The rite of passage is a program that was created by the Supreme Alliance in its earlier days. It was created to solve the problem of discontent about the distribution of resources. There was a question about how much resources should be invested in a Supreme Beast and how should that amount be determined. The rite of passage was the answer to that question."
"The fact that the rite of passage also provided the opportunity for the young to gain experience has further made the rite of passage important and indispensable to the upbringing of the younger generation. But the focus of the rite of passage still remains on resource distribution by merit."
