NECRODOME
The Story
The old governments were gone. The old
ways of living were gone. Nothing remained of the way things
had been, nothing but the desire to compete and the need for
heroes. Seeking ever more-violent forms of entertainment,
the gore-starved populace of the New World city-states turned
to vehicle pit fighting. At first, it was crude - one car
against another in a simple pit or warehouse. Then sponsors
came in; built bigger, more devious pits, and promoted single
drivers against larger number of foes.
Soon each city-state had their own pit
or "Arena". Special care was taken to provide a special feel
to each - representing the attitude of those who owned it.
The leaders of some of the city-states then gathered and laid
the plans for the "The Circuit". A hierarchy of the pits was
developed based on their difficulty - with the culmination
being the Necrodome. Remotely televised, the sport is the
biggest past-time in the New World. No other sport or competition
exists to rival the trials of these modern-day heroes. Nothing
could.
The wars are now a dim memory to most
people. The Circuit is the goal of every young hotshot with
a car, and the death of most. No one has ever survived the
whole Circuit, and only one has ever made it to the Necrodome.
That dead man's name is still whispered in awe to this day.
