The Day, Fenclade Citadel's Colosseum
The air around the Fenclade Colosseum in Gorhal is thick with anticipation and the scent of sweat, steel, and dust. The gathered beastmen had fallen silent. Not even the wind dared to stir as two figures faced each other in the wide stone circle: Leonhart, the Beast King, towering and broad-shouldered, his golden eyes glowing with wild hunger; and Roxanne de Borgia, the Demon of the North, calm and poised, her crimson gaze unwavering.
Both stood facing each other, no weapons. The beastman honors empty-handed battles more than those fought with weapons, and Roxanne respects this honor. The rule is clear: no magic, no weapons. Only strength, skill, and will.
