 * Initiation into Manhood: A Trip to the Brick Building**

For boys in the region below The Waterway, the transition to manhood is not a gradual one. Following celebrations of their eighth birthday, boys receive their chance to gain full rights as a male citizen. The initiation takes place at one location only: in the building simply known as "The Passage". Each boy that enters the building is greeted by a member of their own family that has already been initiated. From here, the experience is draining; the boys undergo tests that range from pain tolerance to scent recognition, with all of the results going towards different life paths for the boys. The men that come out know their occupation, life ambitions, future residence, and even more.
