⚔️ THRESHING DAY AT WIGHTERSTONES⚔️

The time had come. Six trials stood between our guests and the answer to one very important question…

🐉 Which dragon chose you?

Our brave contenders stepped into the arena to survive the Threshing - facing six very different trials designed to test memory, precision, courage, and skill.

These trials included:
📜 The Archive Challenge - could they remember a selection of 21 completely random objects, or would the pressure of the Threshing make them forget?

🏹 The Infantry Trial - a true test of aim and accuracy with archery.

🔥 Six trials. Six chances to prove themselves. One dragon waiting at the end…

And when the dust settled, the chosen dragons were finally revealed. 🐲✨
