Trials of Fallhaven

In order to become a Champion of Fallhaven, one must complete three trials.

First Trial
The first trial is a week long excursion into the Broken Wilds. Prospective Champions are flown deep into the wilds and are to make their way back to Fallhaven through the dangerous terrain. Because the Broken Wilds are incredibly dangerous, prospects are given a compass that points to the safest direction of travel for the day, though this can still be fraught with danger.

The First Trial is to weed out serious contenders, leaving only the truly rugged, crafty, and powerful candidates.

Second Trial
The second trial consists of trial by combat against a current Champion of Fallhaven. A few days before the trials, the Banquet of Champions is held in celebration of the event and is the prospects' opportunity to demonstrate their combat abilities. Demonstrations by current and previous Champions are scattered throughout the evening and all of the important players in Fallhaven are invited.

Combat takes place in one of the Arena's four smaller arena settings. The four current arenas are called the Gravity Arena, the Rainbow Arena, the Junkyard, and the Pit. Trial is often one on one between Champions and the prospects. Champions who fight prospects in the arena are tasked with testing the prospect's skills and abilities, so victory for the prospects is not absolutely required. The decision ultimately lies with the Champion on whether the prospect has passed the trial.

Third Trial
The Third Trial is known as the "Act of Great Service to the Crown and Citizens of Fallhaven." There is no standard format for this trial and prospects are generally tasked by the current monarch of Fallhaven. Some Champions have completed this task with an act of heroism on the battlefield, an important invention that improves the lives of the citizens, or bringing great wealth to the crown. Because it is not a well-defined task, prospects go years without completing the third trial.

Championship
Champions of Fallhaven are granted special privileges within the city of Fallhaven. Champions are granted access to the Royal Treasury (vast stores of powerful items and riches), but must use the items in the name of and for the betterment of Fallhaven and its citizens. Champions are often sent on diplomatic missions to other Oasis Cities on the Broken Continent.
