Dialogue

The Trialmaster is voiced by David de Lautour.

Introduction

Long have I awaited a suitable challenger. My master, Chaos, has charged me with this task. Many have attempted my trials in search of greatness. Scholars, criminals, heroes, and the meek. All have stepped forward, and most have fallen. The rules never changed for them, and the rules will not change for you. Bring only that which you can afford to lose - including your life.

The Temple

This once-mighty temple was the bridge from mere peasant to high priest. All were welcome to attempt the Trials of Chaos, and those that attained a true victory were gifted a small measure of power to help forge their own destinies. That is still true, though we have far fewer challengers in this era.

Chaos

My master is the essence of all that might be. They are the flip of the coin, and they are the roll of the die. Whether you win or lose, their purpose is still served. And yet—your chances can be influenced by your skill, by your intellect, and by your might. That is what fascinates Chaos. Skilled mortals can bend their chances, for in the headwinds of the unknown, the arrow of a master falls more assuredly than the arrow of a novice. Show them your mastery, and they will smile upon you. Surprise them with utmost talent, and they may even laugh. Fortune will rain upon those who bring humour to Chaos.
