Trials of Life were cruel trials made by the perverse faith of the zealous warriors, their worship of struggle, battle, and death. Their trials were held in Red Colosseum.[1]
Cycle
This sacrificial ritual by the followers of War was performed every decade or so.[1]
Reward
The reward was related to the tale of a wooden blade that granted the champion a chance to win their freedom.[1]
Background
The strange cult of War that had blossomed on the ruins of the Kingdom of Hope. It was built around the tenet of glory which was both the highest virtue and the highest of honors. It could only be won by prevailing against overwhelming odds, through mortal struggle, which was the essence of life, and war.[1]
They enslaved a horde of abominations and threw themselves against it, fighting to the death against their slaves in the arena. With each battle, the weak were slaughtered, and the strong got to live and fight against more powerful enemies the next day. All under the beaming gazes of the jubilant crowd.[1]
The last champion would be gifted a wooden blade, and a chance to fight for their freedom. They just had to overcome one last enemy, to fight against the immortal Transcendent herself, Solvane.[1]
