Tymon
City of Gladiators
The city-state of Tymon was founded by the famed
gladiator Maldar Tymon, a hero of Taldor's Fifth Army
of Exploration.
As the city's first Champion, Maldar set down the Four Rules of Law. The Rule of Blood states that any citizen who wins 10 fights in the Arena of Aroden is considered "bloodied"-a status that grants certain rights, among them the rights to own land and to carry weapons openly.
The Law of Defense requires all bloodied citizens to defend Tymon against outside aggression, giving Tymon arguably the most experienced army in all the River Kingdoms.
If a dispute cannot be resolved by civil means, the Law of Grievance allows it to be resolved by a duel in the arena. Finally, the Law of Succession allows anyone who has won 100 fights to challenge the current Champion to a duel to death for the right to be the new Champion.
Many adventurers from Tymon have experience in the arena. Some are veteran gladiators who want to test their skills against a wider range of opponents. Others seek new and exotic fighting techniques to bring back to the Arena of Aroden.

"Leadership in Tymon is not simpfy a case of might makes right. Strength and speed on their own do not win fights, nor do intellect and keen senses. To difeat an opponent in the arena, the gladiator must first win over the crowd. That is why the Champion is our ruler. " -Barven Freth, arena fight manager
