GLADIATOR ARENAS Run by the Golden Eagle Guild. Though the fighters are represented by various smaller guilds which run their own gladiator schools. These schools are made up of prisoners that can be bought by various guilds—thus making the empire some money—as well as people who sell themselves into servitude for a specified amount of time, becoming property of the guild. Prisons also “donate” prisoners of lessor value for lower level sporting events against beasts, etc.
Fights range from Single Combat matches which have an elaborate ranking system as well as Team Combats. There are also Spectacle events such as people vs animals and beasts and various other fights. It costs to get in (1 sp for the worst seats to 300gp for the best.) And the Arena gets 10% of all betting. These prices and terms vary from city to city depending on size of arena.
