“This year’s tournament,” Akura Charity continued, “will be the largest in history.”
After Makiel twisted the fate of Cradle in Skysworn,[1] and with other Dreadgods starting to show signs of waking,[2] the current generation of Monarchs called for the commencement of 18th Uncrowned King tournament. (See also Uncrowned King Tournament for more info)
Reigan Shen and Seshethkunaaz have proposed to use the security measures on western labyrinth to weaken the Dreadgods enough for them to be killed, and are trying to use the tournament to convince the other Monarchs.[3]
The results of the tournament affect the decisions of the Monarchs, so it will decide the fate of Blackflame Empire and especially Sacred Valley where the labyrinth is located.
The tournament is hosted and organised by the Ninecloud Court in Ninecloud City.[4]
Northstrider, the Monarch of the Hungry Deep, appointed himself as the sole judge of the tournament, replacing a panel of independent experts from all around the world.[5]
His direct involvement will ensure the safety of the young participants, so that they cannot die unless he wishes them to, and will be able to display their skills in full. [5]

There are eight factions, and each one has four teams.

- The secondary Akura team was forced to participate because Xorrus, the dragon Herald, wiped out the Temple of Rising Earth.
- Even though Tiberian Arelius has fallen, the Arelius were invited to participate in the tournament, since they are one of the oldest factions on Cradle.

Abidan intervention
After the Mad King acquired the false Scythe from the Angler, the Abidan intervened directly with Cradle and other Iterations in order to promote recruitment into their ranks.
In Cradle, the intervention took place immediately after the match between Lindon and Yerin. (See Uncrowned)
All of the tournament participants and Monarch factions were teleported to the arena, and the spectators were teleported out.
Kiuran of the Hounds appeared before them all, encouraging the young participants not to follow their current Monarch’s example, and instead to choose to ascend when their time comes.
He also introduced a new grand prize for the winner: Penance, a legendary weapon soulforged by the founder of House Arelius, Ozmanthus Arelius, aka Ozriel. The arrow will instantly end any one person it is instructed to kill, including a Monarch, a Dreadgod. . .
