The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and the Colosseum sands have been raked clean. It’s time to open the gates once more and welcome our competitors back into the arena. Come and walk beneath the great stone gates and look to the countless faces in the stands. They welcome your strength, your courage; they welcome you home! The Colosseum is Open! To celebrate the opening of the Colosseum, we’re inviting all Nemeions to take part in contests of speed and strength. Let us show the people, the Caesar, and the gods themselves just how powerful our Nemeion truly are!
───── Training Prompts ─────
⭐ All Nemeion who complete one of the following prompts will receive a reward as well as their completed Training. Unlike going through regular Training, only one prompt is needed in this event to unlock Training. This event also does not count towards any Training feats, as this is an event.⭐

⚔️ You may repeat all of the prompts as many times as you would like. Additionally, there is no daily cap. You may submit entries freely throughout the entire event.
⚔️ We are not accepting diptych entries. All entries must be singular images or pieces of literature.

Artwork Guidelines (Click me)
⚔️ All Nemeion depicted must be full-body, colored, and at least 75% visible to count for rewards.
⚔️ You must include a simple background with 3 - 4 unique element types (rocks, trees, flowers, pinecones, crops, buildings, etc). You can find a breakdown of simple vs. complex in the Adventure page. ⚔️ Images must be a minimum of 500 x 500 px to qualify. ⚔️ Black and white images are allowed as long as they are clean, shaded, and all Nemeion and elements are well defined. |
Literature Guidelines (Click me)
⚔️ Literature must be a minimum of 900 words. Collaborated entries must be 1400 words with equal parts between collaborators. Nemeion must be on task and mentioned often (at least 3 times) to qualify.
⚔️ Literature should be fluid and not completely comprised of nothing but dialogue. ⚔️ Additional "parts" (part 1, part 2, etc) entries are okay, provided each part of the story has a clear beginning and end. |
Prompt 1: Baby Steps
Helping newer Nemeions find their footing in the colosseum is as much a lesson for the teacher as it is for the student. By guiding younger cats through the fundamentals of combat, experienced fighters sharpen their own instincts, refine their techniques, and learn patience under pressure. Every correction given, every demonstration performed, strengthens the traditions that have shaped the colosseum for generations. Depict your Nemeion introducing younger cats to the colosseum training area. Show them guiding novices through the grounds, demonstrating combat techniques, supervising sparring sessions, or intervening when a training bout becomes too intense. Focus on mentorship, authority, and the transfer of knowledge.
Prompt 2: Trial of Endurance
The training grounds have been transformed into a long, winding endurance course that stretches across multiple types of terrain. Your Nemeion is guided to the starting point, where the ground ahead is clearly divided into sections: loose sand that sinks beneath their paws, shallow water that splashes with every step, and uneven stone slabs warmed by the sun. Marked posts and flags line the route, indicating where trainees must climb, balance, or push forward without stopping. Depict your Nemeion actively moving through the endurance course. Show them trudging through sand, splashing through water, climbing over stone, or pausing briefly to catch their breath before pushing on. Emphasize physical effort, posture, and interaction with the terrain.
Prompt 3: Predator Versus Prey
The training grounds have been reshaped into a dense, enclosed environment meant to mimic a true hunting territory. Tall grasses ripple in uneven patches, low stone walls break up sightlines, and clusters of fallen logs and rock outcroppings create natural hiding places. At the start of the exercise, roles are assigned. Some Nemeion are released first as evaders, given a short head start to find cover, climb, or conceal their scent. Moments later, other Nemeion are released as hunters, and are signaled to begin the pursuit. Hunters must move carefully, reading disturbed grass, broken twigs, and lingering scent trails rather than charging blindly. Depict your Nemeion participating in the simulation as either hunter or evader. Show them stalking through tall grass, crouched behind a stone wall, sprinting between cover, or pausing to read tracks and scent markers.
Prompt 4: Crowd Control
The training grounds are opened into a wide, enclosed field bordered by low fencing and natural barriers. Within it, a small herd of docile animals are released. They shift nervously as a group, sensitive to sudden movement, noise, and pressure. Trainers explain the goal clearly: guide the herd from one marked zone to another without scattering them, panicking them, or resorting to force. Nemeion are positioned around the edges of the herd rather than directly behind it. The exercise relies on body language, angled stances, controlled pacing, and deliberate movements to gently influence the herd’s direction. Moving too quickly causes the animals to scatter; hesitating too long allows gaps to form. Successful herding requires constant adjustment, reading subtle cues like when the herd bunches too tightly or begins to split. Depict your Nemeion participating in the herding exercise. Show them circling the herd’s perimeter, blocking a potential escape route, guiding the animals through a narrow passage, or calmly redirecting a stray. Emphasize posture, controlled movement, and teamwork.
Prompt 5: Escape From Confinement
The training grounds have been transformed into a fortified holding area meant to simulate imprisonment. Stone walls, barred gates, heavy chains, and narrow corridors create a claustrophobic environment where movement is restricted and visibility is limited. Your Nemeion begins the exercise restrained, confined within a cell, tethered by loose shackles, or guarded by trainers acting as sentries. The goal is not to use brute force, but to use awareness and ingenuity. Depict your Nemeion attempting to escape confinement. Show them testing restraints, slipping through shadows, squeezing through narrow passages, climbing walls, or evading patrols. Focus on tension, movement, and clever use of the environment.
All Nemeion who complete any of the available training prompts will have the chance to return any of the following rewards found below:

