A Life of Glory

A year in the House of Cinders. One life to make your own.

You were sold to a Roman gladiator school. Now every card asks what you will risk to survive it. Read your opponent, choose your allies, and decide what freedom is worth.

FIGHT FOR MORE THAN APPLAUSE
Choose the shield and sword, net and trident, or curved blade. Practice with fellow students, face changing opponents, and learn from victories and defeats. Even careful fighting leaves bruises. Wounds reduce your strength, treatment costs money, and a crowd that turns against you may demand your death.

FACE THE GREAT ARENA BILLS
A lion hunt. Fighters chained together. Six men with only one winner. House against house. A challenge from Asterion, a legend of the arena. Two different special contests punctuate each full career. Prepare your tactics, protect your allies, and arrive with strength left to fight.

REMEMBER THE PEOPLE BESIDE YOU
Share bread, keep a secret, or refuse an order to kill. Friends remember your kindness, rivals notice your loyalties, and standing beside one person can cost you another. Uncover fixed bouts, stolen burial money, forged accounts, and the guard captain’s private arrangements. Optional romances with women offer moments of tenderness and difficult promises.

FIND YOUR WAY OUT
Earn a champion’s release, buy your freedom, prepare a dangerous escape, leave with the woman you love, or help the house rise together. Eleven endings remember what you prepared—and what you could not save. Your fallen gladiators remain in the Graveyard; surviving lives keep their place in your history.
