Training is divided into 4 main sections:
Initiation - I
Adolescence - II
Alumnae - III
Intermediate - IV
Training within the Wind element focuses on agility, balance, stealth, and tracking skills.
INITIATION
What can be covered:
I. Valuation
To pursue a future in Wind, one must ascend the Floating Isles in a specific time period and retrieve an object of a superior's choosing under the guise of delivering a message of plea to a fictional group. They must return on time and be judged by the superior. Failure to be on time or gather required materials means failure to advance.
ADOLESCENCE
What can be covered:
I. Tuning the Senses - Basic
What every great hunter or scout needs is finely-tuned senses. Come to be aware of the lightest steps, the faintest smells, or the slightest signs of movement.
II. Sneaking Techniques - Basic
A sloppy stalker will never do well in the element of Wind. To learn the basics of sneaking is a necessity. You will need to watch your head, your paws and your tail.
III. Becoming One with the Surroundings - Basic
To hunt your prey undetected, or to infiltrate the enemy's camp without fail, you will need to become one with the environment. Move just as the grass waves in the wind, and hide yourself in plain sight.
IV. Building Agility - Basic
When you come across difficult terrain, or are in quick pursuit, you will need agility to come out on top. Leap across boulders with no effort, and catch your prey when all looks lost.
