[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Learn more about La Reina's past: [/p][p]Nestled on the western edge of the Archai Mountains sits the hollow mountain city of La Gran Colina. At the heart of the city lies a gladiatorial stage, the Arena de Campeones. This is where the city founders settled disputes. This is where wars between gangs, businesses and nations were decided. “Truth Through Strength” was the motto of La Gran Colina - but that was in simpler times. [/p][p][/p][p]The escalating hostilities between the Air Armada, Flame Imperium and Water Trade Company had seen a spike in mining orders. Pressure from outside competitors like Badger Co. led to in-fighting and cut-corners in the mines of Gran Colina. One humble worker saw the decay of her culture and society and said “no more.” [/p][p][/p][p]La Reina put on her mask and came to the ring to take on all challengers. She fights in the Arena de Campeones to remind her people of their pride and indomitable spirit. Wherever she goes she promotes Gran Colina’s strength, but always returns home to defend her title and the honor of her people.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Keep up to date with more info and early looks at La Reina before her release by following us on your favorite social media channels here!
