This is the third and last of three rites in the Rites of Fertility, which you must pass in order to breed your Tokota. This event will be judged regularly as the moderators schedule allows. Rules and judging rubric can be found on the main Rites of Fertility page.

This test is open to all, but is affiliated with Prestige Breeders.

The Rite of Knowledge contains three choices for a prompt that can be completed in order for Prestige Breeders' tokotas to gain their Arms of Akna. The options include chasing down up to three tagged tokotas in the vast wilderness of Tokotna and bringing them back to the judges, putting your tokota on babysitting duty and caring for young tokotas, animals (or even humans!) to prove their excellent temperaments and disposition for breeding, or having your tokota prance around an arena in decorative tack showing off their best moves in a dressage show. Only one of these prompts must be completed in order to pass this rite.

Prompts

Option One

Draw or write about your tokota attempting to catch up to three (minimum: one) tagged tokotas that have gotten loose in the Tokotna wilderness. These tokotas will have tags on their ears for easier identification. The tagged tokotas can be starters, your own, or friends' tokotas.

(The tagged tokota(s) must be at least 25% visible)

Option Two

Your tokota has been put on babysitting duty! Draw or write about your tokota looking after pups, baby animals or even children and the things they get up to - this prompt is to prove your tokota's excellent temperament which is a highly sought after trait in breeding! Your tokota and its posse of young can be depicted throughout Tokotna getting up to all kinds of mischief (or trying to control the chaos).

(The chosen subject for babysitting must be at least 50% visible)

Option Three

Its time for your tokota to show off their best moves! Draw or write about your tokota prancing around the arena in a dressage competition, decorative tack and all trying to impress the judges!

(Depictions of decorative tack are not required but may help increase your effort score)
