Marauding Champions Special: History of the Marauders

Companion to : A Much Deadlier Tournament:

Hello readers. I decided it was time to share with you all the companion I wrote to keep the story straight. It contains all the known generations of Marauders, their forms, their inventions and what fate of the curse they suffered. Along with the identities of known rivals.

There are other characters, via "famous witches and Wizard" cards that were also Marauders or rivals but I am not certain how to fit them in. Suggestions are welcome and I will continue to make changes to this as time goes on.

Quick reminder:

- 1 Marauder is doomed to die by their own hand.

- 1 Marauder is doomed to cause the death of another.

- 1 Marauder is doomed to be estranged from the rest.

- 1 Marauder is doomed to suffer for a crime they did not commit.

- 1 of the Rivals is destined to marry one of the Marauders.

- Each generation has an individual invention each and collaborate on creating a grand invention or work together.

- Each generation of Marauders is composed of 3 animagi and 1 half-breed or otherwise blood-cursed individual (werewolf, maladictus, etc).
