Glory Carnage
The Glory Carnage was one of the most pretigious Riches contests in all of Nexus. It was designated for levels 66-85. For years it was considered the height of player-killing excelence because of it's accessibility, affordability, path balance, and lucrative prizes. At it's peak the Glory carnage would average more than 80 participants per riches-- which would mark the creation of the 4 team system. The introduction of "script items" allowed for participants to grossly inflate their base statistics to a point where the strategy of the class greatly shifted. These new items coupled with the change of the poet Atone spell marked the indefinite downfall of the specific carnage class.
Tops
"Tops" is a term that refers to the elite particapants of a carnage, the Glory Tops, while extremely skilled were not always "maxed" (Level 85).
The Original Carnage of Champions
The original Carnage of Champions (sometime around Yuri 50) consisted of teams of 3, all pit in free for all style against one another in the Bloodlust arena. Dozens of teams entered but in the end, VietCong, Peddy, and a forgotten rogue bested Whiteshadow, Vierge, and Norkle to take the crown (engraved hand items **Glory Carnage Champion** instead of the legend mark seen today) as Glory Carnage Champion.

Downfall
The downfall of the Glory Carnage can be attributed to four specific factors:
1. Population decline and lack of PK interest 2. The Introduction of the Life Blossom 3. The Introduction of "Script items" 4. The alteration of the Atone spell which can remove Snare, a key strategy used in Glory endgame.
