The first Palestra Trials were held in 2016. They were held within the Academy Nexus, within New Ta'Faendryl, which was accessed via a portal from the Faendryl Embassy in Ta'Illistim.

In 5116, the Faendryl government recognized that the large population of Faendryl living scattered throughout Elanthia was a raw, untapped resource for new Palestra.

It was decided that, periodically, the academies would send out trainers to search the lands for those with the potential to be Palestra, but had not had the luxury of presenting themselves to an academy. These individuals would be given a chance to earn a place in the ranks of the Palestra through a lesser academy if they could prove that their skills and abilities are on par with other graduates.

Blade Schalyne was sent to seek out those who had the abilities and desire and had already been living the life of a Palestra. The first candidates to qualify were Arku, Aurach, Durakar, and Noira.

At the conclusion of the Palestra Trials, Master Jahosk of Mahkra Academy granted the title of Blade (highest) to Arku, Aurach, and Durakar, and the title of Sarissa (second highest) to Noira.
