The final stage, adulthood, last from 13 until death. To be accepted as an adult, the cathar must prove his or her worth as an adult by hunting down a canid. It is also during this stage that a cathar may find a spouse. According to cathar custom, the male must win the love of his hopeful mate by challenging and besting her other hopeful mates. If there are no other contestants for the female, then it is decided that the female is unfit to be mated and sent into exile. Death come naturally and expectantly to the cathar.
