Tests  are challenges to the citizens of Egypt issued in each Telling by The Stranger, an enigmatic fellow who may or may not have Egypt's best interests at heart.

  • Tests of each discipline may not be started until the player has completed the corresponding initiation task in that discipline.
  • Before starting a test, you must visit the appropriate university to start it.
  • Tests have a Task associated with them, that is visible in the Task menu. This will give you an introduction to the test and give you pointers on completing it.
  • As you progress in a Test, you will be awarded with Talent Points.
  • Completing a Test will give you a "rank" (i.e. a new title)
