About the Coloseum

As you step inside, you're met with a massive entrance for the monsters, above which sit the VIP Seats, reserved for the wealthy and powerful. The government seats are also located here, as the Gladiatorocracy leaders are responsible for overseeing the games.
On the opposite side of the monster entrance is the entrance for the gladiators. It is a much more modest entrance, but it holds great significance to the warriors who enter through it. This is where they make their grand entrance, where they showcase their strength and skill to the roaring crowd.
The great colosseum of Jocundcrest is a symbol of the city's Gladiatorocracy, where physical prowess is revered above all else. And within its walls, the most legendary battles in the land are fought, captivating the hearts and minds of all who witness them.

Interior

As you step through the main entrance of the great Colosseum of Jocundcrest, you're immediately met with a grand hallway that stretches out before you. The walls are lined with intricate carvings of past battles and heroic feats. The ground beneath your feet is a smooth marble that glimmers in the light.
To the left and right of the main entrance, there are smaller entrances for captured monsters and suppliers. As you pass by them, you can hear the roars and growls of the beasts that are waiting to be unleashed into the arena.
But the main attraction lies straight ahead. As you make your way down the hallway, you come to a massive set of doors. They're adorned with carvings of swords, shields, and other weapons, and they're wide open, revealing the grand spectacle beyond.
The interior of the Colosseum is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Above the entrance where the monsters are kept is a balcony that stretches across the entire width of the arena. This is where the VIP seats are located, reserved for the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Jocundcrest.
Directly across from the VIP seats, and also above the monster entrance, is a smaller balcony reserved for the government officials of the city. From here, they can oversee the proceedings and ensure that everything is being conducted according to the city's laws.
Below the VIP balcony, there are rows upon rows of seats that gradually descend towards the center of the arena. This is where the common citizens of Jocundcrest sit and cheer on their favorite gladiators.
On the other side of the arena, directly across from the monster entrance, is where the gladiators enter. They emerge from a small door and make their way towards the center of the arena, where they await their opponents.
The arena itself is a sight to behold. It's massive, with sand covering the ground and bloodstains from past battles. At the center of the arena, there's a raised platform where the gladiators fight. Around the edge of the arena, there are various traps and hazards that can be activated to add an extra layer of danger to the fights.
As you take in the grandeur of the Colosseum of Jocundcrest, you can't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. This is where legends are made, and where heroes are born.

Strength prevails, both in mind and body. I have reached the pinnacle of power and it's time for someone to finally follow in my footsteps.
