Tossball
Tossball is a fictional sport in Halcyon. I'm trying to compile as much information about it as possible, however the point of the game appears to be seeming nonsensical to people who don't already like it.
Known teams

- Spacer's Chosen
- The Auntie Cleo Darlings
- Glacial Age Mammoths
- Hammersmith Thunder
- Hephaestos Hammers
- Happy Dale Farmers

Known rules and facts
- There are more than 32 players to a team. Roles include: goalie, hacker, backs (1st through 32nd), winger, tender, forward.
- In tossball, there are several "zones" of the pitch, named after days of the week, including the Saturday zone. The Wednesday zone is referred to as "the hump" and is considered particularly difficult to get past. It's likely that's because it's the middle of the pitch.
- Points are gained through "body goals" (running the ball into the Saturday zone's goal if visitor, Sunday goal if home), "hand goals" and "foot goals".
- Good sportsmanship is not allowed. Players can be disqualified for sportsmanlike behaviour.
- To be "bronzed" is one of the risks of running the ball, along with cleaving, hacking and winging. It's likely these all cause grievous injury or death.
