Quest Summary

• Arekos Beginnings:  The party of adventurers began their journey through Arekos with little knowledge and preperation; however, they quickly learned of the heat of the grassland and the viciousness of the Scarred Pride. They traveled from city to city in hopes to make it to the capital Nerakos in order to participate in the Imperial Arena Challenges.
• Arekos Beginnings Part 2:  The group found their way into the capital city of the Arekos Savanna, Nerakos, to register for the Imperial Arena Challenges. There, they spoke with a few of the locals and stayed underneath the arena in the Challneger's Quarters as they prepared for their first challenge.
• Arekos beginnings Part 3:  Vielle, Dream Mirror, and Niore completed their first challenge; fighting a group of Blood-Toll Harpies, Burnished Harts, and two Tabaxi Warriors. Finding it rather easy, they gained the applause of the massive crowd that looked upon them, and headed to the Sunset on the Plains tavern after for a nice drink to cool their heated battle.
• Arekos beginnings Part 4:  Vielle left due to the city's indifferences to her magic, so with that troubling situation, Niore and Dream Mirror picked up an ally called Bjorn at the Sunset on the Plains tavern. It wasn't long before Dream Mirror felt an unnerving presence from one of the patrons, a tabaxi with black fur that seemingly appeared from nowhere. The group rested and completed their second challenge, proving to be slightly more difficult than the last. A Minotaur Warrior, two Aarakocra Warriors, and two Fleecemane Lions nearly made the arena Bjorn and Dream Mirror's final resting place. With that victory, the group was invited to the royal bathouse, where they talked about their improvements and relaxed in the luxurious waters.
• Arekos beginnings Part 5:  The group collected themsleves, fighting two Leonin Warriors and one Eater of Hope. It proved to be quite the challenge as the real warriors began to go toe-to-toe with the Jaytowners. After a hard fought victory, they proceeded to the lucrative "Lion's Den" a tavern for those worthy of well-fought combat. It was there they learned the importance of why they fight and what it means to the Leonin of Arekos. The next day, the final challenge arose: three Leonin of Pride Bloodtooth. With two of the members falling, it proved to be the closest battle yet, to which the opponents respected even in their time of death. Being the first outsiders to complete the Imperial Arena Challanges, the group was awarded with a chance to speak with the Emperor. It was here that they were offered a chance to rid the Savanna of the nefarious Scarred Pride, becoming members of Emperor Emotis' personal military.
