The Burning Ring

The Burning Ring isn't found in a specific location in Firelight. It moves frequently, as the City Watch keeps trying to shut it down, but it seems to find a place to operate every night. It offers blood sport, gladiator-style combat conducted by amateur and professional warriors.

The combat is real — the combatants use a variety of weapons but wear no armor — and sometimes matches end in death. Ideally, the healer on hand for every fight reaches a fallen combatant before he dies, but sometimes the fallen are beyond help. Death only seems to make the crowds cheer louder.
