At twilight under a full moon, a chosen follower becomes a Warden. The Warden invokes:

> *“Veilskarvard, Keeper of the Veil and Warden of the Unseen, hear this Oath. By the light that fades and the shadow that endures, I bind this soul to your eternal watch.”*

The chosen recites the Oath of the Warden:

> *“I vow to shield the secrets of the Veil, to guard against its misuse, and to honor the balance between shadow and light.”*

A candle infused with Veil-touched essence is lit, symbolizing the interdependence of light and shadow. The flame is snuffed, leaving soot on the flesh. A pouch of ceremonial ash and ground Skullcap Mushroom powder is presented, and a small amount is inscribed on the forehead in the shape of Veilskarvard's symbol. The Warden kneels, followed by:

> *“RISE AS A WARDEN OF VEILSKARVARD. Welcome to the pack… (Brother OR Sister)…”*
