The Chapter annually travels to the planet to conduct the Festival of the Bloodied Fist. Through the course of this ceremony, candidates are subjected to a battery of trials that are used to evaluate their martial, mental, and spiritual prowess. The few who make through the trials are then required to travel deep into Blackwater’s toxic swamps and kill a barb dragon with their bare hands. Each year, there are few who manage to complete this brutally challenging test.[1]
