As the world expanded, other countries were invited to join in the competition. It also allowed the kingdom of Krezdiv to divide the competition into armed and unarmed warriors. As bards became more famous, they also added the music festival before the tournament. Eventually, the festival became a combat of sorts as well.
Terra continued to develop and evolve. The Corelon Zepheroth tournament came with more prestige, renown, and reward. Some of the combatants had their own bards who heralded their mighty deeds.
As women’s right become recognized throughout Terra, they are gradually accepted by most, as combatants. There are still individuals who disapprove of women in the tournament. Despite one of the neighboring countries being ruled and dominated by women, some individuals and groups remain ignorant and set in their ways.
With increased popularity in martial arts, the unarmed half of the tournament is accumulating more participants. More styles of unarmed combat are represented by more skilled combatants.
