The Immortals

Blooded sand pits, spiked chains and grand arenas where thousands of spectators watch as the ground is made wet with crimson. The Immortals is the grand league of gladiatorial fights that take place in Nehekhara. With a grand event each year, many place bets and prepare their slaves for who is to be the next ‘Immortal’.

At its very heart, The Immortal Games are a blood sport that the slave masters and fat merchants of the deserts get rich from. Many slaves die in these fighting pits, but few rise up to positions of power and fame. A good slave fighter needs to be well taken care of, and are treated like kings and given everything they could ever want if they spill blood time and time again.

Inside the Immortals
There are many small and large arenas scattered in and around Nehekhara. Each managed by a Pit Master. Slavers enter their slaves into the gladiatorial ladder of the pit, where they are put in cells and communal chambers. One that climbs to the top of the ladder becomes that arena’s champion. And at the Immortal Games, all the champions fight to the death, to become the Immortal.

Many that earn the favour of the crowd or spill gallons of blood are treated well in the pits, given fine food, expensive drink and sensual distractions that they desire.

Goals of the Immortals
The Immortals make their money from the crowds they gather to watch the blood spill. With more famed names of legendary warriors, the larger the crowds become. The ultimate goal is to make money from their fighters.

They are always searching for potential warriors, whether they buy them from slave masters or go and abduct individuals themselves.

Joining the Immortals
Joining the Immortals is simple, become a slave and be sold into the games. Or, one can willingly enter the pits if they so wish, but they will get no special treatment.
