Chapter 40: Trials of Initiation

With the establishment of the Order of the Radiant Dawn, Shājiā'ěr and his allies began the process of initiating new members into their ranks. But joining the Order was no simple task—it required dedication, courage, and a willingness to uphold the values of the sect.

To test the resolve of prospective members, Shājiā'ěr devised a series of trials designed to push them to their limits and determine their worthiness. Each trial was carefully crafted to challenge both the body and the spirit, separating those who were truly committed to the cause from those who were not.

The trials took the form of physical tests of strength and endurance, mental challenges that tested wit and intelligence, and spiritual trials that probed the depths of the soul. Only those who proved themselves capable of overcoming these obstacles would be deemed worthy of joining the Order.

As the trials progressed, Shājiā'ěr observed with pride as prospective members rose to the occasion, displaying bravery, resilience, and unwavering determination in the face of adversity. Some faltered and fell by the wayside, unable to withstand the rigors of the trials, but others emerged victorious, their spirits strengthened and their resolve unwavering.

At the end of the trials, those who had successfully completed the challenges were welcomed into the Order with open arms, their initiation marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives and the start of their journey as members of the Order of the Radiant Dawn. With their numbers bolstered by these new recruits, Shājiā'ěr and his allies stood ready to face the darkness that threatened to engulf their world, fortified by the knowledge that they were not alone in their fight for justice and righteousness.
