Ring of Ruin

The Ring of Ruin is a combat tournament in Armaster. The tournament organiser is Grimlock Berbiss. The tournament has been running for over a decade, and was rigged by Kurt Jenssen and Bolgr Nordberg for 6 years.

Location
The Ring is located in southern Armaster, south of Fountain Square. It is surrounded by training grounds, and weapons and paraphernalia shops.

The battles themselves take place within an arena capable of seating thousands of spectators.

Format
The Ring of Ruin follows a typical single elimination format. Contestants typically play a qualifying match before entering the official listings, and teams then face off in rounds until a winner is crowned.

Ring of Ruin teams consist of three combatants. Two combatants are permitted to use magic (typically 1 offensive spellcaster and 1 healer), but these two combatants may not both use spells from the same school of magic. A match is considered over when either all three combatants from one team are knocked out/unconscious, or one side forfeits by dropping all weapons and raising their hands.

The prize for the winning team is 5,000 gold pieces.

Notable teams
Teams that appeared in the campaign include: Kika, Fan Brightgrass and Ridley Elderstone entered the Ring as a team named the Gold Canaries during their investigation of the Ring team disappearances.
