Wyld

Overview:

The Wyld: One of three aspects of the Triat. Chaos and destruction are the goal of the Wyld. Forcible change, like the power of a cyclone, Wyldlings alter everything around them - including themselves. They are very changeable and prone to unpredictability.

Triat Mastery Quests:

Most tasks for the Wyld involve locating and defeating challenging creatures selected specifically to provide challenge to the class/level of the Initiate. Some examples have included:

• Tranquility's task to slay 30 demons (including 3 demon lords) and 3 dragons, Grandma Schon, sufficient mobs while grouped to assist 3 allies to an Ascension, the Sea Devil, and every mob within the Jester's Keep
• Solaron's challenge to group and slay every mob on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floor of the Master's Tower and three mobs from the 4th floor, along with the Rebirth of one named Anathema
• Kaldred slew the Balrog of the Master's Tower, the Dreammaster of the Dream Realm, and the Jester of Jester's Keep
• Adso was allowed the aid of one member of the Chosen of Fate for one of his tasks, the aid of one friend for the other, and for his third task, no aid at all - and his was to slay three dragons, 3 mobs with 'weaver' in the name, and three creatures of evil alignment that considered as Death.
• Katrana's challenge not only included challenges in battle - including the Spider Statute of Velalisier, the Evil One of Altibia and a dragon of the Dragon's Tower - but the deliberate dance to the death of a creature of Cordir's choosing, which was only revealed at the time of the combat: Scar, the pet of Madman, who was the ancient barrier would-be Immortals had to face before promotion to Ambassador.
