Entrance Trials
Adaptive claims across the full Act 1 graph establish a fair starting point. Strong cadets move up quickly; no one has to prove what the Archive already knows.
The model is the advantage
Practice a system until you can see its structure anywhere—not just on one battlefield. No timer. No grind. Just the clearest next challenge.
Placement · once per cadet
Adaptive claims across the full Act 1 graph establish a fair starting point. Strong cadets move up quickly; no one has to prove what the Archive already knows.
Adaptive · interleaved
A six-claim commission mixes your target with connected skills, keeping the model flexible instead of rehearsing one move.
Hints are free. Every attempt becomes honest evidence.
Plain context · every 14 days
Four deliberately unskinned problems test whether the idea survives after the command fiction and familiar instruments are removed.
Assessment only. Answers stay sealed during the check.
Act 1 · Forgeborn
Choose any available system, or follow the Archive's recommendation.
