Legend

this reinforced cage was formed in the heart of The Broken Tusk, a bar and restaurant located on Reuss VIII. Dug into the ground and surrounded by plasteel walls, the Dool Arena was used to stage hand-to-hand combat between various opponents, for the pleasure of the patrons of the Broken Tusk. All combat in the arena was governed by the Dool Rool, which simply stated "no ranged weapons allowed in the arena." Everything else was fair game. It was later discovered that many of the lesser-known combatants who fought in the Arena were actually Imperial prisoners who refused to break under interrogation. Fights were often staged after-hours, with the audience being made up of a select group of top Imperial officers and their staffs. In events which became known as Survival Day fights, the captives were given two options: turn over the information, or defeat Tull Raine in one-on-one combat.
