The Trials

Every year on the island known as The Dominion of Lost Things trials are held by The Watch. Those who pass all three trials are immediately allowed into their ranks.

The Trials are extremely dangerous, less than one if five survive.

The Infanzones use the trials as a way to prove themselves, but use the ways out after the second trial to avoid being inducted into the watch and stripped of their titles after the third.

Making maps during the trials is forbidden.

=The Trials= Candidates are brought from Sacromonte to the The Dominion of Lost Things, and dropped off at a set of storehouses called Lodoso Dock. There they are given supplies and the trials begin.

After each trial, there are sanctuaries that mark the end of that trial. Candidates may drop out at these sanctuaries.

The First Trial - Trial of Lines
The first trial is called the Trial of Lines. It is called such because of the lines it forces people to cross.

The Trial is a journey from the Lodoso dock to the second trial in the mountains. It is approximately a five days journey from the dock. The road first passes through a forest, then a plain, then through the forest again and across a river. There is an aqueduct known as the high road that lies parallel to the main road.

The Second Trial - Trial of Ruins
The second trial is called the Trial of Ruins.

The Third Trial - Trial of Weeds
The third trial is called the Trial of Weeds.
