Quest of Maturity

The Quest of Maturity is a practice that male towari from the town of Baelon partake in when they turn 15 years old. They are told to leave the village on a journey to experience the world and mentally transition themselves from the mindset of a boy to the mindset of a man. Many men seek out mercenary work during this time, and others endeavor south in search of fortune.

When males return from their quests they are required to take up a wife and spend the rest of their days in a settled occupation while nurturing a family.
