The '''Stadia Coronae''', | The '''Stadia Coronae''', roughly translated from [[Tritonic]] as "Crown Stadium", is the arena of [[Hashan]]. Formerly named the "Stadia Nyktos", the arena had its name change provoked following the ousting of [[Twilight]] as [[Patron]] of the [[city]]. It is built around a handful of related areas: the village of Lisigia, the Northern Lisigian Wealds, the Darkshade River, the swampy Lisigian Wastelands, and nearby Damballah Lake. Encompassing this entire area is a ring of foothills, outwardly ascending to low mountain ranges. | ||

Chiefly composed of firs and beech trees, this dark, unimaginably dense forest harbours an oak or two as well. The wealds are so massive that, from some perspectives, the forest stretches onward to the horizon. In the northwestern section lies Lisigia Palace, a ransacked and dilapidated old structure which obviously once housed those in power over the Lisigia area. | ||

Its north end terminates at a small cavern, out of sight just south of the village of Lisigia, while its south end falls away into the southern foothills. A single pier graces this icy river on its northern end, while an aged stone jetty can be found further south. Upon the jetty, a pair of fierce ruby eyes are carved, likely symbolic of the Lord Twilight. | ||

Once the site of a massive, bloody, and decisive battle, the '''Lisigian Wastelands''' are the remnants of an ancient forest that once spanned the entirety of the Lisigia area. Now it is a boggy marshland, and only broken trees and the bones of the dead stand vigil as testaments to what once was. Through this swamp flows the Darkshade River. | Once the site of a massive, bloody, and decisive battle, the '''Lisigian Wastelands''' are the remnants of an ancient forest that once spanned the entirety of the Lisigia area.

Its waters are ever shrouded in a fine layer of mist, lending an aura of mysticism to them. At the centre of the lake stands a dark, massive obelisk toward which the lake's currents spiral inward. | ||
