*************************************************** THE LAST ARENA *************************************************** Beneath a dying sun lies a forgotten planet, long since abandoned by it's inhabitants. The land lies empty and silent and a visitor here will have the rustling of the wind as his only companion. The legends speak of the Vadrigar - mighty beings from times long past and forgotten. For many aeons they ruled the galaxy, all lesser races trembling before their might and power. Hungry for blood and carnage they created the Arena Eternal to amuse themselves and held tournaments among the greatest warriors from all around the galaxy. Thousands upon thousands were killed and reborn in the endless carnage in countless blood soaked arenas among the stars. But now, the sounds of battle have long since silenced, and what became of the mighty Vadrigar no one knows. The remnants of their once great empire are scattered, and the only thing remaining are legends of times past and a few scattered, crumbling ruins. This is such a remnant, an ancient reminder of the bloodlust of a forgotten race. This battleground is old, older than the Arena Eternal itself - from a time even before the Vadrigar's rise to power. Perhaps it was here that their bloodlust was first awakened, long before they had even left the planet from where they came? Perhaps this aging planet, soon to be engulfed by the white-hot dying convulsions of it's own sun was the birthplace of this once so powerful race? No one knows, and even the legends will soon fade, and the younger peoples of the galaxy will know nothing of what has happened here. All that remains are dust and shadows. Dust and shadows of the past. But some evenings, in the hour just as the sun is about to set, if you listen really carefully perhaps you can still hear the sounds of battle in the distance, and if you look really closely, you might perhaps still see the ghosts of warriors past, continuing their battle - continuing to fight for all eternity in the Arena Eternal.
