A %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% in the shape of three rounded, silver arches, just tall enough to walk under, sitting on a thick silver ring with their ends touching each other. It was found during the [Trolloc Wars]. It sits in one of the lowest levels of the [White Tower] and is used to test a [novice] who is being promoted to [Accepted]. The three arches present visions related to one's past, present and future fears. It is not clear if the visions have any relationship to reality.


There is a second, similar %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%% in [Rhuidean] in the shape of three touching rings. It is part of the testing for becoming an [Aiel] [Wise One|Aiel]. The three rings in [Rhuidean] show possible futures.
