Experiencing the Bliss

1. Find someone who can arrange a fight in the arenaFighting in the Battlebliss arena is a potential path to fame and glory. Naturally, such acclaim must be paid for in blood, but earning renown by peaceful means is unknown in the Abyss. Respect is only given to those who earn it through violence, and the list of one's kills is the functional equivalent of a scholar's published bibliography or a merchant's bank balance. To start conquering the Battlebliss, first the Commander should find the person in charge of arranging the fights.
2. Fight in the arenaIt is time to debut in the Battlebliss. This is possibly the most pivotal moment in any gladiator's career — the audience will love or hate a fighter based on their first appearance. There is no middle ground here — such is the reflex response of spectators who experience a thrill while watching someone else get killed. As soon as preparations are complete, Zeklex should be informed that the Commander is ready to fight.
3. Buy gladiators for the arenaFor gladiators, having the goodwill of the arena steward matters almost as much as fighting prowess. It is the arena steward who decides whether a fighter will participate in thrilling battles that will make their name, or be relegated to the role of common butcher, perfunctorily dispatching one no-name contestant after another. So when the arena steward asks you for a favor, the smartest option is to agree. Zeklex is in need of new gladiators. If a shipment of new fighters is arranged for him, the Commander can count on his support in the future.
4. Fight a serious opponent in the arenaDefeating a mephit is hardly worthy of applause. True renown requires the defeat of a more formidable opponent. After all, the easiest way to gain fame is by killing one who already has it. Such are the economics of prestige in a world where demons enrich themselves by stealing each other's reputations rather than their wallets. To secure a fight with a more dangerous opponent, the Commander needs to talk to Zeklex.
5. Hire succubi to entertain the arena championEvery gladiator needs an incentive to fight. While beating and threats work on some, most fighters are motivated by the promise of pleasure and the fulfillment of all their desires. The arena champion is the living endorsement of these lavish promises. It is the arena champion who attracts new hopefuls, tempting them to fight for the chance of fame and a life of luxury. That means that keeping the arena champion happy is the prime concern of all who work at the arena. Zeklex has asked for another favor — he wants the succubi from the Ten Thousand Delights to entertain the arena champion, Gelderfang. A fatuous request it may be, but having Zeklex in one's debt may prove useful.
6. Defeat the Nahyndrian League fighterEven a kingdom of chaos such as the Abyss is not entirely devoid of rules. Without them, the very idea of a hierarchy would be impossible, and demons enjoy dominating others too much to live without a hierarchy. One such rule states that to qualify for a fight with Gelderfang, a gladiator must first prove themselves. To demonstrate that they are worthy of dying by Gelderfang's hand, they must be a member of the Nahyndrian League. The only way to acquire that status is to strike down one of the league's current members. Zeklex is ready to arrange the fight as soon as any preparations are complete.

22. Fight Gelderfang in the arenaA member of the Nahyndrian League is entitled to challenge the Battlebliss champion, Gelderfang. Defeating him will bring fame and glory, but will the fight be a fair one? Of course not, for the very idea of a fair fight is considered a naive and misguided delusion here in the Abyss. To deceive is a natural instinct, and demons are extremely prone to following their instincts. The dungeons and corpse pits of Alushinyrra are filled with fools who forgot the demons' love of fighting dirty and failed to prepare a few tricks of their own.
