Editing The Wasaliak Incident

The Wasaliak Incident is famous among all the [[Warrior Core and Lord Gladiators Association]] worlds that interact with each other and is a cautionary tale concerning the Saints of Battle.

The incident occurred in Wasaliak, a world connected to the Tosian/York Realms through [[Mac's Bar]].  The Order of the Saints of Battle were informed that the the [[WCA & LGA]] had been established in a capital city in Wasaliak and had been active for 40 years. They fought under the 10 Blood rule of Victory. Among the awards frequently given to Lord Gladiators and Lords of the Games was the gold Saint of Battle Insignia and a granting of the right to call themselves Saints of Battle.  

Suddenly 40 Saints of Battle arrived with entourage and entered the great stadium of the Games. Among the leaders of the expedition  were King Alexandir Kos Korag, Duke Dolki Fairhand, Baron Zatonic the Large, Dame Geata Rockbreaker, Duke Jake whitetail, and Duke Kirgor the Red.  Their herald was Thrice [[Crowned Bard]] Duke Fortunadas Foxmate, a six time Saint of Battle himself.  Duke Fortunadas challenged any wearer of the Saint's sigil to single combat.  He announced that to their knowledge 310 wearers of the Sigil were using it with out their permission, including 40 of their Lords of the Games and they had come to do combat.  He suggested the symbol be replaced with another one not in conflict with their order.  The Wasaliak Association responded that their use of the symbol was in their own realm and of no connection to the Tosain Order. Duke Fortunadus argued that the Saint's of Battle awarded tthe worthy on thouands of worlds but that Wasaliak was not one of them, though if they wished to be it was easy to arrange.  There was some harsh words spoken and only the great strength of Zatonic the Large kept King Alexandir from open bloodshed. {Incidentally, it has been jokingly suggested that Zatonic should receive another sigil for defeating Alexandir in wrestling!}

Within the year all 40 Saints of Battle had progressed to the Gladiator ranks.  By the next year all 40 had reached Lord Gladiator status.  Then all 40 challenged the sitting lords wearing the ''Saint'' emblem and defeated them in short order.  After two years all but 10 resigned their lordships and left the realm forever.   

''Here is the skinny.  [[Mac's Bar]] was a place where a lot of GM's could attach their worlds and let players from different worlds come from their worlds to adventure.  At one point about 15 or 16 Gms were connected to it and character moved back and forth frequently from 1980 to 1989.

''One of the GMs ran Wasaliak.  I can't remember his name this many years later.  He had played in my games, liked the Saints of Battle thing and used it in his game.  I tried to talk him out of it but in the end he said it was his world, his game.  So 4 of us brought our Saint of Battle Pcs and invaded his game.  It was pretty fun and he appreciated the way we Role Played it out.

 

''Now as i write the incident out this many decades later its a differant feel and the details change, but thats the basis for this thing.
