## History

### The first meets

The first Ostacoli meets would have been met in Banja Conra between three men they used to see how fast they would run, once they did it a dead hour on a road and gained a following and some people asked if they could join. Soon this became an annual event were every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday they would have meets this would start to spread to other regions they would make money off of it and soon retired and rich nobles.

### Expansion

The expansion of Ostacoli was extremely fast and after it first gained attention when it became Cazn's national past time.

#### First Official game

The government of Cazn would soon ask for an officially hosted "best man" game to be played on a specially made track just for the game, the players would have a specially reported on and would inspire city news boards to be expectation in large cities of Qyria. The game would end in shocking fashion where there was a three way close finisher. Soon it would be decided that Ivone Giacobbe had won.

After the "The game to end all games" had been played it would has been reported on and would start to spread Ostacoli to other regions of Qyria. Many nations would create their own leagues which would collapse quickly, but soon two league we be created that would be there to stay The Adriatic Summer League, and the Torretan Spring League which both would soon start to collaborate and have there league champion face the other in a 1v1 match which would soon be labeled the "Adriatic Thunder" this match would become such a national game in Qyria that it would inspire the very first Ostacoli stadium to be built.

#### International Expansion

Soon many forms of Ostacoli would spread across its borders making it into The Second Phoenicia Republic and Burgland, they would make there own ways of playing the game. This caused the first International Qyrian league season to be very controversial as it was played in the traditional "Conra" way of playing which put Phoenician and Burg athletes at a disadvantage. Soon Burg people would tell the government of Burgland about the shortcomings and soon after a conference it was fixed, now there are threes races spanning two weeks one of Sunday of Week 1 the next Saturday of Week 1 and the final race on Saturday Week 2, where they run three tracks in each meet, its is traditional to do the "Royal Run" (Burg) style first then the "Yukhbir" (Phoenician) style second and finally end it with a "Conra" (Qyrian) race to end the meet.

### First International matches

After the athletes of the Qyrian league were selected two athletes would be unable to show up for Yrmia after they volunteered for the military, as a result Qyria would send a note to Burgland if they wanted to send two athletes to represent Burgland in the Alpine Conference.

#### Struggles during the Second War of Reconquest

When the second war of reconquest first started many Phoenician athletes would have there "final games". This caused many Ostacoli fans to consider this the most heart wrenching Qyrian league bracket with many story lines reaching even beyond the Phoenician and Burg athletes attending. It would end in Wa Harl winning the championship against defending champion Khupac Komiac in five.

##### Stand Riots

In both instances of a Phoenician and a Burg athletes facing each other the stands attempted a riot, in the first one after Godwin Ris got beat by Lakmart Alard there for four recorded riots in the five game series. After the second riot Qyrian league officials would over see the segregation of the stands and guards being stationed in between stairwells where the fans met. This was partially successful as it did see the de-escalation of riots but it didn't stop them outright. The second face off between a Phoenician and Burg athletes would see two riots one after Widogast Veremund won the second meet to tie to series 1-1 many Phoenician fans seeing it as disgraceful when this happened right after the reclamation of Gaulrok. The second riot was more so a wide scale protest rage anthem by Burg fans when Eada Ahid beat Widogast Veremund to end the series.

##### 108 Championship Series

Wa Harl would run for his life in the final meet of the series when it was tied 2-2 keeping Khupac Komiac from going back to back in Qyrian league championships, the meet ended emotionally with Wa Harl screaming and breaking down on the track where then after Khupac Komiac helped him up and they both carried each other to the locker rooms. This specific meet in the championship series would see the largest crowd up to the point in the history of Ostacoli. It would see upwards of 30,000 people in attendance all of varying ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds.
