A year ago, a grand call was given, for the fighters in Bloodloch and Spinesreach to pit themselves against one another for the sheer joy of slaughter and devastation - and many rose to the call, clashing together in a tournament that spanned months.

And now, today, as the dust settles and the tang of blood hangs heavy in the air, the fighters survey the battlefield. Wiping their eyes, the few triumphant warriors gaze around them, bodies tense, weapons bloodied and breath ragged, as they realize they remained standing alone, proud and defiant, over the broken corpses of their foes...as the final victors.
