The Trial of the Hunt is a rite performed by young Kartanin, roughly at twelve standard years of age. Until its completion, a Kartanin is part of the Untested. Having gained no honour and spilled no blood for house and family, they are yet unworthy of bearing a name. Should they succeed - and not all do - they choose a first name, and are considered adults. Their family then prepares them for one year, before they start training with the Kartanin Warfleet.
