==== The Old Arena ====
A leftover relic from the city’s population apex just prior to the Jhonian invasion, the Old Arena was the home of gladiatorial shows, circuses, travelling fairs, jousting and other sporting events.  It was severely damaged during the Jhonian conquest, and the Jhonians decided to build their own complex inside the city walls (see Colosseum District).  The Old Arena has been abandoned now for nearly two centuries, and the locals avoid it completely, as the structure is unsafe (but too expensive to tear down).  Local children tell stories of ghosts and monsters that reside there, and local toughs challenge each other to spend the night within its walls.   At least three people have gone missing and presumably drowned visiting the place since the reconquest of the city, and the local authorities impose harsh penalties on anyone they learn has been visiting the place.
