Welcome, Chosen of the Gods!
The Background
In the beginning, the world was under the guidance of many deities. These powerful gods ruled various aspects of life, from agriculture to death, from war to peace, from the heavens to the sea. The power of these gods depended on their followers, however, and when the heretic Enoch Venebon denounced their existence, their power began to fade. As Enoch gained more worshippers, the old gods strength weakened. Almost all of the deities vanished because of this, though a few maintained enough followers to survive.
One thousand years later, Venebon's descendants still rule the planet, claiming themselves to be the only divine influence. Yet there are still those loyal to the old ways, and this has upset the royal family. Prince Reliel, the current ruler, has proposed a tournament between the chosen ones of each surviving deity, so as to prove who has the most powerful god. Whoever wins will have his or her deity officially recognized, but anyone who fails must forsake the old ways and worship the deified Enoch, and all of their followers must fallow suit. If they refuse, they and their followers will be executed, in accordance to a contract that every participant must sign prior to the competition.
The Competition
Prince Reliel and his two younger brothers (Matziel and Alanar) will oversee the competition. The fights work in a tiered system, where the winners of one round will battle each other in the next, and so on thereafter. In the semi-finals, the four remaining fighters will team up against the younger two Venebons; the last fighter(s) standing will take on Reliel himself.
Roleplaying the competition: It is up to the players to decide who will win in a given fight. I recommend using the Post Action feature and rolling a d100; highest number wins.
The Arena
The fights will take place in the Harena Maxima. This enormous battleground is akin to the Colossium in its structure and layout: there are rows upon rows of seating above, a battle stage in the middle, and bunkers below. Battles may only take place in the arena, and it has been blessed (by the Great Enoch, of course) so that no participants fighting there will die.
In roleplaying terms: Fighters cannot be slain in the arena, so even if your character loses the fight by getting disintegrated, he will survive. This rule only applies to the arena, however, so the street is fair game for a to-the-death melee.
The Bazaar
The bazaar is a marketplace that has popped up almost over night around the Harena Maxima. Here, competitors may by food, drink, room and board, and even battle gear to be used in the fights. Some of the merchants are a bit shady, however, and there are many cutpurses running the streets, eager for an easy mark. The bazaar includes several taverns, smithies, and trinket stalls to keep its patrons amused and peniless.
In roleplaying terms: This area is a sort of common room where in-character conversations can be held outside of the battle field.
The Venebon Mansion
No one is allowed in the mansion unless invited by one of the brothers. Alanar is rumored to be very fond of bringing "peasants" back with him, though no one is certain whether or not this is true.
In roleplaying terms: Don't worry too much about the Venebon mansion. I included it as a location so characters can discuss various rumors about it. Don't be surprised if you do get an invite from one of the brothers though.
