ment. Virtually nothing is known of these beingsexcept that theysavor the carnage and clamor of battle. As such, they have
stockedthearenawiththegreatestwarriorsofalltime.Andyouhavejustjoinedtheirranks.
As a gladiatorin theArena Eternal, you must not only survive, butalso wineach and every battleagainstever more powerful
opponents. Don’t worry about getting “fragged,” the Vadrigar won’t be cheated of their favorite sport by a little thing like
death.Those who fall are instantly restored to life and immediately thrust back into the battle, perhaps a little wiser fortheir
misfortunes.
