Once there were terrible times in Hesperia. Everybody was fighting everybody. In those fratricidal wars all parts of this vast country stood against each other, as did all the local tribes and clans. For long years nobody had enough will and power to stop this madness. Hate so deeply sown is hard to weed out. Hesperia seemed to be the only hope a huge wasteland without any life. But there was a man who, through the fire of battles and through the art of diplomacy, miraculously asserted peace in the dying land. It was Atlanton II, the first Hesperian emperor. Peace prevailed over deadly feuds and brought new hope to Hesperia. Atlanton II was a wise ruler and he was well aware that the hatred that had controlled his tribes and clans for so long must find its way out. The first air battles tournament took place in Southern Chalibar, in the Arena of the Giants, exactly in the same place where gladiator fights among the prisoners of war used to take place during the war. The tournaments soon gave rise to a unified league system in which representatives of the strongest clans fought each other. Instead of bloody wars Hesperia now lives for just and gentlemanly matches amongst its best fighters.
