Composure's Coliseum is a large coliseum belonging to the Divine Composure which holds games and sporting events.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
The coliseum is a massive inverted step pyramid, supported by columns on the outside. Within, there are bleachers, with box seats at the lower levels for honored guests.
In Twilight Mirage, the middle space filled with the Mirage, which became the virtual space where the competitors appeared for each week's Mystery. As snacks, they served churros in fruit, edible flower, and toasted bean flavors.
History[edit | edit source]
Twilight Mirage[edit | edit source]
“
In the year 28350AM, in the middle of a boom in historical interest on the part of the Fleet's citizens, the Divine Composure built a this innovative structure that blended virtual mesh space and and material reality. At first, the Coliseum simply offered its audience a place to watch re-enactments of foundational events in the broad history of the Milky Way. But not content with pure replication, Composure's excerpt made these simulations interactive, allowing for outcomes far different than the recorded past. Because of the many possible outcomes, these re-enactments offer the public a chance to consider other possible worlds. Attendees describe the experience as stimulating to both mind and soul, and it is due to their popularity that the events continued long after the death of Composure.”
The building was taken from the Divine Composure after its death, and integrated into Empyrean's city ship, Séance. The whole region of the city surrounding the building had an inverted buildings motif.
PALISADE[edit | edit source]
By the year 1429 of the Divine Principality's Perfect Millennium, the revivified Composure presided over the same building, now relocated to an island on the south of Palisade. This was one pillar of the Frontier Syndicate's efforts as part of the Bilateral Intercession, serving as the arena for its televised deathmatches (similar to mech football but more deadly). These were used both for mining data on battle performance in mechs, and to spread the Adagio in G through sports programming.
