THE
CLOISTER OF TRIALS
CLOISTER OF TRIALS
The day has arrived; a time for those who have trained, who have dedicated themselves to finally step into the unknown. To face trial and tribulation, to hone their skills against who knows what. It is high noon, and small orbs of light guide the way through a Greatwood painted with Leafchange colours (and tainted, increasingly, with signs of blight), all the way to the Drop.
Evidence of the rockslide is still apparent, sloping treacherously here and there , but to the other side of the Drop... are steps. Steps down, down, down, where the orbs of light continue to bob and weave and dance. Fae and Grounders alike mill around - though not together, of course. Or barely together.
Once you have descended, you find yourself in a low and spacious cavern. To the left lies one way and one way only - a Fae directs any observers to use this route as a way to watch what goes on.
To the right... a network of new tunnels. Each combatant is carefully manoeuvred so that they do not take the same route as one of the others... and eventually, each participant is faced with a door of carved, solid stone. At intervals, the doors slide up... and they are invited to step into the ring to meet their opponent.
The Cloister of Trials has begun!!
Each participant (i.e. whoever has completed the first part of the seasonal event) must post here first to indicate that they have entered the cloister.
Anyone else is also invited to join this SWE to use it as a spectator's thread! Please feel free to post and react to what you will see throughout the trials!
