{{DISPLAYTITLE:Story mode (Slave Pits)}}''[[Slave Pits|Slave Pits]]''

The story mode is the heart of ''Slave Pits'': a single heroine, a fixed beginning and end, and choices along the way. It is told in her own voice.

== The heroine ==
A peasant woman from a village in the north, raised among the [[True Worshippers]]. The Empire attacks the northern villages; hers is destroyed, and she is taken as a slave. Her only teacher is the memory of the [[The Old Warrior|Old Warrior]]:
<div class="calima-quote">I never paid as much attention to the Old Warrior as I should have. I always thought that his teachings were not that useful for farming or working the land. But now I will never be a farmer or a peasant again. Now the only things remaining are his lessons and... My vengeance.</div>
She has no name in the game. The crowd gives her one: [[No-step-back!|"No step back!"]].

== The story so far ==
As the game's lexicon tells it:
{| class="wikitable"
! When !! What happened
|-
| More than 400 long cycles ago || The [[Star Worshippers Empire|Star Worshippers]] assimilate the [[Crafters|Crafter]] lowlands.
|-
| For 250 long cycles || The Crafters live as lower subjects of the Empire.
|-
| More than 150 long cycles ago || [[Konrad]] leads the uprising and frees his people.
|-
| A little after || The [[True Worshippers]] beliefs rise in the north.
|-
| Lately || The Emperor bans the heresy and oppresses the northern territories.
|-
| Now || A captured slave is bought to the fighting pits.
|}
On the saga's [[Timeline|timeline]], ''Slave Pits'' takes place in 2503.

== Three chapters ==

How it ends is on the [[Slave Pits/Ending|Ending]] page.

== Choices ==
Between fights come events, conversations with the other slaves and decisions. They move her on two scales, the [[Factions (Slave Pits)|factions]]:
* '''Star Worshippers or Crafters''': loyalty to the True Worshipper ideals, or the fight against the corrupt Worshipper ways.
* '''Justice or Vengeance''': what is fair for others, or the most direct road to the goal.
The scales decide which events she meets, and which House of the coliseum takes her in.

== Options ==
* '''Difficulty''': Normal, Hard or Hardcore. Every difficulty leads to the same story and the same content.
* '''Legendary''': she cannot lose a single fight.
* '''Heroic recovery''': up to three times in the story, she stands again after falling, with half her life, stamina and balance.
* The tutorial can be skipped.
