The Broken Hourglass Monday Update

Planewalker Games’ official website has received its usual Monday update for The Broken Hourglass, this time profiling a party-joinable character named Nekos.

Any long-time resident of Mal Nassrin knows the draw of the arena–many a dusk settles on the city with the crowd still roaring in appreciation of a marathon battle. But the spectacle has survived the test of time on its personalities as much as violence and escapism. Although the anonymous undercard combatants come and go, one name has stood out for years–Nekos.

As a gladiator, Nekos has a record of victories and titles unparalleled in the arena’s history, including the last two Champion’s Cup tournaments-feats which not only gave him the most Cup wins on record, but made him the oldest fighter ever to take the top prize. But he sees himself as more than just a champion gladiator. When he steps into the ring, he is part fighter, part orator-he has been known to lecture and engage the audience in topics ranging from the right way to tell uncooperative children bedtime stories, to the importance of saving money for lean times.

His accomplishments are indisputable. But what does the man, woman, and child on the street think of Nekos, owner of “the most recognizable arms in Narimir”?
