Construction of The Battlefield

Deep below Heaven's Arena, towards the center of the floating plane on which Altissia sits, is a huge cavern. Its size is large enough to fit a small city and is currently empty. Floating in the center of the cavern is Raven Oscars, who just finished considering how to format the Annual Tournament and he has planned something spectacular.

Out of the void, a dome began to materialize made up of advanced technology with some Seraph magic weived in for reinforcement and protection. The dome was taken from one of his archived IP; a certain dystopian books series...within the dome, many different biomes of terrain grew. Dense forests, rocky hills, and cliffs...lakes, ponds, and rivers. It was a beautiful landscape that, come the end of the year, will be running with blood...

On the highest mountain peak, impossible for a normal human to reach, what can only be described as a plane bay is carved into the mountain top. Within the bay is a passenger vessel, extremely large with a cargo door made to open mid-air...

[ City Announcement:

Hello Dear Travelers, I hope you are all enjoying my multiverse and will continue to support my creations. Before I release the next world for you to enjoy, in three months we will be holding the first Annual Survival Games. You may be confused of what The Games are and how they're structered so I will take this chance to inform you of what is to be expected.

Firstly, I will be functioning as this year's GameMaster: An honorary title given to an individual who designs and creates an entertaining yet impactful event for The Annual Survival Games. Gamemasters will only be chosen from a small pool of individuals. This pool is made up of past winners or top-ranked divers of a particular world: Next year there will only be, (as of now) four guaranteed candidates for gamemaster; Winner of this year's game, Top TFNs Diver, Top Minecraft Diver, and Top TSW Diver.

Secondly, the twenty-four candidates (50/50 male/female) will be selected randomly from the Travelers in Altissia. If they are diving into other worlds at the time of selection, they will be notified. Participation is irrefutable. However, after candidates are selected, other Travelers can volunteer in their sted if a participant does not wish to participate. If more than one person wishes to take a participant's place and the participant agrees, the one with a higher Diving ranking will take precedent.

Thirdly, the arena for The Survival Games is within the influence of Altissia and as such, dying in the games is like dying in Altissia. Keep this in mind when choosing to enter the games or not.

Fourthly, all monetary transactions surrounding this event will now and always be in BSC (Blue Star Currency). This event is not for Travelers, this is for the entertainment of the masses outside of our multiverse, this is for the people.

Finally, all items, powers, skills abilities, etc... purchased from the pavilion are allowed. I REPEAT, ANYTHING IS ALLOWED.

The random selection list will be released one week from today. I wish you the best of luck and may the odds be ever in your favor...

~Raven Oscars

News channels around the globe and VRs went wild, higher-ups were happy about this development as this is yet another route for earning and spending wealth while the masses were happy to see such entertainment become available.

Commentators began to discuss the implications of such an event while gambling halls across the world are smiling ear to ear as what will most likely be the largest money earner outside of Heaven's Arena has just appeared.

It was even leaked that Mr. Oscars have allowed the other NOVA Corp families and world leaders to 'sponsor' certain participants when they enter the games. Even with the age-restricted viewership, it's predicted to be the biggest event of the year.
