Photia's Blood
Being one of the easiest Proving Trials and Vadi monuments to visit, Photia's Blood is commonly visited to pay respects to Photia, or to see if any new Kriggy or Tartyn have emerged from her blood. The most common visitors are the Nucleus Tartyn, who give most of their life and love to the one who searched for them.
The Proving Trial of Photia's Blood is all about how long one can endure pain to show their strength and resilience against one of the most deadly threats known to the Tartyn. After eating a mixture of herbs and gems put together by the alchemists in Sestine, a Stellaborn can enter the lava flows without harm, yet the pain will still sear through the strength of the concoction. To succeed in Photia's eyes is to withstand the heat for an hour, then submerge themselves entirely for another 10 minutes.
Those who make it to the submersion say that Photia herself greets them, granting them a blessing of reprieve and comfort in the warmth of her embrace, however there has been no positive confirmation that Photia has awoken from her 400 year slumber.
