Fantasy RPG Forum - Standing Trials

They had been warned.

Now, it was time for action. In Saun 717, those who had taken up the call of the Immortals were given their tasks. With the turn of the season, these groups would journey far to complete their missions. Spanning three trials, the last of Vhalar, they are going to be sent to specific places. Scattered across the globe, each group would be asked to retrieve a particular artifact for their Immortal.

What would be the prize for those that served their Immortal successfully? None of them were telling. There were whispers here and there, comments that Cassion was playing a game, that the Immortals were vying for a secret only he knew. Whatever it was, they did not say. Why it was those Immortals and not others remained a secret.

And so, they were sent to these far-flung places to retrieve the artifacts in the name of their Immortals. It was clear to them as their Immortal teleported them there, as they moved through the realm as quick as a blink, they were not afforded the luxury of time. This was a race. Only one group would retrieve each artifact and more than one group was seeking each one.

What would happen if they should win; if their group should be the one retrieving the artifact for their Immortal? None of them knew for sure yet. Yet as they arrived at their destination they all understood one thing: The consequence of winning was to get to the endgame. They didn't know what that meant, but each group knew it must be done.

So, on that cold trial in Vhalar, it began. They disappeared from where they were, vanished for a three trial period. Maybe longer, if they made it further.

If they were lucky.
