Triat Mastery: For Weaver, for Wyrm, and for Wyld
Ancient times and ancient oaths brought forth a test of Three
Tasks for Weaver, Wyrm and Wyld - Courage is the key
First to oath, a shaman wise, took on a shadowed path
Learning all the thiefly ways while feeling hunger's wrath
Ivarr walked the world in whole and fought three mighty foes
Pestis plagued, and slew and laughed, spreading Wyld as she goes.
Huey's oath swore not to kill, yet rage burned in his breast
He tried yet failed for Weaver's wrede and thus he failed his quest.
Ebon Bard was Cordir's name, the gift of Ebon's Lord
Vamps to find and then to slay and all without a word
Nyx, the first, of Second Age - The Shadow stripped of stealth
Guildmasters found and slain in threes and lore gained, more than wealth
Forbidden flight, T'sarran swore to bring three things their death
A dragon, statue, and one of Spire - Yet failed was Weaver's Test.
A mino took up tasks and vows, a student he would take
Adept rank and death to nine but failure was his fate.
A gnome stood forth, eyes clear and true, quiet love then named his pain
Denied the courage in his soul but Mastery brought great gain.
Ice Princess sought to lead on high - But Mastery called her first
Death to Scar and marriage vows, with quest complete, rebirth.
Her lover sought to walk the same, and elven visage shed
As Ogre fought and sought and learned but failure, Wyld wed.
Another tried, and Mastery failed, Her Star no longer bright
The Trial's purpose not embraced, Failed without a fight.
Then Weaver's pride stood forth to swear and Master all those tasks
She battled hard, her vows to keep, but failure found at last.
The Harbinger, a Dryad maid, denied her sun and wood,
Ocean waves and hellish fire, the least that she withstood
The Trial's not a thing for all, each test, the bind of Three
So those who think to take it up, just heed these words from me
If Triat Mastery you would seek, speak first to those who swore
They fought and found the courage true; above their doubts, they soared.
Three have stepped forward: One bound to each Aspect.
A maid for the Weaver. A man for the Wyrm. A dwarf for the Wyld.
Perseverance. Knowledge. Chaos.
Three have petitioned: the Three shall answer.
At the seventh hour, the Trials shall be granted.
The entire realm is invited* to stand as witness to the offering, understanding, and acceptance of a Trial of Triat Mastery by Aoide, Ink, and Vale of the Wyld Hunt, on Sunday, December 18th, at 7PM system time. In all of the history of the Realm, there has never been more than a single Initiate on the path of Mastery. Now, each Aspect shall be represented simultaneously, in interwoven challenges the likes of which has never been attempted.
* This is a sacred and solemn occasion for those of the Triat Faith. Formal attire is appropriate. Transport will be provided to the ceremony location (give me a tell on mud). Those seeking to disrupt the event will be dealt with in the harshest of terms and without further warning. Remember: I have zero sense of humor.
