The Irorium

The largest arena in the known world, the Irorium began as a simple practice ground atop a hill, where worshippers of Irori tested their martial skills against one another. The Irorans long ago gave up management of the Irorium itself, although true worshippers still operate a secret school far beneath the arena, away from the jeers and chants of the crowd above. Exhibitions and contests of skill and strength still take place in the arena, however, and grow larger and more elaborate with every passing year.

Statues of 33 former Irorium champions—each over 150 feet tall—ring the arena’s outer wall, facing out over the city. The 200-foot-tall outer wall towers over the nearby buildings of Absalom’s Foreign Quarter. It encloses a 10-acre central stage, making the Irorium one of the largest and most visually dominant structures in the city. The massive arena has five entrances—a main gate and four side gates—for the public and a sixth gate for workers, gladiators, and other performers.
