The Arenas of Arbolisk
Multiple arenas exist in Arbolisk for people to spar in. Several of these were created purely for tournament purposes, while others are open year-round for matches.
Design
Juniper Grande Stadium is the main stadium in the capital city, Erizone. The interior of the ring is primarily a flat, raised platform. Between it and the seating area is a lower pathway around the stadium, 20 feet wide. The audience is seated in a ring around the arena floor, elevanted about the fighters. Commentators can sit inside a booth inset into the wall. Also in the wall are various large, metal doors, from which combatants enter the arena.
Essento Stadium is the main stadium in Medios. It is the most normal of all the arenas, perfect for balanced sparring. A large, circular stage, it sits on a platform roughly two feet high, with a pair of steps on opposite sides. Around the stadium are two simple rope barriers. One stands at roughly two foot off the platform, the second at about four foot. Between the audience bleachers and the stage is a flat, grassy field.
EndLands Stadium in a major stadium in the city of Off-Topic, resting on the edge of a cliff of the hill. The audience is seating in a raised horseshoe shape , with the fighting area below. The open edge of the horseshoe faces into the hill, and an announcers table sits on the ground. The fighting area is a few steps up, and encompasses the entire area between the horseshoe seating. The walls from the ground to the seating area are clear, reinforced glass, allowing combatants and announcers a view of the outside. Contestants are allowed to touch the glass without consequence.
Created for the Arbolisk Fighting Tournament in XX01, Kurosawa Stadium is on the outskirts of Medios. It is suspended forty feet in the air by thick metal chains. The audience is seated at the mid-point, twenty feet above the ground. In the center of the arena, a large holographic display shows the events. A group of drones follows the combatants as they move around the arena to display the fight. The announcer booth is in an elevator-like contraption, which allows them to view the combatants themselves, the holographic display, or both. Contestants enter the stadium at ground level, and must ascend up rope ladders (or whatever means they prefer) to get to the platform above prior to combat. Combatants are not considered Out unless they touch the crash mats at the bottom of the arena. While the original platform was destroyed during the tournament, a group from Arbolisk decided to restore the stage for future aerial combat training and sparring.
Created for the Arbolisk Fighting Tournament in XX01, Miyamoto Stadium is a minor stadium in Topica. The main platform sits a few feet in the air, and is one of the smaller stages of the arenas. The entire stage is surrounded by a sphere of colorful panels of photonic barriers, which shimmer slightly. If touched, a panel will turn red, resulting in a Ring-Out. The panels are transluscent from inside, but transparent from the outside, allowing an unobstructed view for the audience. Panels can be turned off to allow access into the stage. The stage was decommisioned after the tournament, although the panels (or some like them) have been spotted in underground fight rings in the years since.
