Prestige
A combatant gains prestige for successfully surviving a bout in The Arena. No prestige is awarded for dying in The Arena. Combatants may choose their fate prior to entering The Arena for a bout: a difficult battle or a deadly battle. If the combatants select a difficult battle, each survivor receives one prestige. If the combatants select a deadly battle, each survivor receives two prestige. Combatants are given ranks according to their level of prestige. In addition, prestige plays a role in shops and services available in The Demiplane of Conflict.
The only way for a combatant to escape The Arena, other than death, is to reach the rank of Champion, at which point the Master of Conflict will grant the character free access in and out of The Demiplane.
