Somewhere in the world, in the middle of a dense and untamed jungle...

Anarchy GM Jett Sterling's hand grip's a machete tightly, each swing cutting away the stubborn vines that dare block his path.

The jungle seems to watch him, an intruder in a world unchanged by time.

After what feels like an eternity battling through the jungle, Sterling stumbles upon a clearing, where he finds—


—a gathering of warriors whose muscles ripple with power, engaged in feats of strength that defy belief, lifting stones larger than men, bending tree trunks as though they were mere twigs, and hunting overgrown beasts that would make any sane man flee in terror.

Yet, for all the spectacle, one man draws Sterling's attention over all the others.

Seated high above on a throne of intertwined branches, adorned with bones and feathers, sits EDWARD.

"Thank God, I made it!" he gasps in relief.

But before he can take another step, the sharp point of a spear touches his neck, and another blocks his path from the front. Sterling's relief turns to alarm as he finds himself caught between two warriors. With his hands raised in surrender, Jett tries to explain his presence.

"I'm from XWF Anarchy! I seek an audience with EDWARD!" 

But the warriors of EDWARD's island are unaccustomed to strangers and do not understand his tongue.

Their response is swift and decisive—a blow to the head that knocks him out like a light.

When consciousness returns, Jett finds himself lying on a bed of animal skins. As his vision clears, the formidable form of EDWARD comes into focus, sitting beside him like a guardian.

"EDWARD SORRY FOR HARD WELCOME. EDWARD PEOPLE NOT SEE OUTSIDER MUCH. NOT KNOW IF SPIRIT GOOD OR EVIL."

Jett shakes off the lingering brain-fog and meets EDWARD's gaze with urgency. "Water under the bridge, what's important is that I was able to reach you."

“HMMM… WHY YOU HERE, JETT STARMAN?”

"This guy named Pariah has ruined Anarchy and I need your help to save it!"

Before another word can be spoken, the scene shifts away from the dim warmth of the hut and into the breaking dawn of a new day.

The world is quiet, save for the distant ambience of the jungle's awakening creatures.

As the first light of sunrise pierces the horizon, we find EDWARD standing alone atop the tallest mountain on his uncharted land.


"EDWARD HEAR WHISPERS.”

“WHISPERS OF DARKNESS.”

“DARKNESS IN LAND OF ANARCHY.”

“DARKNESS NAMED PARIAH.”

“PARIAH, YOU CLOAK YOURSELF IN SHADOW. DEAL IN DECEIT. YOU CLAIM STRENGTH, BUT EDWARD SEE THROUGH YOU.

“SEE TRUE COWARDICE.”

“EDWARD WAS CHAMPION.”

“LONGEST REIGN.”

“EDWARD PROTECTOR OF ANARCHY.”

“ANARCHY, EDWARD TRIBE.”

“EDWARD LEAVE TRIBE IN HANDS OF WARRIOR.”

“BRAVE, NOBLE.”

“CENTURION THEN, ANOTHER NOW.”

“BUT YOU, PARIAH?”

“THREAT TO TRIBE.”

“THREAT TO HONOR. “

“YOU WEAK.”

“SPINELESS.”

“YOU NOT WARRIOR.”

“YOU PARASITE.”

"EDWARD LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS.”

“PROMISES OF DARKNESS, OF GLORY BOUGHT WITH DECEIT. LIES!”

“EDWARD SEE. YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK. SPEAK OF FEAR. OF RUNNING.”

“YOU ATTACK IN SHADOW, FLEE WHEN LIGHT SHINES.”

“YOU NOT STRONG. YOU SHADOW.”

“EDWARD NOT FEAR SHADOW."

"YOU TALK OF SACRIFICE. OF CONQUEST. BUT WHAT HAVE YOU SACRIFICED? YOU SACRIFICE HONOR. SACRIFICE RESPECT. FOR WHAT? XTREME TITLE? YOU THINK TITLE MAKE YOU STRONG? NO. HEART MAKE STRONG. COURAGE. HONOR. YOU LACK ALL."

"EDWARD HEAR YOU CHALLENGED BACKSTAGE AT ANARCHY.”

