The Old Duke
The stands lined the walls outside of Dawnharbour's main gate. On top of the thirty-foot-high walls were comfortable chairs and sails to keep the sun off the elite guests. Below them in front of the walls were wooden stepped stands for the public.
It was long enough for two matches at once. One at the northern end and another at the southern. While contestants were not limited to an area there were two boundaries to stop them intruding on the public and the other match.
The combatants started at fifty yards apart with the groups of five facing each other.
The young duke of Dawnharbour was atop the wall in a special box made for himself and his guests. With him was the Duke of Salastria and the Chancellor from Loctris as well as a few other dignitaries and aides. At the far end of the box were two of the heroes of Dawnharbour, the martial experts who would fight to protect the city.
