A coliseum has built in 2015 on the festival grounds with four practice arenas and one main arena. In the arenas you can fight against each other. A maximum of two people can be in a specific arena at any one time. No taking familiars, animal companions, demons, etc in with you. You have to fight on your own. If someone is already in an arena when you try to enter, you'll be told who is there. Each arena has a viewing room, so people can watch the fights and yell or heckle. If you die in the arena, medics are on-hand to move you to the infirmary and get you cleaned up; let it be noted that you will not lose deeds if you die. You will also be charged a small fee for being tended to by the medical staff. The only compensation you get for killing each other is bragging rights. Any fighting done in the arenas will be considered consensual.

Arena Guidelines - When you go through the portal into the arena, ALL outside spells are stripped, and then for native casters:

* Retribution effect (only) of Cloak of Shadows (712) is stripped

11/24/2024 12:15 PM [Inner Walkway, Blacksmith] (14020203) 6x enchanted
a gold-accented vaalorn longsword dyed crimson
Decorative and functional, the longsword is crafted of vaalorn and dyed deep crimson though its fuller is artistically left a natural silvery luster. Rising above the quillion block, an elegantly wrought wyvern in gold forms the knuckle guard, arm branches, and counter guards. Its sinuous body arcs from the feystone button at the top of the shield-incised pommel, past the lasimor grip, and across the riccasso, its tail curling around the blade. Flared wings, with a downward dip, decorate the quillions.
11/24/2024 12:20 PM [Inner Walkway, Tavern] (14020202) 6x enchanted
a sinuous wyvern-carved glowbark longbow strung in crimson catgut
Carved from a single limb of glowbark, the longbow takes on an artistic representation of a wyvern in flight. Blazestar eyes decorate the intricately carved head at the upper limb, the string groove wrought to resemble a closed serpentine mouth clasping the bow string. The opposing limb is shaped like the beast's tail, its heart-shaped tip culminating in the final string groove. The grip is protected by stylized wings in vaalorn. Subtle dye patterns throughout create a crimson-scaled appearance.
11/24/2024 12:25 PM [Inner Walkway, Bonfire] (14020204) 6x enchanted
a wyvern-winged vaalorn halberd bound to a lasimor haft
Stylized wings fashioned of vaalorn rise from the lasimor haft of the halberd to form the intricately carved axe-head. Damascened designs stretch across the blade, creating a mottled red appearance that resembles stylized scales. The langet is molded to appear like the body of a wyvern, its limbs encircling the haft, while its sinuous neck stretches upward to create the corresponding spike. Beneath the blade, a piece of aqilorn wraps about the wood as a decorative and functional blood scarf.
11/24/2024 2:00 PM [Inner Walkway] (14020206) The winner of this raffle will be given 3 Elven-Only Signature Verbs.

elf_breath
You steady your breathing, quiet your mind, and prepare yourself with an air of calm assurance.

elf_glance
You cast a swift, appraising glance around, a quiet confidence in your bearing.

You must be present as the verbs will be assigned to you at the time of the win.
