Gladitorial Stables

The gladiatorial sport in Quarsus is quite literally the sport of nobility. It is a common custom among the noble houses to keep a full stable of gladiators to compete against other nobles and many own their own arena either privately or with other local nobility.

Most gladiatorial matches across the Empire are put on as entertainment for the Nobles and their guest however most cities have arenas for public display. These arenas are paid for out of the noble’s coffers so most are owned by several different families, but a few are owned by a single House.



Gladitorial matches are often decided without lethality, however no gladiator enters the arena with the notion that he will live through the ordeal and many gladiators aim to kill their opponent to bring the cheers and adoration of the crowd because only those gladiators who win and have the adoration or hatred of the crowd can ever hope to compete at the Grand Arena in Bakharra.
