The Har Kuron Hurricane has descended on the Gnarlwood, and Gryselle the Slaughterer leads her band of gladiators on a mission of sanctified murder to hone their skills. The Arenai are masterful warriors, each a veteran of countless mortal duels – but they are also peerless performers, their acrobatic leaps and dazzling flourishes making every act of carnage a prayer to their bloody god. Gryselle’s coterie of killers each has her own speciality – Retaria vaults across the battlefield while Kalexis launches lightning-fast attacks with her bladed armour. Thrialla uses a barbed whip to toy with her victims, as Traxya punishes each misstep made by her opponent with her blade and buckler.
