The Light of Dawn Tournament 2016 - Week 1 Update 1.0

Here is a progress update for the Light of Dawn Tournament for all those who chose not to participate!  


As of yesterday the Champions entered the Labyrinth of Champions and are headed to the central keep of Drak'Tharon.  Only three may enter the dreaded citadel of Drak'Tharon, while the others will be thrown to the proverbial wolves in the catacombs below, the dreaded and vile Gun'Drak.  

Drak'Tharon was once a Kingdom, existing 2000 years before the present day, three centuries before the first benders from Nippon even arrived in the Four Nations and colonized them, turning them into the original four nations of the world.  Legends state that the people of Drak'Tharon possessed a magical power that was strong, but costly, and eventually it corrupted all who used it and the kingdom fell apart, destroyed.

It was discovered again after the end of the 100 Year War; scholars from the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom entered into a joint archaeological study of the island, located just a few hundred kilometers from the shores of Chameleon Bay.  Unfortunately the first two waves of scholars never returned.

Fire Lord Zuko deemed the place cursed, locked the doors of Drak'Tharon keep forever and erected a massive labyrinth of black stone around the keep, to forever lock in the evil that it contained.  Since then, all and any records of the kingdom, save for the few hidden away by greedy collectors, were destroyed and it was forgotten to the world forever.

Until now...discovered again by the Dawn Crusade and the Spirit King, it was transported to a small Island off the coast of the Shadow Lands, now called the Dawnguard Isle, and turned into the site of the Light of Dawn Tournament, to test the mettle of heroes and champions of the world.

Now the Champions have been unleashed into the Labyrinth, and are expected to reach the centre.  But what will they find inside?  Well...we shall see.  But be warned...Drak'Tharon is not for the faint of heart.
