All guild members are summoned to the Great Hall for the annual harvest feast and rank ceremonies. The evening begins with the Lighting of the Hearthstone and concludes with the elevation of new Journeymen. Formal guild attire required.

Apprentices seeking elevation to Journeyman must demonstrate mastery of fire-based techniques before the Council of Masters. Candidates must register with the Warden no fewer than seven days prior. Three attempts are permitted per cycle.
