Summer of Lore #62: The Crystal Arena

Built entirely out of crystal from the nearby quarries, the Crystal Arena is as beautiful to look at as it is to watch some of the competitions that take place inside. While it is mainly used for athletic events, it is not unheard of for it to be used as a concert or speech venue.

No matter where you sit in the arena, there's not a bad seat in the house. Natiliene has her own private box near the top seats, but only guests of hers are the only ones allowed in besides her, her entourage, and other Laryans.

The average tournament usually lasts one or two weeks, and typically involves racing, non-lethal duels, and tests of skill, although longer tournaments with a different schedule of events are not unheard of. Water events have their own facility, so as not to damage the delicate crystal (it can tolerate a rare hard rainstorm, but not an outright flood)
