Their possessions often get given to their younger siblings, or to the local community, where the belongings will be shared between the children in their settlement. This results in possessions being handed down through generations and between nearby towns and villages. A 2018 survey showed that 78% of New Beginners will participate in this trend, but has been slowly lowering over the past few years, from 83% in 2006.
