The Arena
The Perished Lands arena comes in two flavors. The free for all, and the challenge.
The Free-for-all
This arena is run by high immortals for the enjoyment of the players. It is free to enter, and available to all, regardless of race, class or level.
All the contestants in the arena are given 'odds', based on their chance of winning. These odds can be used by players outside of the arena to bet on who they think will win the arena. The higher the odds, the more that player can win. also, half the value of the bet will go towards a prize to the winner of the arena, no matter on whom the bet was placed. This will not affect how much can be won by the bet placed.
When entering an arena, all players are totally healed, and all spell effects are removed. Spells may be re-cast in the arena.
Also, when the arena finishes, all spell effects are removed, and another total heal is received, then each player is player is returned to their home city.
You can not lose any experience or items in the arena.
The Challenge
This arena is player driven.
A player can challenge another player to a dual. Then, if the challenged player accepts, both players enter a private arena. When entering the arena, all spell effects are stripped, and a total heal given as normal.
As in the normal arena, odds are produced, and other players can bet on the outcome.
But, when this type of arena finishes, no full heal is given to the players.
