I found myself within the temple's innermost sanctum, the chamber of trials where prospective Divitium Nava candidates had to prove their worthiness before undergoing the rite. There, a voice spoke to me, like it was coming inside my own head, and told me of the trials and what I would have to undergo. I have to believe this was the very same voice that guided them through all those millennia ago. The first set were physical trials, testing my constitution and form. Exhausting, but at least they're behind me.
