Bloodsport

Once saw a bard roll into town and sleep with half the young women... the amount of bloodsports he was challenged to... I shudder at the memory

A more relaxed resident of The Wheel comments on a recent bloodsport.

Bloodsport is a form of entertainment and dispute resolution in The Wheel that was put into place by Niles Five Eyes to instil his view of order on the barony upon it's founding. The idea and purpose of bloodsport is made exceptionally clear and simple through it's rules. Anyone who is a resident of The Wheel can be challenged to bloodsport and MUST agree to the terms (if they do not agree, the matter is raised with Niles Five eyes in case of special cases of refusal) at which point, a time and date is agreed for the arena to be used in the Wheel and, with spectators, the two individuals fight until one of them dies (thankfully, the wheels heavy mines filled with jewels that include diamonds ensures that revivify components are always available). Bloodsport arenas have no rules but, an intelligent participant knows that pleasing the crowd is exceptionally important for the boons and bonuses it gives you in the fight... a powerful warrior but poor bloodsport participant can easily find themselves dead to the most unlikely foes.
