Birth across the broken worlds is a joyous event, the whole extended family turns up to offer their congratulations. You might see new grandmothers bursting into tears, women fussing around waiting to hold the baby, and men standing around to shake the hand of the new father. However childbirth is a dangerous business, as with few drugs or other medical knowledge mortality for the mother and child is quite high. Thus many groups pray to their gods that the child is born safely.

Once the baby has been born it must be brought into the clans religious beliefs. Again, we’ll give you examples of some ceremonies that are quite common; feel free to make your own!

Storm Worshippers believe that a new born child needs to experience the true nature of the Storm. Often this involves the father taking the new born outside during a violent storm and holding him/her up to the storms. This rarely involves the parent and child being hit by lightning…

Mist worshippers believe that a baby must be cleansed before it starts on the journey of life. They have specially built cradles so that the newborns can be lowered towards the mists, where the Mist’s cleansing properties will restore the child’s mind to a pure state.

Those who venerate their ancestors take the newborn to the tombs of the dead, where the deceased can see those who will continue the clan legacy. It is believed it is at this point that the ancestors give the child a Destiny, something it will achieve for the betterment of the clan.
