20.11.163 The Squal

The Squal was meant to be Aetolia's next premiere battle event brought into existence by Giovelli Rederan, its scale larger than any seen before. 

That is, until the Keepers took over.

Having claimed and cleared the site formerly known as Ciem, Giovelli constructed an enormous set of walls designed to house an entire town within. Participants in the yearly event would be lowered down into the walls of the Squal and tasked with one simple objective: be the last one standing. In exchange for their bravery, cunning, and skill, the sole person left alive would be rewarded piles of gold, fame, and a single wish that Giovelli was capable of delivering upon.

As the massive would-be arena's construction had come to a close, buildings sprawled out where naught but ruins sat before, and a renegade clan of miscreants searching for a home saw an unprecedented opportunity landing in their laps.

Gathering up their clan, they charged forward through the walls to lay claim to the arena, slaughtering any and all who stood between them and it. Having settled into the compound proper, they have since dubbed themselves the Keepers of the Squal.

Their own attempts at eviction proving futile, Giovelli and his wife Sutra have enlisted the help of adventurers to clear out the miscreants once and for all to reclaim the massive compound they have built together.
