The Hunt is a tradition used to weed out the deformed. At the age of 5 moons, deformed kits are taken out and told they will be playing a game. They are instructed to hide and run from any warriors they see, lest they be caught. Being caught may or may not involve being brutally murdered. The warriors, after giving the deformed kits a head start, will begin to hunt them. The hunt begins just before sunrise, and if a kit can survive till sun high they will be allowed to live with the tribe, although they'll be relegated to a much lower rank to the others.

I don't know what I should put here, but Pebble is scared of Thistle and Wisp would like to kill anyone who has a deformity, you're welcome~
Unlike in the Tribe of Searing Pyralis, the Apprentice Ceremony is followed by a spar between apprentice and mentor to show the apprentice’s raw talent.

After kits are born, they are almost immediately separated from their mothers and siblings, reshuffled into different groups, and assigned a new kit-watcher. These kit-watchers know how to stay unattached to kits, especially the deformed ones, and will raise the kits in turn. The kits are continually shuffled between ‘mothers’ until the Hunt. After this, they will be allowed to live with a mother of their choosing, or their own mother if someone knows who it is.
