Torathim is an Imperium world, whose Regiments use Whiteshields.[1]
Torathim Regiments
Outside of battle, these Whiteshields are given kitchen duties, until they prove themselves as warriors. When their Regiment's commanding officer believes they have done so, they become Guardsmen and are assigned a position within their Regiment. These former Whiteshields then undergo rituals of manhood, which include being given traditional scars, by a Guardsman with one of their world's hunting knives. During this procedure it is important they do not yell, in order to not shame themselves or risk having an artery severed. When the procedure is done, the new Guardsmen will have wounds that will heal into their first scars of manhood. Stinging black powder is then rubbed into these fresh cuts, in order to ensure they scar well.[1]
Torathim's Regiments also make use of Warrior Lodge, with each one containing several Lodges. The High Eagle Lodge is an example of one of Torathim's Lodges and it is the most respected in its Regiment.[1]
