Arena
The Imperial City Arena is a gladiatorial combat pit where brave warriors can test their mettle against several foes for fame, fortune, and glory. Participating in the Arena offers a unique combat-focused diversion from the main quest and guild storylines, allowing players to hone their fighting skills and earn sificant rewards.
To join the Arena, players must first visit the Arena District in the Imperial City and speak with the Blademaster. After a brief introduction and a demonstration of your combat prowess, you will be enrolled as a "Trainee." From there, you will progress through a series of increasingly difficult matches, facing different types of enemies, including bandits, goblins, and even Daedra.
