History
The creation of the Astral League was spearheaded by Miros Kovis in 311RE. Under Kovis's leadership, the Astral League focused on promoting a more strategic and skill-based style of play, with matches held in purpose-built arenas designed to showcase the sport's athletic and tactical elements. The Astral League's approach to Carnarum quickly gained traction, attracting wealthy sponsors and influential backers who saw the league as a means of promoting their own interests and enhancing their prestige. This influx of resources and support allowed the Astral League to expand rapidly, establishing itself as a dominant force within the world of Carnarum. The rise of the Astral League also had a profound impact on the sport's power dynamics, as the traditional strongholds of the Forge Circuit found themselves increasingly overshadowed by the newer, more dynamic teams of the Astral League. This growing rivalry between the two leagues would come to define the future of Carnarum, shaping its evolution and driving its continued growth and popularity throughout the Namorian Republic.
