(Here, anyone who's interested can have their characters spectate the Fight between Malara and Nasci. Spectators are welcome to view in the bleachers, and can read more about the arena Here. Will tag this NSFW if necessary)
The air crackles with electricity as the crowd roars in the distance. The classy white marble and Greek architecture of Allfair Arena might understandably be mistaken as an old monument, but the energy of the crowd brings it to life. Even from outside, the sound of a woman shouting commentary on the match, matching and increasing the enthusiasm of the audience. Over the gated entryway, letters are printed in ancient Greek. “όλα είναι δίκαιο στην αγάπη και τον πόλεμο” stands most prominently. Fitting.
The inside is quite sleek and modern. The Arena can seat a huge amount of people, roughly 20,000 at maximum capacity, though the norm is about half of that. The bleachers are well-crafted and comfortable, almost like a movie theater, and a stark contrast to the classic marble design of the amphitheater. There are your typical nosebleed seats, though even those are quite high quality, and then there are your luxury suites, with large glass windows allowing the richer of Manta Carlos’s inhabitants to look down from more comfortable accommodations. Many an Escort lingers outside these suites, and some even in the bleachers, attempting to entice the audience member who may not be sated by the carnage.
The arena itself is never the same twice. The floor moves and changes almost magically, sometimes merely being hard marble in a large circle, other times a huge forest or a mountain, and once, a shark-infested ocean. Maria can change any aspect of the terrain at will. There, gladiators compete, against each other, against nature, or maybe against the arena itself.
At the head of the arena, seated on a throne, sits Maria Allfair herself, watching, as always, directing the energy of the crowd and providing commentary on the fight, occasionally revealing a tidbit about the fighters or manipulating the arena for the sake of variety. From this throne, she controls it all.

A comet of black and gold streaked out of the sky, landing with an almost delicate thud against the main entranceway of Allfair Arena.
