Blood Tournament

The Blood Tournament happens once every 25 years. In order to be entered, a team must pay 1,000 souls as an entry fee. Each team hails from one of the planes, usually sponsored by a deity who usually provides the souls required. Whichever plane hosts the tournament gets to send two teams to compete.

Each team is composed of 8 people who earn their right to compete by completing five trials during the Blood Moon before the tournament begins. The trials begin on the first night of the Blood Moon and must be completed by the setting of the final Blood Moon over the course of seven days. The trials consist of skill, strength, blood, stamina, and cunning.

Upon winning the Blood Tournament, the champion is awarded all of the souls as well as a Wish spell.

The Dreamers encountered one known winner, Velatrix. He is trapped in Cal's skull with 999 other souls, apparently, the reward of his wish for immortality twisted to be a nightmare rather than glory. Velatrix revealed to the Dreamers information about the Blood Tournament to help them prepare for it before heading into the trials.
