With the support of the Church the Queen issued a statement claiming any Imperials watching Sorce users in the arena would be tainted in the eyes of the Lord. This convinced many Imperials to move away from the ARL league and shifted back to the IBL. The massive loss of revenue facing the ARL forced them into an emergency meeting. In conclusion, it was understood only two options existed. Disband the league and go back to 3 separate race Leagues or ban Sorce’s from ARL matches. They unanimously agreed to the latter. So, in 808AP Sorces were officially banned from all battle balt matches - without being allowed to see their favourite balters using their full immense powers, fans interest dwindled. By the time Tireste died, a decade later, the sport he had lived and breathed his whole life was heading into obscurity.
