History of Duels

The City of Phyrra


During the last Great War between the empires of Machan and Aseti, the southern continent of Phyrras became a point of fierce contention. Claimed by both sides, Phyrras became a vast battleground. As word of these Duels reached across time and space, the city of Phyrra became the center of grand martial competition.
