THE NEW TRIALS

 

The Lur clan has always excelled in hunting, animalism and husbandry throughout the years, dating all the way back to the great Lur himself, who founded the clan and was renowned not only for slaying large and insurmountable beasts, but also for taming them as well. His children, to this day continue down the honorable path that Lur himself has set out for his king, and those that would follow in his footsteps, striving to become the greatest hunters in all the lands.

・TRIAL AZH - The Great Hunt・

The art of the hunt was always an important aspect of a Lurs life, dating all the way back to when Lur himself founded the great clan. For a Lur, the hunt serves as the embodiment of their skill and dedication of spending many days, months and even years, tracking down and hunting their prey, to offer it to Votar, The Spirit of the Hunt. During their first trial, the aspiring Lur will have to decide on a beast of their choosing and hunt it down, while not being allowed to hunt anything else during the process, or risk failing the trial. This will demonstrate to the other members that the fledgling Lur has patience and tolerance for the hunt, as they ignore the elements and any obstacles that appear in their way. Finally, once the beast has been hunted down, the trophy must be brought back to the Clan and presented to a Lur member or the Wargoth.

 

 

・TRIAL DUB - The Trial of The Mind・

Although the hunt is an important part of a Lurs trials, nothing is as important as the mind of the young fledgling, for with a strong mind comes the ability to make critical decisions and figure out how to best overcome stressful situations. But most importantly, a strong mind is key to not letting bloodlust cloud the Lurs judgment, thus preventing them from becoming frenzied and reckless. In order to test the mind, the fledgling will be given a mixture of carefully selected drugs to consume, either via drinking or eating it. Once the drug mixture has been consumed, the soon to be Lur will be placed into a box which will be hammered down with nails, where the young fledgling will have to spend 24 narrative hours, surviving the effects of isolation, darkness and the drugs. Should the Lur overcome their mind and its tricks, they will successfully complete the second trial. However, should they give in to the tricks and the wickedness of their mind, the trial will be considered a failure.

 

・TRIAL GAKH - The Sacrifice・

The third trial is arguably the hardest trial that the future Lur will have to undergo. At the beginning of their trials, the fledgling hunter will be given a pet to care for throughout their journey, all the way up until the final trial. Once the Lur reaches the third and final trial, they will have to make the difficult choice and to sacrifice the pet that they have been caring for all this time, by offering the sacrifice to Votar, the Spirit of The Hunt. Once the sacrifice has been carried out, the soon to be Lur will be baptized in the animals blood before being given a tattoo by the Wargoth to symbolize the completion of their trial and be welcomed into the Lurs as a full member. However, should the pet die or run off, before or during any of the trials, the third and final trial will be considered a failure. The same will apply should the Lur not be able to sacrifice the animal, thus showing dishonor towards the Spirit of The Hunt.
