Those same rhoas also gave me a familiar token, a Silver Coin. We haven't seen these since Navali went on her extended sabbatical when they removed Prophecy League content in 3.17. Instead of exchanging them with her for Prophecies, using a Silver Coin now sends us to the Halls of the Dead where Karui champions battle one another in an eternal afterlife tournamentthink Valhalla, but with a bracket. In the same way that Forbidden Sanctum gave us a bit of a taste of what a Path of Exile roguelike might entail, Trial of the Ancestors explores the world of autobattlers like Teamfight Tactics and Dota Underlords POE currency trade.

Each Silver Coin allows you to play a match in the double elimination tournament, with each tournament lasting until all 10 AI opposing teams are knocked out or you are (there's no PvP, regrettably). With each match you can win some currency or a tattoo, with the tattoos being a new type of item introduced in the League. They let you replace nodes on your passive tree with new, tattoo-specific bonusesI've been steadily changing out all my travel nodes with 2% life tattoos, but they can also have farther-reaching effects like bumping your maximum resistance to an element or adding a bonus projectile to an attack.

If you win the tournament, you can get juicy Honored tattoos, Omens that modify the future, or new uniques. Omens have powerful single-use effects like guaranteeing the next fusing you use results in a six-link, while another I've found turns you into a Shade at low health, potentially saving you from sticky situations. There's definitely some perks to being the champ POE goods.
