Challenges of Justice, Nature, Knowledge and Harmony
The event continued over the past two weekends with the following results:
Challenge of Justice Dozens of contestants showed up to debate one another for the Challenge of Justice. Finally, it was Malarious d'Murani of the Harbingers who proved that he was truly worthy to claim the Seal of Justice. Challenge of Nature For the Challenge of Nature, contestants looked through a magical kaleidoscope to see brief clues of the path they needed to follow to find the Seal of Nature. The long, arduous journey ended with Xiel Peulus of the Spiritsingers being the first to master the paths and claim the Seal of Nature. Challenge of Knowledge The wisest sages, scholars and intellectuals gathered for the Challenge of Knowledge. After many grueling questions, it became clear that Ishant Nightshade of the Shadowdancers was truly worthy to claim the Seal of Knowledge. Challenge of Harmony Contenders eager to enter the Challenge of Harmony came from all corners of the Basin of Life. Throughout the challenge, they sought out all sentient life, influencing them to bring harmony to the land. Finally, Veyrzhul La'Saet of the Celestines travelled the furthest and influenced the most, thus claiming the Seal of Harmony. This coming weekend, the Challenge of Life and Challenge of Death will commence, as well as revealing who won the Challenge of Beauty. Then, in just two short weeks, the final Ascension Challenge occurs where all the Sealbearers compete to see which one will reach True Ascendancy. |

A champion emerged in their hour of need, as Xenthos An'Ryshe of the Ebonguard demonstrated his profound knowledge of healing, thus claiming the Seal of Life! Challenge of Death The clash of swords and magic echoed throughout Lusternia as the Trial of Death commenced, calling out for the most bloodthirsty of mortals to meet the darkest of challenges. In the end, no one could compare to the skill of Vathael Feyranti of the Serenguard who left a sea of blood behind him as he claimed the Seal of Death! Challenge of Beauty For nearly two years, artists have been preparing their greatest works to enter into the Challenge of Beauty. The winning entry went to a Master Chef, who was none other than Silferras Ysav'rai of the Blacktalon with a platter of the planes which left those who sampled it fulfilled in both spirit and belly! Now the Nine Sealbearers will meet this coming weekend in a titanic clash which will decide which one of them will ascend to hold Lusternia safe for another generation! |

The Trial of Ascension
During the , not many Sealbearers dared to wield the Staff of Ascension, but two contenders rose to dominate the event: Xiel Peulus of the Spiritsingers who bore the Seal of Nature, and Veyrzhul La'Saet of the Celestines who bore the Seal of Harmony. Buttressed by their allies, the two Sealbearers fought each other throughout the astral plane as well as the insanity of Kethuru and the hideous abominations made manifest by his will. Finally, Xiel mastered the Staff of Ascension and reformed the Nine Seals. In doing so, he ascended and is now know as Lord Viynain of the Realm of Nature.
Congratulations, Lord Viynain! |
