Nayark

Nayark is a sport that has great significance to the Zelmors . The game is played on a large field that is 500 meters long and 200 meters wide. The objective of the game is to score points by hitting targets that are strategically placed throughout the field.   There are a total of 12 targets, 4 in the central zone, worth 3 points, 4 in the right zone, worth 2 points, and 4 in the left zone, worth 1 point. The targets are made of a material that can be easily pierced through, the arrows are light and dull, unable to inflict a fatal wound.   The sport is played with a team of 5 players, each with their own specialized role. There is a defender whose job is to protect the targets from the opposing team's hunters, he usually stands behind the targets. The scout is responsible for finding and identifying the location of the targets, while two hunters are tasked with hitting the targets with the arrows. There is also a captain who leads the team and makes strategic decisions   The game begins with toss to determine which team will start their hunters. It's played in rounds, with each team taking turns attacking and defending. When the hunters attack, they have 3 minutes to hit as many targets as possible. After the attack, there is a break of 1 minute for the teams to switch roles. There is always a scout on the field, keeping an eye on the targets and helping the team strategize. The captain has the final word on the strategy and carefully observes how the game goes, he is in charge of making decisions.   Nayark is a game that requires skill, strategy, and teamwork. It's a popular sport among the Zelmors, holding great significance, with competitions and tournaments held regularly. It's a symbol representing their mastery of archery and their deep connection to the hunt, representing their ability to work together and achieve their goals. It's also seen as a way to honor their ancestors who used similar techniques to hunt and survive in the wild and is often connected to Thallos.
