FacebookOn the ceiling of The Arena are summaries of the rules, as rules written atop the rules themselves, recapitulating them.
On the floor in the Master’s Circle there is an elaborate drawing of the parts of the person that can be wounded. Each point is labelled. The diagram is revered as a work of art. It is subtle, showing the combatant in the context of other men, the world, himself, and his opponent.
On the wall, near the Circle, is a plaque with swords crossed between two columns of words, and above it the phrase “These Shall Not Stand”. What follows is a partial drawing, with only some of the words.
| THESE SHALL NOT STAND | ||
| Ad Baculum Ad Hominem Ad Misericordium Ad Populum Ad Ignorantium Ad Vericundiam Ad Novitatem |
 |
Ad Antiquitam Ad Crumenam Ad Lazarum Ad Nauseum Ad Numeram Ad Consequetiam Ad Invidiam |
