“The Proving Trials are a vital part of a Tartyn's rise into adult hood, to both test the Tartyn and to show their respect to the Vadi that made us. It is important for us, but for any other Stellaborn who wishes to try, all I can do is wish them luck.” - Queen Batea

This book is a copy of an ancient text by the Tartyn who had no name explaining the Proving Trials. The original, hand-written copy is kept safe and locked away in the Laurel Institute in Demithos. It has been translated from ancient scribbles to the common Esuric thanks to Queen Batea for studying the one with no name's original written text.

Ever since I have emerged from Photia's Blood, watching my fellow Tartyn join me from the red and orange depths, it has become apparent to me that I am not special. I am not the only being meant to carry on the tasks of my Vadi alone, yet I am the only one who understands their truths. I am the only one who can translate their language to that of my people so that they might understand the importance of their kindness over the impurity of the ones who have forgotten us.
