-The ritual is optional for the other //[[faction:hidden_sun_clan:clan_people]]// who are not Qaktoro, though those who do not take and pass the ritual may be seen negatively by the society. Passage of the Bagnor is a sign that a member of the Clan is capable and strong, and ready to put the Clan before themselves. It would be unusual for any member of the Clan who has not passed the Bagnor to be accepted as a crewmember on a Clan ship, for instance. The Captain and crew would wonder whether that person can be trusted, because they have not yet been tested in the ways of their people.

The nature of the tests are adjusted by the [[faction:hidden_sun_clan:sects:oath_binders]] so that they remain an appropriate challenge to those taking the test.

 ===== Failure =====
-An applicant who has performed poorly enough in one or more of the tests may be determined by the [[faction:hidden_sun_clan:sects:oath_binders]] to have failed their Bagnor. It is a rare event for a [[species:qaktoro]] to fail the Baqnor, but it does happen occasionally. Traditionally, a [[species:qaktoro]] fails to pass the Baqnor has two choices: they may undergo reproductive sterilization, or undergo //[[faction:hidden_sun_clan:rituals:sou_fofi]]//. A sterilized Qaktoro is not necessarily viewed with shame, but instead with a kind of pity; they can live a life of quiet service to the Clan, despite their failure. If a member of the other //[[faction:hidden_sun_clan:clan_people]]// fails the Baqnor, they will forever be seen as inferior to the [[species:qaktoro]].

After passing the Baqnor, the applicant may choose to join a [[faction:hidden_sun_clan:sects|Sect]]. Some Sects have been known to actively pursue particularly promising people who have passed their Baqnor, but only after the Baqnor has been formally passed.
