If you are a leader of a clan.
PM me for the ceremonial words, to name and apprentice, warrior and an elder, assign a new deputy and sit vigil for a dead member.
For right now there is no Medicine wolf, so I have not listed the herbs needed yet.
Or the fighting techniques.
PM me with any questions, suggestions or concerns.[/center]
