Thousands of years old, the city has been built up, trashed and rebuilt; it is now full of anachronistic buildings of other ages dotted among modern styles of construction. Cut through by a river, the north bank is largely modern construction, the southern regions holding more anachronisms. The Imperial Palace is here and many great arenas, for the city is home to gladiatorial combat, voluntary in this age (but not always so in the past), a tradition watched over by the dragons who dwell here on the great mountain whose slopes hold their homes and the Imperial Palace. This is the above all the city of the Emperor.
The highest status arena in Axis, where the Emperor himself comes to see games, presided over by Yalaran, a Gold Dragon of great age. Many wonder who will take over once he dies. All gladiators here are voluntary ones. Spectacular games are held on the major holidays.
