“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]

Participants

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

The total number of participants is 96.

Akura Clan House Arelius Ninecloud Court Northstrider Reigan Shen Seshethkunaaz Eight-Man Empire Emriss Silentborn
Main team Core family Sha family
  • Sha Miara
Wastelanders Stormcallers
  • Therian Nills
  • Calan Archer
Gold dragons Ghost-Blade Dreadnought City
Secondary team Moonwater Redmoon Hall Black dragons Flame-Gift
Frozen Blade School Abyssal Palace Green dragons Blood-Chorus
Blackflame Empire Silent Servants Red dragons Nine-Hands
  • Sha Miara, the Ninecloud Monarch, restricted herself to have the power of an Underlady so she could compete with her lessers.
  • 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.
  • Naian Blackflame was first introduced as the 'Black Dragon Prisoner', he had been driven to madness by his power, and the Gold dragons were using him as a weapon. (See Blackflame Empire: A Timeline for details on Naian and his imperial family)
  • A few teams were introduced without mentioning which faction they were part of:
    • Tidewalkers.
    • The Five Sisters of the Iceflower continent.
    • The Ironheart Legion of Rosegold.

  • Only the first match of the round has taken place so far, with Lindon facing Yerin instead of Sophara, after Northstrider surprised them by switching opponents.

The match ends with Lindon losing, after Yerin had successfully achieved a reflection of the Sword Icon in their final clash of techniques. (Uncrowned)

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. . .
