Arena Lord
Summary
The Arena Lord is the Rudishva being who presides over the Arena in the Halls of Arden Vul. He is tentatively identified as Crellik-Var, the Entertainment Officer of the crashed starship the Beacon. If this identification is correct, he is a surviving member of the Beacon’s original crew who has apparently been operating the Arena since the ship crashed long ago.
Aliases
- The Arena Lord — his title
- Rudishva — referred to by this name in the session (his species)
- Crellik-Var — possible identity, based on the Beacon crew roster (Entertainment Officer)
Appearance
- Larger and thinner than a human.
- Two small horns on his head.
- Wears a purple jumpsuit.
- Wears a white scarf.
- Wears a red bracelet (possibly a Rudishva Command Bracelet).
Known Activities
- Hosts “Spectacle Days” at the Arena, announcing matches from his box across the arena sands.
- Presides over gladiatorial combat between fighters and arena monsters (e.g., giant beetles, manticores, chimeras, owlbears, hell hounds).
Identification
In Session 46, Ioannes went through the Beacon’s crew roster with Akla-Chah and believed he recognized the Arena Lord as Entertainment Officer Crellik-Var. Akla-Chah confirmed that not all Beacon crew members were accounted for and that it was possible some were still alive, though the Beacon crashed a very long time ago.
Notes
- The red bracelet he wears may be the second Rudishva Command Bracelet that Temrin’s map indicated was located in the Arena.
