IMPERIAL TOURNAMENT

Prestigious series of chariot races that takes place in various cities of the Corianth Empire, starting in Mardin and touring until reaching the city of Corianth itself.

The four teams of the Imperial Tournament are named after colours: the reds, blues, greens, and whites. Teams and drivers are awarded points for wins, and after the last races in the city of Corianth, team and driver are declared the winners of their respective leagues, according to points accrued.

The Imperial Tournament is infamous for violence and rioting, especially between the different team factions.
