Twins play an important part in the ritual.

In recent years, the government issued a decree that the first twin to come out is the eldest.

Each region used to have its own roles until that decree was made.

When I asked the Ceremony Master about the village's rules, he grinned and said that tradition is tradition.

This village still practices the old way.

The twin that is born second is considered the elder.

This village's ceremony is closely linked to the idea of 'twins', and yet it would appear that the recent edict to consider the first born twin the elder has not reached these parts.

Indeed, the very idea was met with snorts of derision when I spoke to the local priests about it. They maintained that their custom had always been the same, and would never change.

The one who is born last is the elder.
