[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 3036116, member: 23977"] In the poor section of a city state of Magus just off of the Street of Glimmer is an old Tavern by the name of The Guannery. It's a relatively average tavern, (aside from the fact that it's full of wizards) owned by Nurell The Wart, an elf of royal lineage sent long ago to the city of wizards by his parents in an attempt to educate the young man in the arcane arts. Unfortunately Nurrell never amounted to much of a wizard. Instead, after a lucrative career as a hired thug, Nurrell decided he would try his hand at owning a tavern. Always more interested in the physical sports, rather than the arcane, Nurrell found himself somewhat bored by the constant chatter of a mystical nature in his tavern. Yet, always when he attempted to promote the normal games and sports in his tavern (darts, arm wrestling, and general rough housing) his patrons promptly ignored them. Nurrell knew he had to find something that would attract wizards, yet not be more "boring mumbo jumbo debates." Then, late one night after watching one wizards cat familiar chased off by an empowered rat, the idea came to him. It was perfect. Soon after, Nurrel set about having a large sub basement built beneath his tavern. Within this sub basement he installed several sets of wooden bleachers, in a circle around a sandy pit. Here, unsavory wizards, or more commonly, those down on their luck, could come and have their familiars fight each other while their owners, and onlookers bet upon the outcome. The Fighting Familiars League was born. [/QUOTE]
