After doing the first round of Palestra Trails and seeing how things have worked out, I felt that a small modification needed to happen with the documentation. Wandering Palestra are a whole new type of Palestra and in the experimental stages as far as NTF is concerned.

It gives PC's a place to go and build. You can see the new section that has been added below.


==Trials of Honor==

A Palestra's training may last a few decades or as long as a century. It depends on the academy and the aptitude of the student. The average time spend in the academy is about thirty years. Many students never complete their training or are removed from the academy for lack of skill, progress, or any number of other reasons, including death.

When a Palestra is ready to leave the academy, they participate in the Trials, where they are put in an arena to fight other Palestra and eventually show their skills against the demons. When the Trials are over, they are give a title of rank. This will become one of the ways a Palestra will introduce themselves to other Palestra and will help in determining authority. This will also be a bargaining tool when discussing payment with a potential client.

Most Palestra begin at the first tier of rank, Paele, although there are always exceptions. During trials, any Palestra may ask to be retried and reevaluated. If they have grown and matured in skill and training, they may be allowed to rise in rank.

Titles earned at the Trials in order from lowest to highest:

*Paele — Symbol: two clasped hands
*Peltast — Symbol: a shield
*Sarissa — Symbol: a pair of crossed spears
*Blade — Symbol: a pair of crossed blades
