EXTRA:

paper first trial:

Welcome to the first Trial,

In the Whispers you will be.

We hope you stay a while,

In this game of honor and dignity.

The goal of this game is quite clear, 

And for the winner we will cheer.

Become victorious by collecting the bands,

The ones that rest high above your opponents' hands.

Collect from those who have been banded,

And be warned if you return empty-handed.

If you wish to win you must have the most,

Then of your glory, we'll brag and boast.

But the end is drawing near, 

With only six moons to play.

Welcome to the Trials' sixth year,

And pray to the Plague that you will stay.
