Pit Lords

Pit Lord was an unofficial, but commonly used, title given to the slave owners who supplied the bloody gladiatorial games popular in the southern city of Systeros in particular. It is a reference to the fighting pits in which the gladiators train and, in smaller cities, fight.

These men bought, fed, housed and trained slaves to fight in order to provide entertainment for the populace. But they were not simply doing it to satisfy the people, at the end of each tournament, there was a significant monetary prize.

Most Pit Lords own dozens, if not hundreds, of gladiators. Some are simply worthless slaves used to make up the numbers, others are extremely well trained and equiped warriors who are among the deadliest in the Midlands.

Drigon Harai was bought by a Pit Lord in the slave market of Utor, for the local Colossea.
