## History

**Beigomagus** was originally played with spiraled seashells that were filled with sand and sealed with wax. A string would be wrapped around the shell and, when pulled, this string would get the shell spinning. This game would be played in the coastal towns of the South Ridings, There is fierce debate over which town was the first to father the sport which tournaments being held each year to see who can hold claim to it this year. Although these tournaments have lowered tension over the game, some still vie for true ownership of the illustrious title of creators.

Lead and cast metal would eventually replace the seashells but the rules for the game remained pretty much unchanged. These metal **Beigomagus** allowed for a better range of designs to be introduced and be spread much further a field than the coastal origins the game previously limited the game to. People would take great pride in their **Beigomagnus** and would design and paint them in various patterns to express themselves. At this stage **Beigomagus** can only be used on a hard surface (stone or wood preferred) although the top of a drum was often used as a “ring” as well. These are the style of **Beigomagus** most people use today who aren't a professional in the world of **Beigomagus** or extremely wealthy.

As the popularity of the game grew in Cheyenne, the Magical City, people grew to using magic to improve the designs of the **Beigomagus** they started to use enchantments and glamours to make the spectacle of the game. This was the starting point the sport would evolve into a high octane, stadium filling, spectator sport we know today. Wizards of the city at this point would start to take notice of the game at this point and would start leaving their sigils on the top of **Beigomagus** they were proud to have worked on. These sigils would bring the **Beigomagus** owner great awe and envy, due to certain mages being very selective with their silgil led to increasing the value of these **Beigomagus**. At this point these **Beigomagus** would be made with more refined materials of varying types.

Later on mages would go beyond just leaving their sigil on the **Beigomagus** and start leaving illusions of themselves that would appear as the **Beigomagus** would clash. This was the point that major organised play would start forming, as huge crowds would form to watch these spectacles. Other creatures of renowned & legend were used in these illusions later on due to wizards only selectively giving out their likeness as their notoriety increased and became more sort after.

Leagues began to form for players of different tiers of play and would draw people in from far and wide which drove up the demand for innovation. Spell effect were added to the **Beigomagus** to add extra flare to the matches and separate the big leagues even further. Spell Gems were added to the inside of **Beigomagus** to contain the spells, while not needed by the better crafters of **Beigomagus** is had become a staple of the craft, also doubled up as a means for casters to store extra spells they might need. The introduction of the Spell Gems made it so most spellcasters were sure to have a **Beigomagus** on them with some stellar effects on them. It became common place for people to try and challenge anyone in the streets of Cheyenne they thought to be a spellcaster to a **Beigomagus** match. This practice became so common place the city started to installing **Beigomagus** arenas around the city for the public to use.

The BBA - Beigomagus Battle Association was formed and set up headquarters in Cheyenne, this organisation was set to keep the rules for **Beigomagus** in check and to stop the alterations for **Beigomagus** from getting too dangerous, only a select few owned **Beigomagus** that could be classed as weapons but
