Thessaly Death Match

Lore

"The heavens trembled, the sun and the moon grew dark and the stars lost their brightness. Warriors bathe in the blood of their kin. Battle cries echoed all over Thessaly as the sun dipped below the horizon. The fleeting colors of dusk faded away like the souls of the warriors who died in vain; their divine weapons and golden armors turned into crimson relics."

Everything went in accordance with Lemulia’s cunning tricks and evil plans. First, she restored the cursed island of Thessaly where the gods once clashed and then framed a tournament with a tempting reward- the mythical Box of Pandora. She announced that whoever opens the box will have an everlasting life and a power strong enough to challenge cosmic beings. Unfortunately, the trick was successfull, as it lured the mightiest warriors of the land. The promise of immortality and godlike power was so strong that they turned against each other, beheaded their own masters, and slaughtered their own brothers. This time, no one saw past Lemulia’s veil of deception. Not a single person caught the wicked smirk on her face as she covertly collected the souls of the fallen.

The first warriors who rose triumphantly were indeed rewarded with Pandora’s Box. It gave them sacred armors and celestial weapons with unparalleled strength. Sadly, they did not have the faintest idea that those items were actually infused with Lemulia’s lust for blood. Once worn, the bearer’s thirst for blood and battle would be uncontainable compelling them to join the death match over and over again until their very last breath.

The evil sorceress was successful in her plot. The event became known to all men and was later on dubbed the “Thessaly Death Match”. For many years, Lemulia collected the souls of the Thessalian fighters who died in the tournament. Until one day, with the help of Antonias, a foolish lord blinded by ambition, the sorceress was able to harness enough souls to break the Seal of Entramu.
