A tourney is taking place in a forgotten city of a decaying kingdom. It will last until the end of the year, as grand heroes and thieves battle their way atop the ladder of this strange competition to have the king's favour.

I know, it sounds like the beginning of a bad joke of some sort, but it's real! And nobody knows: they don't even know each other's motives.
