Test of Mentorship

Overview

Build a Mentor's Sacelum and enhance it with Decrees of Mentorship, provided by those that reached Egypt via the Welcoming Islands. Each new arrival can earn up to 7 Decrees by completing Citizenship (1) and advancing their Level (6). Complete the Test of Mentorship by enhancing your Sacelum with 49 Decrees.

When a new account passes through the island and continues in Egypt, they earn 1 Decree of Mentorship for each of the first four levels they gain: 1 for achieving citizenship, and 1 for the first 3 initiations and/or principles they complete. Decrees may be picked up at any School of Leadership. These citizens may give these Decrees to people that they feel have helped them gain a footing in the game; a mentor can receive multiple decrees from a single mentee, but mentors may not apply their own to passing the test or initiation. These Decrees are then added to the mentor's Sacelum, which will grow more and more elaborate as more Decrees are added.

Only paid accounts may receive Decrees.

To pass the test, a mentor must collect 49 Decrees and add them to their Sacelum. To pass the principles, only 3 need be added.
