Zanik: I felt I should o and pay my respects to Astrid's/Brand's family. She...didn't deserve what happened.

Zanik: But the Fremennik wouldn't talk to me. They just turned their nose up at me and called me 'Outsider'.

Zanik: Where I felt was quite rude.

Zanik: But one of them slipped up, they mentioned that you can be considered Fremennik if you can complete certain trials and win the respect of the council.

Zanik. So that's what I set out to do.

Zanik: It wasn't easy to get them to talk to me, to even hint at the trials, but I won them over.

Zanik: The first person wanted me to drink a vast quantity of beer. I really don't think he took into account the stomach of a cave goblin.

Zanik: He murmured his vote from under the table.

Zanik: The trial of perception was surprisingly easy, big eyes helps I guess.

Zanik: The only trial that was particularly difficult was the trial of the warrior.

Zanik: A mahjarrat! I had to punch a mahjarrat. Punching their faces hurt and I am not the best pugilist in the world.

Zanik: It took a while, but I completed seven trials and had secured seven votes.

Zanik: Which means that the council can consider me an honourary member of their clan. As soon as they submit their votes.

Zanik: I expect the confirmation letter any day now.

Zanik: They do seem to take a long time submitting their votes.
