Ludus is a peaceful land where ancient terror beasts and humans somehow coexist in perfect harmony. Absolute bliss and peace govern their lives, and any reasonable person would consider Ludus a pretty nifty place to live, terror beasts and all.
But such joy and laughter can never last forever, because that would be boring. So, once every few hundred years or so, a predicatably unpredicatable astrological phenomenon occurs wherein some angry people in the sky from a not-sky-at-all dimernsion called Terra come and shred their peace into pieces. Who knows why, they're probably picked on or something.
Whenever they arrive, a fleet of floating islands are brought along. Their fields, divided into conveniently perfect squares, make up the battlefields where the humans and the anicent terror beasts battle for the amusement of these angry sky people.
It's pretty darn awful. The peaceful terror beasts dont really enjoy being terrifying, and the puny humans dont really enjoy being puny, but when the alternative is getting sky-peopled to death (it's bad), the result is friends killing friends and innocent terror beasts alike, hoping for the battles to end and for peace to return to the land.
It's a tactical strategy game, prepare to go to war!
