Tasks

Hero: If I survive?
Palomir: Before you lies three trials—endurance, intelligence, and strength. A Heritance officer must embody all three of these virtues or they're no officer. I recruited you. Don't fail me.
Hero: I won't. Which test comes first?
Palomir: Intelligence. Ohmonir proctors the test, just up the path from here. Go.
Hero: I'll find Ohmonir up the path.

Ohmonir: You've come to test your mind? Learn if you have what it takes?
Hero: Yes, I'm ready.
Ohmonir: The test is simple. I will give you a riddle. You choose from the items on these tables. One of them is the correct answer. Choose wrong? Face the consequences.
Hero: Ask your riddle.
Ohmonir: When young, I'm sweet in the sun. When middle-aged, I'm the life of the party. When old, I'm worth my weight in gold. When I'm gone, everyone laments my absence. What am I?

Ohmonir: There is still much for you to learn.
Hero: Yes, I'm ready.
Ohmonir: The test is simple. I will give you a riddle. You choose from the items on these tables. One of them is the correct answer. Choose wrong? Face the consequences.
Hero: Ask your riddle.
Ohmonir: I say much, but you cannot hear me. I open, but you cannot walk through me. I have a spine, but I have no bones. I shouldn't be judged by my face. What am I?

Answer: a book

Ohmonir: You have chosen wisely. Are you ready for another question?
Hero: Yes. Go on.
Ohmonir: Answerthis correctly and our business is done.
Hero: Ask your riddle.

Ohmonir: Now you must prove your heart's endurance. Speak to Varustante and she will begin your trial.

Varustante: Here for the Trial of Endurance? This is a race around the island, mind. Not a casual stroll. Think you can handle it?
Hero: I can handle this.
Varustante: On my mark, magical pillars will appear on a set path. Follow the markers and keep to your feet. Oh, and 'ware the imps. Little bastards have sharp teeth. Ready?

Hero: I'll be fighting other recruits?
Alandare: I don't want to hear moaning. We've a long road to walk before we remove that heretic Ayrenn. The Veiled Queen deserves only the best. So we only take the best.
