Champions
How Champions were born.In the beginning when the world was full of conflict and turmoil. Teair was in constant war with itself and all the gods could do was watch in silence while the world fought with itself. Saden, tired of watching the bloodshed from his home and fearing the imbalance in the world; Approached Mylee with an idea. He told the Allfather of a way to interfere with the world, without going back on his word of ‘not interfering’ in the mortal’s realm. Mylee listened to Saden’s plan, which pleased the Allfather.
The idea was to make a Tournament to select ‘Champions’ to set out and perform acts for their chosen deity. Each champion would be honored and praised as ‘heroes’ that serve and would act on the will of the Pantheon. To aid the woes and problems in their Deity's stead when they were no longer allowed to interfere. So the moment the Allfather approved of this plan; He created the colosseum Arena within Nova. It was then that the first Champions Call Tournament began...For all who were brave, true, and willing to serve their deity fully until death, no longer needed, or deemed no longer worthy of holding the title.
Champion’s Tasks
Each Champion has a task that their deity would like them to perform during set events. The list below will aid champions on what to do if they ever are lost in what to do or if they wish to gain more favor with their deity.

Champion’s Call Tournament
How the Champions Call was Founded
When the ground work of the Arena was first being laid out; No one in Teair really understood the purpose or the grand reason behind such a grand open stadium. Most believed that the 3rd king of Nova ( enter king name here. ) had gone bloodthirsty, but after the last sandstone-brick was placed upon the stadium. The heavens opened and a winged humanoid descended to the middle of the arena. The humanoid announced the first ever Tournaments to be held within the grand walls, The Champions Call.
The Champion’s Call; Would be how the gods and goddesses decided their champions and the Guardian of this world. Of course now of days the arena is used for more than just the champions battles.
How to be a Champion
If a person wants to become a champion they must enter into the Champion’s Call Tournament held every other year within the Arena. Sign ups start at the beginning of the Harvest Sun season and last all the way through the summer months. Even though the tournament only has two events.
The First Round -
Previous Champions and New Sign Ups must compete in a challenge. A task that must be completed in a certain amount of time within the arena. The task can be whatever their chosen deity desires; Plus the terrain of the Arena can be altered to provide additional challenges to the character/s participating in the tournament. Who ever completes the task first, moves on to the next round.
The Second Round -
Congratulations your character is on its way to becoming a Champion of the people. This is the final round of the tournament and your character has been recognized by all of Teair. Now is the time for your character to really shine in the Champion’s Call tournament and show off his or her skills. The Champion’s deity will give them a task to uphold, the Champion must complete that task before the others… The first champion back to the arena after completing their task is considered the ‘ Lead Champion ‘.
The ‘Guardian’ Champion
The Guardian Champion; Also known as the winner of the Champions Call Tournament, is forever given a place within the Glade of Hero’s upon their ‘death’. The Guardian Champion is also knighted and allowed to participate within the King’s Courts during events held within the Castle. Also during times of conflict, The Guardian is usually the first to be called upon by the crown.
Fallen Champion
Fallen Champions are those who have failed their god or goddess when performing tasks or doing something out of the Deities alignment. A Champion that disgraces their deity, will eventually face punishment by their own god. In worst cases, the god completely turns their back on the mortal.
Previous Champion
In Teair; There have been many champions that have served under the Divine for generations; Though after so many years. A champion that either retires, fails their trial within the Champions Call or become Fallen will become ‘ Retired ‘. When a Champion is retired; The person is no longer responsible for their previous champion tasks. A new champion has taken their place; So retired champions can relax or they try to enter the Champions Call again to reclaim their title as Champion again.
Previous Champions that Once served the Kingdom
