The Proving Grounds XXIII Promo!
Eorzeans and guests from near and far, the time once again is upon us for the running of the Proving Grounds! Only a few suns separate you from the bone-crunching, blood-spilling, skull-shattering feast for the eyes that only the premiere venue of violent glory can bring! A truly unique night in ‘Grounds history is set to unfold staring old faces in new roles, new challengers hunting for glory, and hungry veterans ready to grasp their first Rosewood Dagger! All under the care of a very special guest Games Master that you won’t want to miss!
The night will start with the man recently disqualified from taking part in a dagger match, Eigengrau Hatasashi face off against former Games Master turned fighter, I’llia Mitnu in her debut as a combatant. Will the fan-wielding xaela dancer take steps towards redemption, or will his opponent be there to announce his defeat herself?
Next we have perhaps the most lopsided weight class matchup in the history of the Proving Grounds; Tiny-Terror-turned-guard-turned-fighter Scorching Orchard and her mouthful of distressingly sharp teeth will be taking on none other than the champion herself, Bremwyda Abylnpfefwyb! As only the second lalafell to take the sands, Orchard is going to have an actual mountain to climb as her first trial, but the sea wolf has been on a losing streak since their change of weapons. It’s anyone’s match!
The third match of the pre-lims marks the return of the De’uden’s feral fighter ‘Dagger’ and his beast-like savagery against newly minted fighter Den Ashfell! While it’s always good to see fresh meat take the sands, one can only hope he can manage against one of the most aggressive creatures involved in the Proving Grounds, and her fighter!
And the last of the early matches brings us the battle-smith A’lera Tristelle in her second appearance in the Proving Grounds aiming to smash expectations against long-toothed veteran and recent Rosewood Dagger winner Delesta Dorel and her punishing cesti! A pair of blunt-weapon specialists set for a proper bruising contest to usher in the semi-finals can’t be missed!
Don’t find yourself left listening to others tell the tales of glory, come watch the victors claim their glory as it happens! Bring your friends, your kids, even your pets! It’s a blood sport for the whole family! This has been Pressed Ham encouraging you all to come take in the bounty of blood on ((Saturday, May 28th at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST)) in the 1st Ward of the Goblet, South of the Brimming heart!
