Since time immemorial, the Arkadian Federation has been host to a great tournament held every 10 years. From every corner of the continent, warriors flock to the City of Arkadia to participate in The Great Hunt. The vast majority of these brave adventurers come from distant lands, each bringing with them unique weapons, deadly martial arts, obscure knowledge and arcane Magic.
For thousands of years, creatures known as the Fury have been ravaging and rampaging across the continent, consuming and murdering smallfolk. The Arkadian kingdom, over millennia, has grown wealthy enough to hire these warriors in order to purge the realm of beasts. This tradition of hiring private mercenaries to deal with the Fury threat was soon adopted by the Arkadian people as a festival and group hunt, that now occurs on the First day of the Harvest-Season.
