The Mashara (Mas-hra)

A dominating feature of Enri. A huge theater that can open its domed ceiling to reveal the night sky. This is where the greatest Bards and Illusionists perform their works of art for all to see. This is where the most prestigious people in the city come and see wonders.
The old Palace of Eishna burned down (730 DM) and instead of having it built in the same location, He chose to build a new palace and instead erect the massive Coliseum that he named the Mashara, after his favorite performer. it took 3 years to construct. 
it was blessed by Qed, who is father of all arts, personally as he appeared to the community as an old dwarf and then revealed his true nature. The Creator placed an enchantment upon all the torches in the building to be able to dim or brighten with a single word from the person holding the control rod. 
The current Ahida Hagim (Master of Celebration) is Deborah Mizmorim. She is a delightful bubbly woman who has been the keeper of the Mashara for eight years.

Purpose / Function

The Mashara is the premier theater in the world. It can seat the entire population of the city at once and still have some room. The greatest playwrights, musicians, and orators dream of playing the Mashara. The Mashara is has a show every night and the greatest honor for any performer is the ability to make a second performance. Even wrestling and mock combats have been put on for people to watch.

Alterations

Since its creation, gnomish inventors have altered the roof so that it can be retracted to reveal the night sky. The real sky has been employed for both night and day performances.

Architecture

The building is made of stone and the dome itself upon the stadium is made from Glassteel. The translucent material is green in color and partitioned into nine identical triangular pieces and is nearly indestructible.
