| During the period prior to the Great Loss, when the Valley was being molded by the DreamSmiths into what we see today, there was a great need in the Dream, for an open aired, large spaced area to conduct large gatherings, meetings and hold contests and sporting events for the general populous of the dream. All the largest areas had great difficulty with sound being able to travel from one end of a room to another, thus the tried and true method of a gradually rasied area we devised,the center of the room being its lowest points, raising as you get further away, allowing sound to travel further with its natural acoustics. Once this mighty achievement was completed,to the general amazement and joy of all those then dreaming within the City Walls, many great functions, debates and events were staged there. You will note the Spike in the Middle of the centre *stage*, many believing it to be a Sun Dial of some type for those at the games and meetings to gauge time...Infact it was both this and also used in the ancient and almost forgotten sport of Chakram Hoops, where by contenders throw Chaks (and other items) from varying distances to see if they will stick to the spike. Other such events conducted were the Great Push Races and Scare Slalom events, to name but a few. Once the Wars began the Ampitheatre fell into disrepair and disuse, there wasnt the spare time, or inclination for leisure and relaxation during those times as there had been prior..... If you listen carefully you can still hear the voices of the greatest orators of the dream preaching there words of wisdom, and the cheers of the enormous crowds whom gathered to spectate during the Dream Games. |
