You pass beneath the carved arches and into a tiered theatron enclosing the oval arena: The Coliseum of Thrace - to some an infamous pit of death, to others a ladder to glory. The theatron is divided into three tiers, with the lavishly dressed Masked dominating the lowest and attended to by dozens of hung-head Faceless, as well as a few Oathsworn brothers - a rare sight. The tier behind them is populated by Masked without the colorful robes or attendees, and behind them are the scrambling masses of gray and brown, wardened by Masked enforcers. And above them all, as unholy decorations on the walls, are strung twelve crow-pecked bodies.
