Rite of Proving: Difference between revisions

With the arrival of [[Empress Caiatl]] into the Solar System, the Cabal Empress, vying for power and unification over the tenuous Cabal climate, reinstated the ancient Rite of Proving - the original Rites before Calus' debauchery had corrupted it - though some of Calus' reforms did stick, and she did add some of her conditionsm, for example no criminals, debtors or scoundrels were allowed,  nor where cheap shots, tricks or unfair advantages like wounding your opponent pre-fight, as well as the option for a non-lethal fight. Caiatl offered to the remains of the Red Legion and Cabal in [[Sol]] the opportunity to join her [[War Council]] and prove themselves as mighty warriors and commanders. Many Emissaries flying her banner and contenders, Rite aspirees, would flock to her call. Notable were [[Commander Dracus]] and [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]] on Nessus, where a Proving Ground had been erected in [[The Tangle]], [[Basilius the Golem]] on [[Europa]], and [[Val Ma'rag]] in [[Cosmodrome]]. Challenged to a Rite of ceremonial combat after weeks of conflict, Caiatl would send forth [[Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl]] as her anointed representative to challenge the chosen [[The Guardian|Champion]] of [[The Last City]] in the [[Proving Ground|Proving Grounds]] inside the [[Halphas Electus]].<ref>https://youtu.be/7CSU_B7HwD4</ref><ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/war-table-challengers-proving-3?highlight=ancient+rites</ref>
