Ok, the next question being :
Could you define what would be the test of Lord spiritual in game terms ?
(if Azhur can manage it, then why not pass it ? It would please everyone).

Anzhur's Sacred Book informs him that one should not
take up a role if they have not completed the tasks of
their previous caste. In order for one to act as a
Lord Temporal, one must first complete the tests of a
Lord Spiritual.

Anzhur's careful reading (roll 4, resistance roll 14)
suggests to him that he is able to take the title of
King, but due to his inexperience, he should not
engage in the role of kingship before completing the
tasks of a wizard.

Or at least that's what he can tell the evidently
pleased, but slightly cautious and nervous,
representatives from Loksalm.

Does that make sense?
