What a tumultuous time it is in this world. An empire at war, ancient protectors showing what many feel to be their true colors, strangers falling from the sky -- the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I am not of this world, though it bares similarities to my own -- namely a prominent disdain for the other and ridiculous class differences -- as much it it shows its differences. Empires rise and fall; I admittedly have little interest in wars that have played out hundreds of times in similar ways across hundreds of worlds.

However, I do want to know what you find interesting about this world, if you will share.

I imagine no winner of the Ground Tourney expected what happened in Adamant to happen to them.

Would it still be held, in such a time of turmoil?

Most likely, yes. The Mage-Templar War didn't stop it, they just kept the fighting off the grounds. As long as the cities of the Free Marches aren't at war with each other, and there's no real reason for them to be at the moment, they'll happen. People need an outlet.

Perhaps one could convince the Inquisition that it would be good to send a party to the next tournament, both to recruit and to be seen in a positive light.

Inquisition road trip? I like the way you think.

It certainly makes sense, when shone in the aforementioned light. [ c: ]