“RUN FROM CHALLENGE LIKE SCARED WOMAN.”

“YOU CLAIM VICTORY OVER DIONYSUS, BUT STORY OF YOUR SHORT REIGN SAY EVERYTHING ABOUT WHO PARIAH REALLY IS.”

“TRUE WARRIOR STAND. FIGHT. WIN WITH HONOR. YOU? YOU HIDE. YOU DECEIVE. YOU RUN."

"EDWARD RETURN TO ANARCHY.”

“RETURN TO CAST ASIDE DARKNESS.”

“YOU, PARIAH, YOU STAND AGAINST EVERYTHING EDWARD KNOW ANARCHY STAND FOR.”

“YOU THREAT TO PEACE. TO ORDER. EDWARD WILL NOT ALLOW. EDWARD WILL EXPOSE YOU. YOUR LIES. YOUR WEAKNESS."

"PARIAH, YOU TALK OF REVELRY IN AGONY. BUT YOU NOT KNOW AGONY UNTIL YOU FACE EDWARD. EDWARD BRING TRUE AGONY.”

“AGONY OF DEFEAT!”

"YOU SAY MAE THMOB PROMISE GLORY. BUT GLORY NOT GIVEN. GLORY EARNED. IN RING. WITH HONOR.”

“YOU NOT EARN GLORY. YOU STEAL.”

“BUT NOW, JETT STARMAN SET STAGE FOR TRUE TEST.”

“GAUNTLET MATCH.”

“YOUR WARRIOR SPIRIT, IF IT EXISTS, WILL BE TESTED.”

“YOU FACE GAUNTLET.”

“BIG PREESH”

“HERSCHEL KISS”

“AND WHOLE TRIBE OF MICHAEL GRAVES.”

“BUT THIS JUST BEGINNING.”

“YOUR FINAL CHALLENGE, YOUR TOUGHEST BATTLE, WAITS ATOP THE MOUNTAIN.”

“EDWARD."

"FOR YOU, THIS IS JOURNEY.”

“THROUGH EACH CHALLENGE, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SHOW IF ANY HONOR LIES WITHIN. BUT KNOW THIS, PARIAH, EVEN IF YOU SURVIVE, EVEN IF YOU CLIMB MOUNTAIN, WHAT WAITS IS BEYOND ANYTHING YOU STAND AGAINST BEFORE.”

“EDWARD. STRONGEST WARRIOR. GUARDIAN OF ANARCHY!”

“YOUR DARKNESS, YOUR DECEIT…”

“WILL MEET TRUE STRENGTH. TRUE HONOR."

"PARIAH, PREPARE. EACH STEP OF GAUNTLET, EACH VICTORY, ONLY BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO TOP. AND WHEN YOU REACH PEAK, YOU WILL KNOW TRUE FEAR…”

“BECAUSE  AT PEAK, YOU FIND EDWARD. NOT JUST WARRIOR, STRONGEST WARRIOR, MASTER OF WILD, AND YOUR FINAL TEST.”

“PARIAH, YOUR TIME COMES. EDWARD STAND READY, A TITAN AGAINST THE DARK. YOUR DECEIT, YOUR COWARDICE, AGAINST TRUE STRENGTH, TRUE COURAGE."

"ANARCHY'S HEART BEATS STRONG. IT BEATS FOR HONOR, FOR GLORY EARNED IN BATTLE, NOT STOLEN IN NIGHT."

“JETT STARMAN SAY YOU RUIN ANARCHY, AND EDWARD AGREE. THIS GAUNTLET WILL BE YOUR PATH TO REDEMPTION OR TO DESTRUCTION. BUT KNOW THAT DESTINY ALREADY WRITTEN BY EDWARD HAND. YOU MAY NAVIGATE THROUGH OTHERS, BUT END OF YOUR JOURNEY, EDWARD WILL STAND UNMOVED, UNDEFEATED.”

“ANARCHY WATCH!”

“WORLD WATCH!”

“BY END, THEY SEE TRUE WARRIOR STAND AND PARIAH FALL!”

As the sun rises higher, pushing the shadows into retreat, EDWARD stands strong with a promise in his eyes that honor, strength, and courage will reign supreme.
