Crucible of the Slaves: A Trial

Written by: Archbishop Nizaris Xanatov, of the Black Cathedral
Date: Tuesday, September 17th, 2013
Addressed to: Everyone


Slaves of Mhaldor, and heathen youth searching for purpose:

The tradition of slavery in Mhaldor is one steeped in both practical and theological importance. Whereas other cities coddle their children and expect them to grow in strength, Mhaldor would much rather throw them into a crucible of hellfire. From trial, we believe that they are made to grow stronger, recreated in the image of the Almighty, and finally worthy of Mhaldorian citizenship.

If you believe that you are capable of pulling yourself out of the forge of slavery by the straps of your boots, then listen to me, and listen well: the fires are well-stoked, and crave their fill of mortal souls.

MHALDOR ANNOUNCES A COMPETITION, whereby three slaves will earn their freedom in the period of three short years. The competition shall be known as the Crucible of the Slaves, and the prizes shall be as follows:

1st Place: City Favour to Troni*, and 50 city credits.
2nd Place: City Favour to Troni*, and 25 city credits.
3rd Place: City Favour to Troni*, and 10 city credits.
4th-10th Place: 5 city credits.

* Those who, within their three years are already promoted to Troni will receive a single city favour, in addition to their earned credits.

Points may be earned in one of two ways: independant completion of tasks to benefit the Holy City, and victory in events.
