Twice a year, each city throws a carnival, when the men are allowed to visit inside the walls for a few weeks--and during which time all children are conceived. When a boy turns five, he goes to live with his father in the warriors' garrison. Then, when he turns fifteen, he must make a choice: stay in the garrison, and become a full-fledged warrior, or return to the city and live as a [[NonActionGuy servitor]] (a domestic worker subservient to the women).
