One of the most pure tasks in High Elven society is being part of the Temple of the Silver Phoenix. Many families will donate their children to the Temple where they will be raised, taught, and trained in the way of the Mother. While not explicitly stated, it is more common for people to donate their daughters.

These children are divided by their age, ranging from little ones (Bessi’inn), adolescents (Scin), and teens (Scini). These students are raised under the roof of the mother, learning of their history, their religion, their Goddess. They are taught discipline, purity, and chastity. Once of age, these children will attempt to connect with the divine Mother in a trial. If successful, the Scini become Scinari, ordained priests and missionaries of the Mother. These priests are able to directly connect with the Mother and translate Her Will upon the Elves of Aerial. The highest of these positions is the “Silver Phoenix.”

Should a Scini fail the trial, they are redirected to becoming custodians and scribes of the church. While not strictly forbidden, it is taboo to leave the church given the implications of impurity and lack of chastity. It is not uncommon that a Purity Trial follows soon after.
