After each round, participants were asked to give individual accounts on the details of the battle in a collaborative storyline.

The BlackSand Tournament

A once flourishing city on the coast of the Salt sea called BlackSand is now facing financial bankruptcy and has called upon a council of three wizards to try to turn things around. After long contemplation the councils decides to host a tournament. A fighting event to which warriors from any land would be invited to participate and win precious gold. This tournament was meant to attract travelers and merchants in order to reignite what was once a great trading hub. The council set out to advertise the tournament, sending ravens and messengers to several cities, and promised great prizes for whoever would be crowned champion. To their surprise sixteen contestants travelled to the village and signed up to compete. And so the first tournament started! This was the first step towards what they didn’t know would become the largest ever tournament in the Runiverse in the years to come.
