A Felvargs Passage of Courtship is a set of two trials that a Felvarg must complete in order to participating in breeding. Until a Felvarg's PoC's are completed the Felvarg cannot breed nor give away slots to other players, however the Felvarg can still do other activities within the group. Please read through the journal carefully and if you have any questions comment below.
Members must have the provided form present in each applicable PoC/Hierarchy Update image in order for the images to qualify.
Note: It is against group rules to sell/trade/or write a slot to a Felvarg that does not have it's Passage of Courtship.
Be mindful the wild prompts will be added spontaneously until there is a fluid amount of prompts to choose from.
Please copy and paste, then fill out the form below for each image prior to submitting it to be judged:

Perspective? We allow it, however if we feel as though the perspective was abused to dodge the requirements above, our Passage of Courtship admins have the authority to send images to corrections.
