In the culture of Hardstads' a free-man, born of salt and sea, rules his homestead. When a son born of a free-man becomes of age, he must prove himself a man. Armed with only a wooden fishing spear, and his wits, he is casted out. He must come back with enough fish to feed his family for two moons, or he must arrive with a Hjortspring he constructed to help the clan and their sea-faring ambitions. Once declared a man, he must find a bride. He must propose a marriage of himself, a worthy woman, and the sea. He must propose to her father, if he is rejected. He must steal her in the night. Like the changing of the tide when the moon fades, he must prove his worth. If the woman rejects the offer, and or the man fails his mission. He is cast out from his clan, and must find another place to settle.
