kahlrot

kahlrot CULTURE — A rite of passage. The kahlrot was a → cumatu that originated in an island community in → Ausrost. The island, known as → Pucket, was home to an indigenous people group known as → Pucks that had largely remained isolated from the rest of Ausrostians. The coming-of-age rite was considered a sacred part of the islanders’ worship of → Vix, and included ceremonial costumes and baptismal rites that coincided with → Sauingrey and → Lunauinbroc. The → folken of Pucket were one of the few—if not only—people groups in → Mor-Thandak who celebrated the two → Hidain interchangeably, due to the → gu-delak—that is, the mirroring of the northern and southern cultures, in particular the mirroring of Hidain festivals.
