The void beast is wandering the city. It seems completely unconcerned with the fact that nearby people run away from it, screaming.
“Now aren’t you an interesting little thing…” a tiefling in a purple, white and yellow jacket approaches it confidently
It waves cheerfully.

Blue and gold twisting banners line the streets, flower petals scattered along the cobbled streets leading up to the massive arena. It's structured similarly to a colosseum, stretching high into the sky in a partial dome-like structure, though not quite covering the top. The path itself runs over the grassy prairie, widening out near the tall gate built into the side of the arena, portcullis currently raised to accommodate the large portion of competitors making their way through. Celebratory music in the form of war drums and horns rings out from the tops of the stands, flags of Zaidan held high and hung on steel poles above the arena. The archways of the structure are gilded with silver and wrought iron decor, covering each of the four gates. A small checkpoint is set up at each, where fully armored, armed individuals bearing griffon signets are carefully stopping and inspecting each individual making their way through. The arena opens today, with each individual assigned a drop zone and given a certain amount of allotted time to gather as many points as possible. The closest gate guard looks to be some sort of leonin with white fur and hazel-toned eyes, wearing gleaming armor engraved with runes. Their warhammer is slung over their shoulder, as they beckon for the next entrant to come forward.
Fives walks up. "Which set of rules would get me the most gold the fastest?"

An olive skinned woman in a bright purple ball gown carrying a fan and a halberd approaches them next, and nervously says, “Kaia Snow, Tier 4 duelist.”
The leonin passes over some sort of copper badge, nodding. "Your registration is complete. Zone 1 or Zone 2?" They ask, holding up two small disks. "If you are unaware the difference, Zone 1 contains a higher density and quantity of enemies, though they are weaker than Zone 2's and offer less points. Zone 2 has more challenging creatures, in a lower quantity."

The void beast tries to thrash against the spell, but fails to do anything. It puts its two armlike tendrils of void into its body, then takes them back out empty. They don't have any belongings.
The centaur uses Divine Sense, then casts Identify on the beast as an action. "Are you born of this world? Nod a simple yes or no in response."

The leonin raises an eyebrow. "Winning gets you the gold. You may choose between Zone 1 and Zone 2. Zone 1 contains a higher density of weaker enemies, while Zone 2 carries a much lower density of more challenging enemies. Whichever you believe will allow you to win the fastest depends on how well you know yourself. I am simply a gate guard."
