become Smiths; There are many testimonies to visions granted by Dumathion to these;
Artisans, Unlike many castes, Many Smiths or Warrios may want to become Artisans and even to be demoted, it requires a test of Moradin. This test unlike the Test of Dumathion Priests, is more rigid and more orderly.
Mining Caste Dumathoin This test is done over a period of 1 year and if successful, one becomes a miner;
Merchant Caste Vergadain, Anya Goldhammer or Orosaban This test is relatively easier, as it requires apprenticeship to a merchant and if they deem him sucessful, he indeed becomes a merchant.
Brewers Caste Moradin This test is a mix between the mining caste and the merchant caste
Farming Caste Berronar Truesilver Those who find affinity for the Farming are usually recruited by the Priests as none of the dwarves feel the 'need' to grow and feed - Therefore it is almost obligatory duty and is more than respected .
