Arena is a large open-aired stadium in Imperial City, where gladiators fight to the death. [edit]

The Arena was first built by the Blademaster Gaiden Shinji in roughly 1E 490. Gaiden Shinji was a member of the fierce order of Diagna, a band of elite crusaders sworn to protect the Empire of Alessia. Tiber Septim later declared this Arena the official Arena of the Imperial City and had it restored to its former glory.

Sections

The Arena is divided into two parts, the Stadium and the Bloodworks. The Stadium is the main section where the fights take place. It is circle shaped and open aired. There are four gates through which combatants can enter the Arena, although only two lead to the bloodworks and only one of them can used by the player. In the center, there are four columns surrounding a large circular grating, through which blood can seep out of the Arena and into the Bloodworks. There are two seating boxes, one for the yellow team betters, and one for the blue team betters. There is also a main seating area, but it is inaccessible to the player. The second section is the Bloodworks, an underground training and recruitment area. This is were you can meet few of the combatants and can join the Arena. It is also the starting place for the miscellaneous quest Origin of the Gray Prince.
