Ceremony Library

Listed below are some samples of ceremony scripts used by the Yomechas Federation, its nations and its circles. Customized ceremonies are an important source of tradition. If you need to establish ceremonies, look in your Friends Always book for ideas or use the scripts stored here as a starting point. Mix and match the contents in a manner you feel is most appropriate. Add personal touches to make your ceremonies unique.

Note: Many of the scripts below are based on the now obsolete Indian Theme.
Revisions will be posted as Adventure Theme versions become available.
