Belonging to the Metabo of Tian, these children are raised within their class are particular set of disciplines and martial artes, this being the foundation structure of Stone Clan. Little else is expected of them other than to train, grow and bring honor to their circle until they come of age, finally able to become true warriors.
They do not train with their peers, rather their fathers as the mentality of the Stone Clan takes a militaristic perspective. Battle is for war and should be treated as sacred and serous. Some may be taken in by masters if they show talent, thus learning and germinating specific techniques into that circle.

The fortunate are able to accompany scions on hunts or find themselves in the service of the wealthy or mighty. Like all Bermen, they possess a liminal effect, though lesser in effect due to age.
