After being beaten for a while, you are taken to a training arena where there are some gladiators, a young trainee (such as you), the Doctore (trainer) and the Lanista (owner of the Ludus, the Gladiatorial School). After a brief conversation, the train begins. Varro, the other trainee, gives you clear hints about what you should do. After some time, he will tell you to "get beam" and "walk around the yard". The Doctore will force you both to do it 3 times. The train advances and in this new challenge, you have to take a rudis (wooden training sword) and "thrust and feint" the paulus (wooden post) that's in the middle of the arena. Once again, Varro will give you the hints to do it and when. The Doctore will force to do it 3 times. After this challenge, you will be sent to recover in your cell. It doesn't last long, though, until you're taken to the arena again for the final challenge: you will need to kill Varro, or dying trying to! If you manage to kill him, you overcame all the challenges and it is time to do your Sacramentum Gladiatorum. The Doctore will ask all the trainees to repeat after him some words, so after he says to repeat what he will say, you should "say I will endure to be burned, to be bound, to be beaten and to be killed by the sword". After that, you are welcomed into the brotherhood! You will then retire to your cell, where lies your gladiator armband. You should "get armband" and get "out" of the cell, to finish the quest.  ++

 +==== Silver lance of Olindicus ====
 +**Description:** Olindicus was a celtiberian warlord that lived 30 years ago. He was a legendary warrior that was known due to his victories against roman legions, whose success was due to wielding a Silver Lance that allegedly was given to him by the gods themselves. When he died in combat, the Lance was lost for some years but was found and currently is under the custody of Leukon, that lives in the oppidum of Nomantike. You should meet Leukon and win the challenge he will propose to you, in order to look at this magnificent and unique wepon.

Then, you will automatically move to an alcove of his home, where the Silver lance lies on ground and you just need to get it. If the lance is not there, means someone already did take it and, remember, it is a unique weapon, so it won't respawn.++
