A high tech Roman Coliseum this dome rises several miles into the sky, dwarfing any building that dares to stand next to it. A sleek monument to the new savage civilization, the chrome walls make sure that the only people that enter or leave are the Spectators, King Maggot, or the Champion.
It is a massive complex that spans many miles but I shall only describe what I feel the most vital.
There is a top security prison where the inmates or as they are commonly called 'Maggots' stay when they are not on the battlefield. They are allowed to freely communicate to the other prisoners and are fed three square meals a day. There are no rules enforced by the officers other than they cannot kill each other and they cannot escape. Everything is is fair game. Within the prison lies a futuristic gym, mess hall, prison yard, and of course cells where the inmates stay.
There is an armory that the prisoners visit before they enter the coliseum that has almost every weapon that you can imagine. No guns are smuggled back to the prisons due to high tech scanners that vaporize smuggled goods along with the smuggler. You will need the weapons and armor.
Many gangs plague the prison and it is notorious for the cruelties that the prisoners ironically inflict on each other even though they are all destined to die the same death.
Then there is the luxurious hotel where gourmet meals are fed to those wealthy enough to afford their steep prices and wine is flowing in abundance as the aristocrats of society mingle and attempt to isolate themselves from commoners. Those who wish to attend the events in style often rent these hotels so they do not miss any of the carnage. The most elegant and rich room is reserved for King Maggot when he is not attending the games.
Then of course... there is the Dome. Within these massive cold unfeeling walls there is a bloody battlefield that varies from an icy tundra to a scorching desert.
The environment here is changed daily and thus one round could be taking place in a jungle and the next event in a dungeon.
This is where you will die or leave your legacy.
Competitors are forced to endure every environment and become the Conquerors of Change.
And watching far above the normal spectators there is King Maggot, who observes the events with a steadfast gaze.
