In the aftermath of Mahaadi's invasion of Faethorn and a civil war
between Goldenclaw and Dawnburst, the Basin of Life found itself pressed
against the knife's edge of Kethuru's destructive power. Indeed, the
Seals of Knowledge, Chaos and War had cracked, and it was time for the
Trials of Ascension once more. Avechna, the Avenger revealed Himself to
the First World and explained the tasks ahead, beginning, of course,
with the Trial of Chaos.

All over clamoured the tiny feet of hamsters, but the one most-prized as
the Purple Hamster of Chaos that switched hands time and time again. In
the first moments of the Trial, Ciaran Pavok of Hallifax claimed the
embodiment of Chaos; however, he was slain and such a treasure passed to
the hands of Xenthos An'Ryshe. Then it went from Lerad, to Taevyn, to
Lysistrata, to Malarious and Ixion. The inhabitants of the First World
laid their fortresses within Vesucia Island and Spectre Isle. However,
unbeknowst to all, the Hamster travelled to the Czigany Wayfaire - a
momentary detour before it was claimed once more by Kalas Ixion. As the
Trial grew late, more hands took hold of the Hamster, before being
switched between Arimisia, Taevyn and Gero within its last moments. But
at the last minute, Taevyn Ladyn of New Celest captured the rodent at
the Liran road, proving that he was the Champion of Chaos!
Congratulations, Taevyn!
