Stone Gladiators
After the Guardians were finally defeated; the heroes stripped them of their swords rendering them as useless husks in the eyes of their sworn brother, Oryx the Mad God.
He exiled them to fight for their lives in a gladiatorial colosseum, leaving them for dead with nothing but their shields.
They were constantly mocked, maltreated and beaten within an inch of their lives; being divessed, publically humiliated and consequently robbed of their dignity.
After several near-death battles, they demolished their sheilds and fashioned them into thick platers of armor.
They gained experience in their battles, training to become stronger and building strong alliances with their opponents.
Eventually they climbed to the top of their ranks, being leagues above Oryx himself in his prime days of being a gladiator. Therefore, gaining the respect of veteran gladiators.
After a period of time, they escaped the imprisonment in the arena by rallying up the entirity of the population of other gladiators, thus forming a revolution.
After they escaped and slaughtered all that ridiculed them, they announced their departure from their allies.
Upon their partition, an Axe made of stone was granted to each of them as a parting gift for freeing the other gladiators from imprisonment and oppression.
They no longer serve Oryx, but instead desire to rule over the lands together, freeing all that are under oppression, seeking vengeance upon those who contributed to their downfall.
…Could Oryx have provided the key to his own defeat…?
