INTRODUCTION: VELASAN HELVIARN
Velasan is the current protagonist of SOULTRIAL. He is one of few Arbiters that may yet honour their oaths to King Alrik II, but he is not immune to depravity among the ranks.

In SOULTRIAL we are taking inspiration from these events and the available sources. As a treat, here is an index of German Fasching masks. Hopefully it will inspire the artists among you: www.larvenfreunde.de/maskenmuseum/
During blót it was common to sacrifice animals but there were bones found in certain areas that could indicate something like human sacrifices. Most of the times criminals or slaves were offered as sacrifices (which could also be seen as execution).
Blót (Swedish: blot) generally was a ritualistic practise, a transaction. It was a gesture of respect or request for better times and positive outcome.
Blót: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%B3t
Álfablót was a rather private celebration where the people gave an offering to the elves.

During Fasonatten, rituals are quite common (e.g. at the ritual site of lake Teckoman, south west of Sternvatten). These rituals are similar to blót and álfablót (álfablót is commonly claimed to be the equivalent of Halloween) during the viking age.
Tusen tack, Derek!
In Striga, a country where the barrier between the realm of the living and the realm of the souls is naturally thin, people must undergo a trial that may take their lives to complete. What better way than to be tested?
