The Fourth Annual Herolutions' Guild Games!

Far to the East of Inria, war-torn lands terrorize the country sides. The Skoacian Territories continue their own civil unrests, the 10 Centuries War continues to rage on, and the Gilded Coast has come under invasion.   In the year 3012, The Knight of the Black Sun (as they call themselves) set to land ships of steel and thunder cannons of iron to ravage and destroy the country side of the Gilded Coast and Greater Us'Nye. After a mere three hour siege of Andhar, even the goblins cried for mercy as men clad in armor and with hand-held cannons that shook the very earth pushed West into the countryside. With a successful magical rite, the mages, druids, scholars, knights, and any able-bodied person has held the advance of the Black Sun to the Us'Nye and Skoacian border. There is no telling how long the Black Sun can be held back with this tactic, but the Black Sun have made no more westward progress as of late.   SIX YEARS LATER...   It is late summer in Emeristan, an the Iothuan Khanate. A bustling town called Shawcross Hold holds it's fifth anniversary of Herolutions - The Adventurer's Guild being in operation with its Fourth Annual Guild Games! Many come to the Guild Games with their parties to prove their might and earn some coin. The best of the best teams will earn a spot in the Esteemed Heroes Board, a board famous for groups such as The Crimson Sisters, Bond of Guardians, and The Mythics to name a few. Legened has it that groups that enter their names on that board are called upon for the highest of quests, some even from other Nations in Inria!   The final day of this month long festival is the penultimate effort, winner-takes-all battle in the town arena, and you have yet to prove your worth. You have done everything in your power to keep up with the troupe, and as the first in the tournament - the low-tier bracket - you must summon all your strength to be part of the guild you have worked so hard to be part of. Getting your gear ready, you pace to the Blue Bird's Nest with an eye on the crowd, looking to see who among them may join you (or let you into their group)...
