Prophecy
The Five Trials
“Through shadow’s veil and wisdom’s light, five trials mark the chosen’s flight.”
The prophecy names five trials, and it names them in order. Elysia Stormweaver holds that the sequence matters: there is a reason the trials come when they come, and a cost to reaching past your place in the order.
What each trial asks is not set out in advance.
