I'm in the middle of reading the novelization of the game, and I THINK that
at one point reference is made to someone remembering "his own lopno'"
(which I think they spelled "lop 'no"). This would imply that it's
specifically the party associated with a child's coming of age and
becoming a warrior, in context.
Then again, that's what the author of the book and script say. I am not
sure I would take that as canon.
