Beyond dark dunes of desert stretched a land vast as the waters of a great sea, yet rich and green in its breadth.
From within it rose the thunder of celebration—the bursting cheers of the god Arena, filling the air like rolling storms. The god Arena, as it was known, was said to be vast enough to contain even the searing presence of KalGra, the Sun Deity himself. Today, its seats were filled to overflowing, packed with spectators numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Such a gathering had never been seen—not even in the founding days of Kirata.
