Elemental Sorting:
When Draconian Nestlings undergo the Elemental Sorting in order to become a juvenile, usually at the age of 9 years. In the Elemental Sorting, the Nestlings, one by one, walk up to each of the Elemental Pedestals. The Pedestals are crude stone columns that each have an element on top. One has a large wooden bowl of water, the second has a small bonfire, the third contains a white orb of light, the fourth a basin of earth with a single flower in it, the fifth a mound of leaves, and the sixth a dark orb of shadows. When the Nestling passes the Element that chooses them, the element on the pedestal will react. The water will start to boil, the fire would shoot up into the air, The shadows would start to trail dark smoke-like tendrils onto the ground, the ball of light would start to flash, The flower will burst into bloom, and the mound of leaves will outline a small whirlwind of air. The now Juvenile would go back to their parents, now showing signs of the element specific features that they would continue to grow until they become an adult.
The Naming:
The Naming takes place in the naming grove. A large grove of trees with a natural platform made by the intertwining of a pair of low hanging branches. When a Draconian reaches 18 years of age, and has sufficiently trained with his/her’s element, they flock to the Naming Grove, where a large assortment of Draconians from their island come to watch. The Ceremony takes place during a full moon, when the moonlight illuminates the platform directly. One by one the Draconians step onto the stage and announce the two-part name that will become their last name, and the proof that they are now adults. The names are a mixture of natural items, animals or elements that pertain to their personality, or things that showcase their talents. For example: Swiftwing, Stormwind, Birdfang, etc.
