Crops were social units among the population of Amonkhet. They were composed of teams of up to twenty persons that underwent the Trials of the Five Gods together.[1][2]
History
People regardless of race that lived within Naktamun were assigned their crop at the age of five. These early crops worked together to construct an obelisk. When they finished it, the "Ceremony of Measurement" presented them before the gods. They looked into their hearts and revealed who was worthy to attempt the trials. Those found worthy were reassembled into a new crop, while those that were found wanting were directly culled. This was referred to as the "Day of Harvesting", usually around the time when they turned twelve. Crops trained together and usually worked to balance each other out. When members died or proved themselves to be dissenters, others from culled crops were joined with them to replenish their numbers. All within a crop were first called "acolytes" and in a later stadium "initiates"[3]
While some trials, especially the early ones, stressed the value of working together and strengthening the esprit de corps of the worthy, others, like the later ones, instead put them against each other. In the end, only one member of a crop could prove worthy and pass Hazoret's final trial and be rewarded with the afterlife.
When it became apparent that the warriors were resurrected as Eternals, it turned out that Bolas's Dreadhorde was also organized in crops.[4] These crops were defeated along with Nicol Bolas.
