-In the Test of the Messenger, players across Egypt work together to assemble a message from the gods that has been split into fragments.  These holy messages describe ancient and long-forgotten rituals used to pacify and please various gods.  The goal of the test is to fully assemble a message and carry out the instructions therein, which describe a complex ritual that must be completed with a partner.  Complete five such rituals to pass the test.

 Note that while the fragments players receive are randomly given, the ritual is always performed in the same order from message to message (Find the altar, Actions, Prayers, Sacrifices).  The specific altar, actions, prayers, and complex item sacrifices change from week to week but the order of the ritual as noted above remains constant (also, the complex items will always be of the same type.  In the example above, fish scales were the item type, but the two scales were different colors.  A different message on a different week might require for example two moss, each with a different required attribute.)
