Is it known who was the Grand Champion of the Imperial Arena before Agronak gro-Malog?

Nope. Just that Gaiden Shinji build the place. That's about it.

No one is sure of who it TRULY was before Gro-Malog but everyone agrees he was a Mysterious Stranger or was it a giant of a man who was said to be a Black Whirlwind in the arena. Thats right, I went there.

:lmao:
You know, I think the said Black Whirlwind would have been remembered quite clearly in history... unless he killed all the historians.

Probably, after family problems he went into a drunken rage and killed a couple hundred people when ever the mood hit him. :hehe:

I think I'm going with the assumption that it was a Silver Tankard.

:P

I suspect a mudcrab.....

Yeah, I saw one the other day. Nasty little creatures...

I saw that fight where the Stranger gunned down Bendack Starkiller too.

But I do feel that one of OB's weakest points is that it would have been nice to have things like the arena's history a little more fleshed out. Things come across as a bit shallow sometimes.

Sometimes? :lmao:

Oh, and clever joke by the way. The Mysterious Stranger. Classic.

Thank you. :hehe:

This is just my opinion... but isn't it a possibilty that "The Black Whirlwind" is just a title earned because he was a bad [censored] at spellcratft, and had a spell like say, telekenisis, that was strong enough to move people? He could've just been a powerfull Redguard.... just an opinion... but I think he was a Redguard who was highly trained the art of magic, and the people gave him the title "The Black Whirlwind" because he was a Redguard, and he had the ability to move heavy objects in the Arena, maybe even people....

No I'm sure that he was a fighter known for easily cleaving off limbs with his two massive axes. He was a mountain of a man who stormed whole forts alone. One fort he stormed alone, naked and dead drunk crying his defiance into the night like a madman and when he finally crushed the main gate with one kick all the people ran and cried "OH NO THE BLACK WHIRLWIND IS HERE!", that or he just thought it up when he was drunk. He was from the far off land of the east where the Jade Empire is said to be.
