About This Activity
With Yana, Franklin, Macy and counselors of the Band of Storms! For years the idiotic and ridiculous Emir of Kharga wielded power with an iron fist. He provided bloody tournaments for the satisfaction of both nobles and wealthy merchants. The competitions were also designed to entertain (and plague) the common people of Iztan, to terrify them away from insurrection and beguile them with prizes of wealth and societal advancement. Now it is spring in Iztan and the annual Battles Royale have opened in the capitol of Kharga. Some forced to fight in this violent circus are commoners imprisoned for alleged revolutionary plots. Many are petty criminals and cutthroats from the back streets. A few are young farmers who volunteer for fame and fortune. All seek to win the ultimate trophy: the Reliquary of Khaliz Adhor, which is rumored every 100 years to grant a wish of dynastic wealth to whomever holds it at sunrise on the summer solstice. But something larger stirs in the Empire of Iztan this year underneath the bloody games of distraction... Battle-icious and theatrical, you will create a character and join the tournaments! You are an Iztani gladiator seeking the patronage and support of wealthy lords who will bet on your advantages and earn rewards as you entertain them in various bloody challenges! But the taxes they heap upon you may be arduous! Will you content yourselves with the prizes you are likely to win? Or will you organize a revolt from the battle pits, overthrow the Emir and change the social order forever?
