A Victor never truly dies. They live on in memory, in spirit, in history books that will be studied by thousands of people to come. A Victor is a symbol of power, of strength, wealth, and sometimes even weakness. Victors come in all shapes and sizes, some appearing from the most unlikely of places. In these games, we invite you to take a trip with us into the past. Look through your lists and records, hunt for the name of a Victor long passed, and bring them back to life once more. If there's a character you're itching to write about just one more time, a Victor whose story you just know isn't finished, come on in and take them back to the arena. Cover Credit to: DrWidAA

The United Sectors of Argyris was a masterpiece. Home to people from all walks of life, the nation was divided into eleven sectors. Each was named after a colour on the spectrum and was the central of a different area of profession. Much like the colours that stood for them, its people led vibrant lives surrounded by like-minded individuals, going about their day-to-day businesses. The land was a canvas on which the painters did their work, taking pride in the masterpiece they'd created together. But that was the Argyris of fourteen years ago. Fourteen years since the King passed away and twelve since the Queen took over, the world as Argyrians know it has fallen apart. Two years ago came the death of the nation's only hope-Prince Nicholas-who was counted on to succeed the throne. Beneath the surface of a nation torn to shreds and people constricted by fear, something was rising. A wildfire was blazing through the sectors. The Nixes were rising from the ashes and ready to take back what was rightfully theirs. This time, they'd paint a different picture. One that was simply the art of war.

Many years since the world has been destroyed by Genesis, an atomic bomb, the world is beginning to stir. People have gathered in communities called toxums, the leaders of the communities are called poskas (poska as singular), and the destruction of the earth is known as washek. But that is far from the point. The point is: there is hope. And where there is hope, there comes trouble. A mysterious radio message has sent sixteen people and their poskas Miriam 14 and Zaccary 15, into the depths of the wasteland, in search for something better. But is there really something out there? Revolutions can be small or large, and with power hungry, hopeful, individuals, only one can remain victorious in peace.

In Ancient Egypt, the day begins normally. Ra, the mighty god of the sun, rises in the east at dawn, rides his boat across the sky, and descends into the Underworld at dusk. All is well and good. The next day at dawn, he does not emerge again. As one might guess, this is somewhat problematic. Of course, the sun is necessary to prevent small annoyances like "freezing to death" and "eventual, inescapable starvation-" but only the fortunate will survive to die in the dark. Ra's might cowed demons and sustained the other gods; without him, monsters that feared the light of the day will walk free. Eventually, the entire Egyptian pantheon will be helpless stop them. An epic task falls to twenty-four champions from all across Egypt: to venture into the Underworld, following Ra's path down the River of Night. If the sun god has been captured or detained, rescue him. If an enemy stands in their way, kill him or die trying. The odds are stacked against them, but the consequences of failure are far, far worse than death. After all, if they're too slow, there may not be a sun left to save...

Even for witches and wizards, sometimes there's no substitute for good old-fashioned research. It seemed like the perfect opportunity for any student of Magical History or Ancient Runes- a research expedition to the Yucatán Peninsula with famed archaeologist and witch Gloria Itza. Over the course of six weeks, one could explore the lush rainforest, delve into the darkest ruins with an expert by their side, and look for clues to the disappeared alchemist's capital known only as El Dorado. Students from magical schools from across the globe itched to escape their tiresome studies and have an adventure. The trouble is, El Dorado has stayed hidden for hundreds of years, ever since the disappearance of the Mayan empire. As plans slowly deteriorate and the ancient magic of the Maya begins to affect students, two facts become clear: It is entirely possible that El Dorado does not want to be found. And to protect its treasure, no magic is too dark. Featuring the first ever collaboration between TheCatKing and returning host RappyTheDinosaur, this is one HP Games you don't want to miss. We promise that by the end, you'll long for nice, relaxing Triwizard Tournament. There, at least the worst thing you face is death...

"I did you a favor getting rid of your old Head Gamemaker. These past few years' Games have been an insult to the meaning of the Games.
