Sink

If you see a group of children (and occasionally adults) racing out of the Necropolis toward the faction houses near the Grand Arena, it probably means that you've got a chance to witness a uniquely Khezvaran competition called "Sink." A game of sink happens whenever a body that was disposed of in the Elfelite River resurfaces. Since early arrival to the field of play can give a faction an advantage, the first person to report the "floater" at each faction house can collect a small reward from the athletes who live there.
The game begins as soon as two teams arrive at the river. The teams are typically made up of members of the four arena factions, but it's not unheard of for other groups and organizations to field their own teams as well. The rules of the game are right in it's name: the goal is to sink the floater through any means necessary. This usually involves athletes banding together to throw large, flat rocks that they hope will take the corpse down, but ensnaring the corpse with ropes to which weights can be attached or even swimming out to the corpse with weighted ropes in tow are also common practices.
Simple submersion is not enough for a win--the corpse has to stay down through five verses of the song "Petor the Blacksmith," which tells of an unfortunate blacksmith who dies and is resigned to the Elfelite several times, each time returning in an increasingly ridiculous form. The song begins as soon as the floater goes under and continues until the corpse pops back up or a winner is declared. The winning team earns glory and a round of drinks paid for by the losing teams. As with most events in the city with an uncertain outcome, gambling on games of Sink is common.
