| − | * The Arena - One day a week, various contests are played out here. The rules are dependent upon the type of match, as well as the participants, which may include Red Guardsmen, mages, prisoners, animals, and hired gladiators. Slavery is illegal in Hylar, so combatants that are forced against their will to fight (except for prisoners) are limited to those very few whose owners can either bribe or deceive the appropriate officials. Any outcome from first blood to death is possible, and it is not uncommon to see one follow the other in subsequent matches.

| − | The kingdom of Hylar was founded in 612 by Lord William Hylar. Prior to that, Hylar City (known then as Keeltown) was a simple fishing village that had existed for about four centuries. Lord Hylar chose the site as his base of operations, constructing the Old Bailey and ruling there for thirty years. Upon his ascendancy, as the Red Knight, to the plane of Celestia, the city became the center of worship of the new intermediate deity.
