A four-dot Fire aspect manse that has become a unique social center in Gem, as well as where Largo found his fortune. It produces a Candent Carbuncle. The Coliseum is a great stone structure with numerous rooms throughout and a maze of corridors beneath. It is a particularly large manse topping a particularly nasty demesne. Most of the spectators are unaware that the structure is a manse, but the owners and most Exalts who attend know.

  • A four-dot Fire aspect manse that has become a unique social center in Gem, as well as where Largo found his fortune. It produces a Candent Carbuncle. The Coliseum is a great stone structure with numerous rooms throughout and a maze of corridors beneath. It is a particularly large manse topping a particularly nasty demesne. Most of the spectators are unaware that the structure is a manse, but the owners and most Exalts who attend know. The Coliseum requires a particularly interesting kind of maintenance. The Essence in the structure is particularly deadly and difficult to tame, thus the large structure and unique maintenance. There is a constant slow Essence buildup, which is impossibly to entirely geomantically eliminate, which is bled off by coliseum fights. This isn't enough to keep it down, though, and it slowly accrues to the point where it's a problem over about five years. The best solution to this is a tournament, one which places the Hearthstone itself as the prize. As the winner attunes (or possibly re-attunes) to the manse, all of the excess Essence accrued bleeds off into the sands and stone beneath the stadium. The former Hearthstone bearer may or may not participate in the tournament, but he must surrender the gem to the winner. Best estimates place the manse on a three-year clock until the manse explodes, regular fights double this to six years. Thus, the tournament is held every five years, just to be on the safe side. While the party is entitled to attune to the manse and carry the Hearthstone, they are not the legal owners, rather they are the current carriers of the title of Coliseum Champion.
