The Deceived

"The Splendor of Netheril shall never fade. Esteemed powerhouses who have successfully entered the Legendary tier, without question, every one of you is among the most accomplished prodigies of this age. However, amid this surging tide of change, we have encountered new challenges. Perhaps the power of the Legendary tier is indeed formidable, but it is ultimately insufficient on its own. The strength of our brand-new enemies must not be underestimated. To achieve a perfect victory, our civilization requires more God Seat-tier existences... Therefore, after deliberation by the Netheril Archmage Council, we have reached a final decision: all God Seat Archmages will begin accepting apprentices, cultivating more outstanding talent for Netherese Civilization. Under this plan, an estimated one thousand groups of apprentices will study deeper mysteries concerning the soul under the seven God Seat Archmages. These thousand groups of Legendaries will all have the opportunity to receive guidance and experience on advancing to the God Seat tier, and they will become the most vital backbone of future battlefields! However, Netheril has far too many Legendary professionals, while the Archmages occupied with warfare possess far too little time and energy. Therefore, the Archmage Council will select only the most exceptional talents and the finest among elites as students. The way to prove your status as an 'elite' is to pass the trials established by the God Seat Archmages in your respective regions—by the honor of the Archmage Council and The Splendor of Netheril, all trials shall be fair, impartial, safe, and reliable. Any Legendary professional may participate in these trials free of charge. If you successfully complete a trial, you shall become the apprentice of a God Seat Archmage. Even those in poor condition who fail the trials need not worry, because the trial process will absolutely provide sufficient safeguards. Once
