The Selection was a three-ritual series of brutal trials in which the Nightsisters of Dathomir chose men from the Nightbrother clan to serve as their mates and servants. While the Selection was only for Nightbrothers, the three trials of the Selection were also employed to select Nightsisters ready for full warrior status. The ceremony consisted of the Test of Fury, the Test of Night, and the Test of Elevation. All three trials were held at the arena on Dathomir known as the Crucible.
The only thing linking Mother Kurzhal Vyzhara's clan to all of the other Dathomiri clans was her people's firm belief in tradition. They underwent the Selection too like all Nightsisters and Nightbrothers did. Unlike the others who insisted on a death to finish a test, they stopped once first blood had been drawn.
Firmus Piett (LadyVader) was the only human to have ever faced and passed the Selection. Even though Avaria Piett tried to talk him out of it, he stood in the Crucible in front of both the Riversong and Stormstride clans and told Mother Vyzhara and the clans his feelings for her.
==The Test of Fury==
The Test of Fury was the first in a series of trials that the Nightbrothers and Nightsisters were forced to pass to go on to become warriors or assassins in full. The Test of Fury primarily involved combat, with candidates either being pitted against each other or their instructor.
==The Test of Night==
The Test of Night was the second trial. Candidates fought much like they did in the Test of Fury, save for lacking the light of Dathomir's four moons. Fighters sometimes employed the technique known as the Ears of the Chiroptix (LadyVader) to pass the trial. During Firmus' Selection, he went up against Naarias during his Test of Night.
==The Test of Elevation==
The Test of Elevation was the third and final challenge in a series of trials that the Nightbrothers and Nightsisters of Dathomir were forced to pass to go on to become full warriors. Candidates fought amidst the moving stone pillars of the Crucible in a display of their abilities.
