The next morning, a group of Copper-skinned Orcs waited outside the doors of Alex and his expedition party, ready to escort them to the arena.
An optimist might say the Orcs were there to ensure no harm befell the party before the duel. A pessimist, however, would recognise that they were there to make sure no one attempted to flee the sacred challenge.
Whichever was true, Alex didn't care.
Ushered forward by the Orcs, Alex and his expedition party made their way toward the arena.
If there was ever a way to subtly announce to the world that duels were held here in the highest regard, it would be not placing one's residence or fortress at the centre of their territory—usually a territory's most prestigious district—but instead placing an arena there.
