Introduction[]
The Battle Arena is the Roman Colosseum of the Ironfell universe. Players are invited to participate in various forms of battle inside specially designed castle realms. The victor emerges with not only his honour, but also a hefty reward for entertaining the host.
The host is justice. The host will decide if any rules are breached and will take appropriate action against those who stray from the rules, disqualifying the player if they refuse to heed warnings.
Battle Arenas[]
The original Battle Arena castle was set up by Milkman. The castle was cleared of all walls and was designed as a clean slate for battles of epic proportions.
Shortly afterwards, Yellow103 created an arena. It never took off due to its small size. There was also a wager system in which each oppenant would give a certain amount to the operator. The winner would recieve what they payed, and half of their oppents fee.
Another Battle Arena castle was built by DaButler. This castle retained some of its walls, creating obstacles and barriers to promote interesting and varied tactics.
