Forget magical gems, legendary armor and weapons, potions and glyphs. It's when we are stripped of all of our fancy gadgets and trinkets and left with nothing but a broken sword in our hand and rusted steel on our back that we can answer the burning question: who is truly the strongest in battle? Find out at…
As its predecessor, this tournament is carefully designed to allow warriors to face each other on equal terms in various challenging situations. This means:
- Standardized equipment: All armors, weapons and shields are freshly bought and unused from town vendors
- Several events: Each with their own rules, Champions and prizes, culminating in the final battle for the ultimate title
- Strictly no contraband (gems, potions, hidden gear): Any and all cheating will be noticed, and violators will be shamed and forever branded as "Dastard" (a.k.a. a coward)
- Caswir Drakull
- Húr`Wugrú
- Orion Lysander
- Fergro
- Aleytys Lamar
- Drathe Blue
- Trowin
- Drugar Stonesmasher
- Guir Rabenflügel
- Azure Lynch
- Zelphyra
- Ka'Shas

The details:
One Above All is a one-on-one tournament consisting of three main events named Mirror Championship, Swashbuckler Championship and Malachin's Championship. In these events, knockout means instant elimination unless a rematch is called due to a tie. One Champion (i.e. winner of that event) cannot compete in other main championships except for the final championship. At the end all three Champions of these events will face each other in the final battles for the ultimate title of One Above All.
There are also two extra events: Mage Championship, in which mages use all they've got and learned to defeat the other mage, and Archer Championship, in which archers try destroy a target faster than their opponent.
Mirror Championship has combatants face each other in identical gear. The gear is either agreed upon by the combatants or decided by a coin toss. This Champion will receive:
- A sum of gold coins
- A specially crafted golden diamond ring as proof of their superior use of weapons and armor
Swashbuckler Championship is similar to Mirror Champion but the combatants will be wearing minimal armor and have only a predetermined weapon to rely on. This Champion will receive:
- A sum of gold coins
- A specially crafted golden emerald ring as proof of their toughness and finesse
Malachin's Championship occasionally gives the combatants useful and not so useful items to use against one another. This Champion will receive:
- A sum of gold coins
- A specially crafted golden topaz ring as proof of their ability to react and adapt quickly on the battlefield
Mage Championship is a perfect opportunity for mages to use all their skills and items in order to prove superior to other mages. This Champion will receive:
- A sum of gold coins
- A specially crafted wand as proof of their superior manipulation of offensive magic
Archer Championship places the contestants to destroy targets of their own. The person who destroys their target faster is the winner.
- A sum of gold coins
- A specially crafted bow as proof of their deadly aim and agile fingers
The final championship has the Champions of the three main events face each other with gear of their choice.
The one who becomes One Above All, on top of receiving the title, shall receive:
- A sum of gold coins
- A special ring of an archmage as proof of their unparalleled might
- A specially designed masterwork chest armor of chosen type
