Bronze Inscription (1 - 3)

==Part 1==
"The Azmeri were the first culture knonw in history to use trials of strength, wisdom and spirit to select its chieftains.
The first Lord's Trial was a rough-hewn maze festooned with wild animal snad brutal traps, crafted to test aspiring Azmerian leaders' body, mind and soul.
In conquering the adversities of the maze, a champion proved that they were capable of bearing the crushing burden of chieftainship.
The first trials were simple contraptions reflecting simple times. As the Azmerian citiliszation grew in number and complexity , so did the trials, from treacherous mazes to bewildering labyrinths.
Alas, there are no surviving descriptions of the labyrinth that tested and proved the worth of Veruso, Prima Imperialus. I imagine it was quite osmethign to behold."
- Emperor Izaro Phrecius
==Part 2==
"The Azmeri were consummate survivors. They had ot be, having been sired in the most inhospitable range of mountains in all of Wraeclast.
Unfortunate, some might say. I do not. I believe it was the making of them. And of us, their descendants.
So it is no wonder that thye developed the Lord's Trial. With survival being a moment-by-moment concern, that harried people grew to understand power quite intimately.
Strong leadership is able ot bridge the chasm between existence and extinction. Poor leadership might see an entire tribe vanish into that same chasm.
When the Azmeri descended from their moubtains to conquer the fecudn lands of central Wraeclast, They thrived and multiplied with utmost alacrity in those more forgiving climes.
For is it not povery that teaches us how we might excel in times of plenty?"
- Emperor Izaro Phrecius
==Part 3==
"The custom of the Lord's Trial was upheld throughout the founding years of the Empire. Veruso's successor, Caspiro, was a low-born legionnair, the lone surivvor of a labyrinth that claimed the lives of every high-born contender, including Veruso's only son.
Caspiro poved to be every bit the emperoro that Veruso was.
Alas, the Lord's Labyrinth was corrupted by those with the vnaity to consider their blood more precious than their Empire. Selfish blood breeds selfihs times, and the Empire paid for it with its own blood. With the Night of aThousand Ribbons. With that most regal of cannibals, Emperor Romira.
Not any more. I, Izaro Phrecius, shall return us to Justice. I shall build the greatest Lord's Labyrinth in Azmerian history, and my successor shall be shoen by the Goddess herself.
Only when the Lord's Labyrinth is drenched in selfish blood can a true leader ascend the throne."
- Emperor Izaro Phrecius
