God Trials
The Trials of the Five Gods are the core of the faith of the people of Amonkhet.
Description
The Trials of the Five Gods are a series of tasks performed on the plane of Amonkhet that each inhabitant of the world aspires to complete. An initiate who undergoes a trial is awarded a Cartouche upon it's completion.[1] Only the best of the best attain the "worthy dead" and have the honor of being personally killed by Hazoret after completing the 5th trial. It is thought that upon his return, Bolas will grant an afterlife to the worthy dead.
Here are the Trials in the order that the citizens of Amonkhet complete them:[2]
- The Trial of Solidarity (
) — This Trial tests your ability to work with others. - The Trial of Knowledge (
) — This Trial tests your mental capacity. - The Trial of Strength (

) — This final Trial is a fight to the death.
