Foul Bowl - Cardiff - 2nd July, 1 Day 4 Games

[Darkson (Simon)]

Years before the game as we know it now became popular, there was another more violent event held once a year on a beautiful coastline in Albion. Around that time it was genuinely believed that the game was in fact brought from across the Sea of Claws far to the North where the cruel Druchii live after a raiding party caught up in the fog wrecked their Cutter. Fans would swell the stands to see the hot and cold blood in a sport that more resembled a battle than a game of modern day BloodBowl. Bribes were rife and in most games, due the the sheer number of fans, referees were anxious to act according to the unofficial rules pamphlet. This in turn only encouraged more homicidal fans to pay at the gates and the teams grew to substantial squads able to withstand severe punishment.
It was all but forgotten, the old round coliseums crumbled or were pulled down to allow room for the new and improved 3rd Edition stadiums, all but forgotten until an unfortunate frog who just so happened to be led face down in the surf at the same spot where the Druchii Cutter had beached all them years ago had a bright idea, what he was doing there was another story, but if it weren't for the corked bottle containing a thousand year old flyer crashing into his delicate head he might just of ended his days there too. But as it happened fate wouldn't be that kind...Foul Bowl
