The Dodecagon

The Dodecagon was a temple devoted to Heris, the god of battles, in Nightguard Borough, Temples Ward in Trynser City. In 1728, it was desanctified as the sect moved to more affordable lodgings. They retained ownership and used the former temple as a fighting arena. This allowed them to charge admission, sell drinks and food, and allow gambling.
The building was called the Dodecagon because it had twelve sides. It had a twelve-sided dome up top. Inside were twelve statues of famous warriors and soldiers that supported the roof and the dome, all facing the center of the room. A 30' statue of Herix was kept stowed away, and was rolled out and elevated before fights every night.
The fighting ring was 40' square, and the pit was sunk 5' below the innermost seats. Rambunctious fights often spilled over into the stands, and the closest seated patrons often took a whack at fighters within the ring. On the other hand, they risked getting pulled into the ring and getting the tar beat out of them.
Once a week, usually on Mustering, they had a 'mob fight night', where mostly amateurs with a few regulars got into the ring to try to be the last one standing.
