Novice

Novice of Kol'shra

'''Novice is the name given to the boys and girls that are training to pass the Leaving, although they do not know it. They normal commence training at 4 or 5 and train right up until 10. This gives them 5 or 6 years of training normaly. In accordance with Kol'shraian tradition they reguraly shave their head as hair is not allowed to grow.'''

The boys and girls chosen to become novices, are almost always from the Kol'shraian breeding program, and are the best specimens the Kol'shra can find, although occassionaly they will be the son or daughter of a prominent enemy or related to them (half enemy, half Kol'shra) which one of the Kol'shra has seduced, like the case of Dragonsbreath'''. These children are called halfbloods. '''
