Version/5.5
Last updated 2026-01-30
In Natlan, hosting a heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping competition is a marvelous undertaking.
But organizing one so thrilling that it unites all six tribes? That is truly a magnificent feat, indeed.
And so, as they have done countless times in centuries of yore, humans and saurians once again race across this ancient land.
The spirit of competition burns eternal, just like the flames of Natlan.
