Each year Athos sponsors a sporting event called “The Games of Gita.” During this time People for near and far come to Athos to watch or participate within these games, but not every game is safe as blood sports are part of the show and gladiatorial games are the common event.

Athos is guarded by other 300 Shemite Asshuri and are to busy enjoying themselves and lounging in constant wealth to bother with the task themselves.
A noble called Lord Mikal now rules Athos after the death of a evil Queen Sortilej, a sorceress and priestess of Gita who supported her decadent People, but suppressed the poor across the river in Zoroz.