───── Chariot Racing ─────
The colosseum track is cleared and prepared for chariot racing, its packed dirt surface scarred with deep grooves from past competitions. Stone pylons mark the sharp turns of the course, while banners hang overhead, snapping in the wind as the crowd gathers. Chariots are lined up at the starting gates, each one hitched directly to a Nemeion, reins fastened securely to the harness around their chest and shoulders. Victory depends on more than strength alone. Awareness, footing, and timing determine who crosses the finish line first—and who stumbles under the weight of the race.
General Guidelines⚔️ Only two (2) Nemeion per player may be included in each entry. Additionally, you must own a Nemeion to participate. You cannot lease a Nemeion, and you cannot use a Caesar Lion for this event.
⚔️ Collaboration and commissioning your entry is allowed!

───── ⚔️ The Grand Tournament ⚔️ ─────
❓ In this Event, your Nemeion will be fighting other player Nemeion in a structured PvP Challenge. ❓
The Grand Tournament is a thunderous gathering of glory, rivalry, and ambition, a sanctioned arena spectacle where player-owned Nemeion face each other in single PvP combat. This is a group-hosted competition.
How this Event Works
|
Players sign up in the Tournament thread with a single Nemeion of their choice. Then, in a few days time, Admins will post pairings in a combat thread, and each player will meet their opponent. Once sign-ups are complete and pairings are posted, each player must complete an entry of their Nemeion facing off against their paired opponent.
Once complete, both players post their entry to their Tournament comment and wait for it to be rolled on the next Tournament day (each player can post their own unique piece, or they can collaborate with their opponent, and then both post the same collaborated entry). Whoever wins that round gets to move forward, and are paired with a new player until a single reigning champion remains. |

───── Clash of the Crowned ─────
❓ In this Event, your Nemeion will be facing off against one of
the Caesar's beloved Champions or Rising Stars. Choose wisely. ❓
the Caesar's beloved Champions or Rising Stars. Choose wisely. ❓
|
This year, instead of one reigning Champion taking the spotlight of the Clash of Claws event, the Caesar has decided to release his entire pride. Challengers have been summoned to face the full might of the Caesar’s chosen champions, each one more formidable than the last. These Lion Champions are not ordinary combatants—each one is a proven victor of the arena, crowned through strength, discipline, and unwavering loyalty. One by one, they step forward into the colosseum, their presence alone enough to hush the crowd as banners snap overhead and the stone walls echo with anticipation. |
