Everyone who goes to visit the country is forced into the tournament. When I first met the couple, they told me they were headed to a country surrounded by a verdant forest, where the people lived simple, modest lives.

Later, I ran into the woman again, and she said it was a truly wonderful place that I should make sure to visit. I only found out about the tournament when I was signed up at the gate, and refusing meant being enslaved instead.

[It was not ideal.]
