A Kislevite Shaman's Apprentice will spend much of her time in the wilderness of the steppes of Kislev, especially in winter. This harsh life teaches the apprentice as much about winter survival as it does about magic. Some do not survive their first winter outdoors and those who do are altered by the experience, returning in the spring with their nature forever changed. They will be tougher, more mature, less emotional, and with an appreciation of the vast uncaring nature of the world and their insignificant part in it.

| - A Kislevite Shaman's Apprentice will spend much of her time in the wilderness of the steppes of Kislev, especially in winter. This harsh life teaches the apprentice as much about winter survival as it does about magic.

They will be tougher, more mature, less emotional, and with an appreciation of the vast uncaring nature of the world and their insignificant part in it. Apprentices are never allowed to leave their master until they are pronounced shamans at an annual caucus and given a territory of their own. It can take years of study and privation before a shaman will declare an apprentice ready to be recognised as a full member of the shamanic community. Many give up at this stage, choosing to live out an easier life, but many more are determined to beat the harsh world by accepting it as a part of themselves and making its power theirs. This is especially true of Kislevite women, whose main alternative to status as a shaman is the dull and oppressive world of a boyar's wife.
