Feast of the Fading Moon

After the Feast of the Fading Moon ends, a new generation of merfolk is faced with the big choice for their future—choosing which Shoal they will join. In Encura it is called choosing your Way of Life. This choice is also given to anyone who wants to stay in Encura as its citizen. When someone reaches the age of becoming an adult, which differs for each race, they are given the choice of joining one of the four Shoals: Providers, Protectors, Listeners, and Crafters. Each Shoal has its unique responsibilities and purpose within the underwater kingdom. After making their selection, they have one cycle to find and begin working under a master of their choosing. Sometimes, they choose a master from among their parents, but this is not always the case. At the end of the subsequent Feast of the Fading Moon, they have the option to either confirm their initial choice or change it. This flexibility results in many young merfolk exploring different roles and occupations for a few years before settling on a permanent path. However, once they confirm their decision, it becomes a lifelong commitment.
