Set forth by the System, the Trials of Levelling challenges intelligent species incapable of leveling to be "worthy of levelling. Similar to how classes and Skills come, the Trials and their conditions are announced as a revelation every ten years to all members of the species. The System keeps track of a species' progress in completing the trials, generating a report every year. After completing the Trials, the species is then appraised by the Grand Design, to be either accepted into the system or rejected. People with classes and levels are incapable of knowing or understanding the existence of the Trials of Levelling: they can't hear if someone is talking about the Trials, while any writings are perceived as blank.<ref>[[Chapter 9.32]]</ref> This suppression of knowledge also extends to members of species who failed the Trials. In that same vein, levelless people, or "Rulebreakers" can acknowledge the existence of the Trials. | Set forth by the System, the Trials of Levelling challenges intelligent species incapable of leveling to be "worthy of levelling.

Millennia ago, Dragons built an eight-hundred foot tower made out of gems, Adamantium, and Dragonbone in one of the Dragonthrones, though it was later destroyed by a Tier 8 spell. But when the Dragons were appraised to join the system of levelling, they were rejected.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/16/interlude-levels/ Interlude - Levels]</ref> Similarly, on orders of the [[First Grand Queen]], the Antinium built a tower made out of gemstones and marble in their Hives, implied for the completition of the Trial of Creation. | |||
Six hundred and twenty-four years ago, Sariant Lambs were presented with the Trials of Levelling. However, they have had difficulty completing it due to their weak bodies and inability to survive on their own. They once tried to build a tower that stood fifty foot before it was burned down by [[Rhisveri Zessoprical]].<ref>[[Chapter 9.06]]</ref> Their progress thus far is that they've earned the respect of 6 individuals level 57 or above, and the tallest tower they've built is 214.4 feet in height.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
