Gladiator Survival

The Burnt World of Athas, the place where this evil all began.

You find yourself in the City of Draj, capital of the great and brutal Empire. This oppressive regime had just finished the first step of it's long injustice to the humanity of others. It had set upon it's claws on ever corner of the world and was not going to lose it's grasp. The shadowy Emperor and his Grand Sorcerer had ascended this plague that was the Imperial Rule. Not much is known about the Emperor or his Sorcerer, but many rumors do exist. With no where left to conquer on the dying planet of Athas, the Emperor and his Sorcerer set their sites on the horizon. They began assembling an army for invasion, and with the liberal usage of the Sorcerers magics they were one ultra-dimensional portal away from their newly conquered realms.

Here in Draj where you find yourself now, the old guard's quarters of a re-purposed fort. With total global control there was no need for masses of forts in Athas anymore, in their place the Emperor erected massive statues and bloodied Arenas where the dull masses could satiate their own bloodlust. As an infection was their greed, they actually had the masses believing in their propaganda, their message of superiority above all other beings.

This Arena is now where you find yourself, and you will have to come to terms with it or die in the pits...
