 An excerpt from the speedracing chapter.
 
"Whether it was an innate desire borne from the world’s time soaring at great speed through the stars, or a hobby launched from the mundane exercises of mortal life, it matters not. Some time long in the past, two individuals asked the question: who’s faster? And then quickly answered the question in the form of a footrace. The winner rejoiced and the loser considered new ways to increase their speed. And so the races began. Nowadays most cities hold some form of race, though the style and rules of races vary greatly from one place to another, sometimes even changing based on the time of year or weather. Race winners are held in high esteem, often being recognized for hundreds of miles around. The biggest, fastest and most dangerous races are held in the biggest cities. In this section it’s laid out the rules, qualifications and celebrities surrounding each of the most important races of Orameus."
 

Volsegrad City Circut

Here is a battlemap that we've been working on for the kickstarter. Race through the bustling streets of Volsegrad City with our immersive battlemap. 
 
An excerpt from the speedracing chapter.
 
"As expected, the Volsegradians race using magic. What began as simple push-pedal style go karts were soon enchanted to the physical limits of whatever materials were used to create the carts. Additionally, because so many powerful healers attend the events, the VCSC gets very violent. The rules surrounding the construction of the vehicles and the race itself are minimal, leaving as much space for creativity as possible. But because of the high degree of danger and competitiveness regarding the Street Circuit, competitors must either be race winners in a different circuit or be sponsored by someone who has raced in the VCSC previously."
 

Speed Elemental

The dust devil behind a galloping horse, the flurry of water droplets coming of the prow of a ship, the moment of inertia that comes at the very apex of a turn. These things draw upon the tangible element of speed. That same element can be harnessed into a being of its own, and on rare occasion these creatures can be found hurtling through the wilderness.
