The family Towershead is a simple, mountain-dwelling clan from the upper Seed Mountains of Anumün. While the family has a long and rich history of involvement in the development of Lyveria and the Maglarian Reformation, sunset has fallen on their line. Quora’s parents, Kurion and Hija, have never had a son, and they have grown old. Although they continue to try, it seems that destiny does not wish for a male heir to carry on their family name. Quora will one day be the last of her clan. Although the name of Towershead will vanish, it will be up to only her to pass on the warriors’ blood that flows in her veins. At 24, she is not eager to go find a husband, but because of her ferocity in battle, her father Kurion has presented a plan in which she has found favor.
On the Towershead trio’s most recent trip to Lyveria, where they must venture once every five years for medical supplies, they discovered a posting in the central square that caught Kurion’s attention. It was a call for Gladiators to Mount Mox. These Gladiators would be professional fighters in the arena, warriors in a new form of civilized combat to ensure the ongoing peace in the Splinterlands. They would fight daily under the magical protection of the sacred arena grounds. While the pain would be very real with each battle, the Gladiators would be placed in no true danger. Instead, the magical protection would allow them to be physically renewed every time they left the circle of combat, even if they were slain. This would allow the Gladiators’ Camp professional duelists to fight one another again and again in real battle, which the audience has always craved, but without sacrificing brave warriors to lasting injury and death.
