"You stand here today for your skill and prowess. Sent by your nation, or recruited by an agent of the White Lotus, you are here for a reason." A grey-haired man addresses a crowd of dozens. Warriors, healers, inventors, some even thieves and crooks. "You will be trained and tested. Only the best of you will be chosen to aid The Order of the White Lotus in our efforts to maintain peace and prosperity in this world. You may not yet understand what this means, but fight hard and you soon will."
The compound in they were brought to resides in a remote area. None who were sent, or recruited, are aware of exactly where they are. All they see is mountains and forest. Secrecy aside, it is beautiful.
"My name is Yuzhe. I will be one of your masters throughout this trial." White, unseeing eyes drift across a sea of faces. "I was once a soldier loyal to the Fire Nation, now I owe my allegiance to the White Lotus and this world."
Spring has begun to emerge, bringing gentle winds and blooming flora to the compound. It is quiet, perhaps even serene. Far removed from the noise of any city. The structure itself is quite large and expansive. Although the group has yet to see any servant, it is clear everything is well maintained.
"State your name and allegiances as I have done," Yuzhe orders. "And we will see where your loyalties lie by the end of your trials."
