The Muramite Proving Grounds
The Muramite Proving Grounds are a vast steel-walled labyrinth where young Muramite warriors pass their final trials or die, so that only the strongest lead Discord’s hordes.
Pass or be destroyed
At the end of their training, young Muramite warriors must prove themselves here. Either they pass or they are destroyed, which keeps the hordes of Discord led only by the strongest. Battlemaster Denik, Blind Hunter Rekamu and Aneuk tyrannists stand among them.
The six Projections
The Projections of Arcana, Body, Mind, Power, Realms and Tactics each offer a group trial and a raid trial in small instances. The group trials are Destruction, Efficiency, Fear, Ingenuity, Subversion and Weaponry. The raid trials are Adaptation, Corruption, Endurance, Foresight, Hate and Specialization, and all of them are part of the access quest for the Asylum of Anguish.
Prisoners of the grounds
Dragorn talk of the grounds with dread. Lenarsk speaks of someone tortured in the twisted Proving Grounds, and Trelak on the Wall of a serene place where captives are now tormented. This is where the legion that Mata Muram built tests itself.

Where it sits
The zone-line files join the grounds to the Wall of Slaughter to the south-west. Riftseekers’ Sanctum is entered from the middle of the grounds. Our map puts it as an icon to the north-east, where the in-game map shows it. The zone suits characters of about level 65 to 75.
