Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Proving Grounds: Once referred to as The Pits, it is said that the first senshi of Tarazed converted this region into a sacred place where warriors gather from far and wide to represent their clans in this tournament-style arena. Some come to prove their own worth, for personal honor and glory, while others seek to elevate their own clans status within the established hierarchy.

Either way, there is much to be gained and even more that is at risk of being lost.

Throughout history, the next senshi has always been awakened here. Granted to one who had overcome many trials and earned the right to wield the abilities granted to the impundulu and lead the clans.

However, Kadeesha was the first in many generations to not have awakened this way. Scorned because she was not a fully trained or seasoned warrior, a fledgling in the eyes of many. Blood on her hands but her ledger was still clean and a familiar had not yet bound itself to her. Her fight was nothing more than an unsanctioned and unscheduled skirmish, an introduction to what her life would undoubtedly become. The true circumstances behind this fight are not widely known, and the few that were aware took the secret to their grave.

The honor and power should have no doubt gone to another, one closer to her whom Kadeesha would have sworn life and loyalty to. But the world chose differently and it was she who was forced to rise and rise again. Push further and harder, until she could no longer stand beneath the growing pressure and still find reason and strength to rise again.

Perseverance reins above all else for without it, her ruined world will remain dead.

Chaos entered her world unseen. Corrupted the land by tainting water and killing crops. Creatures that consumed either became sick or went mad. Familiars turned on masters, clans fought amongst one another until war between boards broke out.

It was a slow decline that began under the previous guardian's reign but did not reveal itself as the cause until several decades of Kadeesha serving as the guardian of her world.

Rivers and streams run red with the blood of her brethren, skies reflect the pain her world has suffered dark clouds loom overhead while lightning strikes ravage the land, striking at areas where chaos gathers.

However, Kadeesha was never able to prove herself to the people of her world to show she had rightfully deserved the honor of becoming the current Senshi. As such she could not gather the clans to fight off the intrusion or cleanse her world because so few recognized her for what she was and chose not to follow. For centuries she has steeled herself against the betrayal and criticism and continued to fight against the chaos, persevered until the light of a new hope shone across the heavens and she reached out in desperate determination to purge the chaos and bring new life back into her world.
