Sanctuary Stadium
The Stadium is currently the base of the Third Command, a group of brutal mercenaries. This amphitheatre was once home to gladiators, circuses, chariot races, and other entertainment spectacles, until it was shut down as part of imposing order on the restless city. Bodyguards, mercenaries and aspiring soldiers are encouraged to register at the Stadium when arriving at the city; free board and food is provided for the first month. This increases recruiting, and allows troublemakers to be identified.
Third Command History
The Third Command are a group of brutal mercenaries brought in by Zalbar the Hellhound in an attempt to prevent Tempus and his Stepsons from taking over Sanctuary. The Third Command and the Stepsons had enough history and common personnel to co-operate despite their commanders' enmity. The Third Command took over the policing of the northern part of the city. One of their first acts was to shut down Chenaya and her stadium gladiators, and take the Stadium over as barracks.
Places
- The Stadium – this amphitheatre is now military barracks, parade grounds, and training facilities.
- The Wall – This wall is perhaps the best patrolled fortification in Sanctuary, short of the Hellhound quarters. It keeps locals from entering the Foreign Quarter. Usually only elite guards patrol this wall.
People of Note
- Kama – liaison between the Third Command and other forces. A coiled spring.
- Lysias – A Watch Commander. Usually fastidious.
- Sync – Overall Commander. Competent but having to play politics to survive.
Law
The Third Command. Issues are unlikely to escalate to the Watch Commander.
