Bala Zymis

The most popular sport in Kipos is Batter Ball, a game in which two teams each defend their tower while trying to topple their opponents’. The game is simple enough, but the catch is the balls used in the game. These balls were former weapons of war used to destroy Helix’s walls, but now they are used in the exciting sport. The balls naturally float a few feet off the ground, and they conserve momentum exceptionally well, in fact, this is how the game is played. Teams try to imbue a quickly moving ball with as much energy as possible before redirecting it into the enemy tower. Different balls on the field have different properties, and there are a variety of different rule-sets and balls depending on the region.   In most regions, lethal force is prohibited, but some of Turiel’s more crazed followers believe death in the sport is a form of glorious ritual sacrifice.   Batter ball is not just popular in Kipos, the sport has spread all over the world, and it is one of the games at the Apex Ludos Tournament.
