Every warrior is issued a simple tunic with a number, and is thereafter treated as an enslaved gladiator. The gladiators are recruited by members of Roman aristocracy into teams, and battle one another in games. The objective for each gladiator is to impress the present Roman nobles to earn reward, but also to prove themselves before the gods. The pinnacle reward is to become the Champion of Mars. Mars himself will be present at a number of the games, and may bestow his blessing or even armaments to the most proven of gladiators throughout the event. At sundown, Mars will come forth before the Gladiators and choose his Champion of Mars. | The [[Feast of Mars]] is a set of tournaments and games in the theme of a Roman gladiatorial contest.
