These are the celebrations in which the creed have created. The background to each will be written along with the needed preparation before it happens and what season it can happen in. Celebrations are only able to happen after the first two years after the creed has started (8 months after the roleplay has been open) as only a large creed is able to celebrate successfully.​

The Trials of Youth
-
After​ the youths have received the approval of the creed that they are ready to become novices, they are lined up at a special course training ground where they are to test their endurance, strength and wit. At this point in their lives they are adolescents and are expected to pass every obstacle without fail, but they are mostly viewed by the Overseer, the eldest Educators and selected Forebearers to see which rank they fit into.
-
Most young males do rather well with the training and often are taken in by any ranking Educator, while females are less often chosen for the dangerous ranks as they often struggle with the obstacle. However some females are exceptions and are instead trained harder as Novices to spark their inner potential. Those less than adequate for the dangerous ranks are often sent to become Bearers or Attendants, so they aren't completely useless.
-
After the Trials of Youth, the youth are now known as Novices and are trained by Educators and occasionally the Overseer. This is until they become ready for their Sharing of Blood.

The Sharing of Blood
-
After​ training hard for the majority of their youth, the novices will be judged by the Overseer themselves and the eldest Educators available. Those that are ready to move on to their ranks will participate in the Sharing of Blood ceremony.
-
The group of novices and elder wolves travel to one of their stone tablets, in the woodlands they reside in. A large sharpened stone is placed in front of the group as they are lined up to be given the ceremony properly. The Educators and Overseer say something along the lines of "To show you all are to give your own blood to the creed only, you shall place a speck of it here on this tablet." and the older wolves do the same first to show what the novices are supposed to do.
-
One by one the novices raise their paw and pierce it on the sharpened stone til it bleeds, and without touching it to the ground they place it where the Educators and Overseer placed their blood. Afterwards they will be dismissed and told they are to be given their first assignments the next day as their new ranks. "Do not disappoint."

The Placing of Skulls
-
After​ the death of a creed member, the member's corpse is taken to the deepest part of the territory to be carved. The skull is removed and the face is filled with herbs, rocks, dirt and wrapped. The skull is then washed in a nearby stream and the body is buried, placing the skull and some herbs or flowers on top to ward animals from digging. They are allowed to be mourned by their family but are often left in piece in the ground, remembered as a loyal member and sometimes even a legend.
-
If a body was not recovered or simply could not be found/taken as it was in the hands of another group, the latest large kill's skull is put above instead.
