Spire Tyrants Background Tables
Source: Warcry Core Book 2019 (out of print)
In the fighting pits of the Varanspire there are no such concepts as honour or valour, and none have mastered the art of sadistic slaughter as completely as the Spire Tyrants.
Even the blood and thunder of the arena ceases to hold any allure for such warriors. Instead, they seek greater tests, venturing out into the lethal wilds of the Eightpoints. There they look for worthy foes and challenges, hoping to earn infamy enough to gain the favour of the Everchosen. These champions retain the names and epithets they earned in the arena. They also maintain the arrogance and showmanship that defines the greatest gladiators, favouring bloody eviscerations and decapitations over a simpler, more efficient kill. The sight of such a gruesome death can steal the nerve from even a veteran fighter.
