Ritual of Tuburr

The Ritual of Tuburr (or the Rite of Ascendancy) was an early rite of passage for young Ice Warriors to become Ice Lords.
The Ritual of Tuburr required a young Ice Warrior to spend a week (or possibly a month) in the wastelands of Mars without weapons or armour. They would then pull the Sword of Tuburr out of a fire with their bare hands and pledge an oath to Tuburr. (PROSE: Legacy)
The Ice Lord needed to show no fear or pain, for this would be a sign of weakness. The Ice Warrior would be guarded by seven soldiers who would kill any trespassers; if they failed their lives were forfeit. If the ritual were interrupted or stopped, the Ice Warrior could not become an adult. (COMIC: Descendance)
Though this ceremony was necessary for accession, Ice Warriors could still become adults in rare circumstances. (COMIC: Ascendance)
