A week of training later...

"Let's go Darien, we don't want to be late!" Karisi states.

You follow Karisi into the heart of the Qualification rounds. You're dressed up in armor which resembles Karisi. Beige leather pants & a beige leather chest piece. You have blue swirls around your eyes with light diamond jewels around one of your eyebrows. You're wielding one short sword and one dagger, the dagger has white gems in the front bolster, the spine is a solid gold, with green jewels running alongside the exterior. You're decked out as can be and look as best as you can, well trimmed on your head and smooth shaved around your face and chest. . You have a golden chain around your hips, that doesn't do much to your figure but it helps hold your leather pants up. You are also wearing a 1 inch golden choker around your neck which drops down to a pendant, a complete circular orb, quite possibly the symbol for Karisi's house.

Karisi sits down in her chair, the Arena is quite massive. Basically, the Arena is the shape of a octagon. There are 8 different corners and each corner has two chairs in it. The battle lasts between 16 different houses. From those 16, you get 8, **** or surrender. After those 8 they are grouped into different blocks and they will fight 1v1. Suddenly there are only 4 left out of the total 16. Those 4, will vs 1v1 against the 4 finalists last year until each group wins. At that point, the final 4 will square off in one final royal rumble. 1v1v1v1. The winner takes all.

The four that were the best last year, Two from the Kingdom of Rathkin, One from the Sicilian Syndicate and one from United Irshon. One member of the Kingdom of Rathkin was killed in battle as well as the United Irshon warrior.. Which means their kingdoms get to pick a new warrior to enter in their place. Those four will be paired against the four winners of the open qualification stages. Eventually there will be only 4 warriors left, which they will brawl in a 1v1v1v1 to decide who the strongest warrior of all is.
