New Lithos

Founding
New Lithos was founded, by King Asher, in the Fifth Age, with the ideals of being a central trade hub, from which Law & Order, Civilization and Justice could retake the Exiled Lands. New Lithos managed to attract some of the remnants of Clan Caelmoor, as well as others seeking civilization. The city was built on the strategic location of the Oasis of Nehkmet, as a way to provide the citizens with water, as well as to keep an eye on the City of Sepremeru.

The First Grand Tournament of New Lithos
With the Red Rider's being a constant threat, King Asher decided to seek out champions who could assist in a raid on the stronghold of the Red Riders to rid the land of the evil once and for all. The invitation read as following:

=
Citizens of these Exiled Lands! You are welcome under the banner of House Xenakis, to the Grand Tournament of New Lithos. Our true goal, and the truest threat in these lands, lies in the North, in the Black Keep! We will march wherever the undead rise, and cut down those who should resist, a task not to be taken lightly. An elite strike force will be gathered to still the riders where they rest, as an army marching into the keep, will only end in needless slaughter. Slaughter that can not be accepted when fighting an enemy that rises each of our beloved dead. For that reason, the Grand Tournament of New Lithos shall be hosted! Those who come to participate in, one of the many events, will be tested against the fiercest creatures of this lands, as well as other participants. Your skills will be under close watch, as we determine who has the best to offer! The best of you will have the honor to take part in the elite strike force against those known as the Riders. If that is not enough for you still, those that place in their events will be rewarded with not only glory, but items and gold as well! Do your part to help determine who is best fit to take part in this fight! Those of you who cannot participate in such rigorous physical activity, come, and see who the saviors of these lands will be! Merchant stalls will be set up for who wish to sell their wares to participants and spectators! The Riders WILL fall! - Asher, of House Xenakis, born of Argos, King of New Lithos  ===== Many from all corners of the Exiled Land's came to the event, which featured a Free For All tournament, A 2v2 fight Tournament, a Beast-Master's Tournament, and the main event, a 1v1 tournament.
