Floor 9 · Faction Wars

The battlefield floor, themed as Faction Wars. Ten armies contest the sunken city of Larracos at the hub of a wagon-wheel map, while crawlers either enlist or hide in the forests. It is the largest floor and the deadliest of an ordinary crawl. In the Earth season the Princess Posse won, Larracos was moved to the Twelfth Floor, and Emberus burned the rest, waking Scolopendra.

1. Carl and Katia open the Gate of the Feral Gods in the faction market at the bottom of Larracos, flooding the city and wrecking its markets before any crawler has reached the floor. source

1. The Sledge casts the Zerzura Spell on a half-destroyed elf castle on the Sixth Floor, and it lands on the Ninth Floor with the changelings and Ferdinand aboard. source

1. Faction Wars begin on the Ninth Floor, the one floor larger than the one above it, with Larracos as the prize. source
2. Late on the Eighth Floor an audience vote removes the sponsors' death protections, adds a tenth team of NPCs based in Larracos, and enlarges the playing field. source

3. Commander Stockade of the Lemig Sortion kills himself, making the Sortion the first team eliminated. source

5. The Posse eliminates the Blood Sultanate by killing Princess Vinata inside Club Vanquisher. source
6. The Bone Clan's warlord Stalwart is killed by his own conscripted war mages, who break away as the War Mage Rebellion. source
7. Carl kills Architect Houston of The Madness, which leaves four teams and opens Larracos for the final phase. source
8. The War Mage Rebellion takes the throne room of Larracos and floods the city with generated Zarogoths. source
9. The god Emberus threatens to incinerate the floor, and the Posse eliminates The Dream. source
10. The Sledge casts the Zerzura Spell on Larracos, moving the city and Shanty Town to the Twelfth Floor, and the Princess Posse wins Faction Wars; 20,221 crawlers survive to the Tenth Floor. source
11. Emberus burns the rest of the floor; beneath the Posse's fortress Justice Light folds four planes together and dies, and Scolopendra awakens. source
