The Voda Trials

The Voda Trials are a selection of trials to be taken in Epizonia by any who wish to show their elite nature as warriors and also to be eligible to challenge the Voda for ruling Epizonia. 
The trials are a secret, cultivated art for those who wish to undertake them and involve travelling across Epizonia and facing a variety of fear inducing threats that test not just a persons combat prowess but also their skill, courage, wit and cunning in the face of adversity. 
The current Voda Reyva Cairnath completed the Voda trials before displacing the previous Voda before her. 
The Trials were thought up when Epizonia were still finding their identities and way to survive and thrive in their land as a community. The need for powerful and tough warriors became more and more apparent and so that expectation was placed upon those expected to lead them.
