Pugilists' Guild Lore
In the Coliseum's early years, all fighters banded together, answering to the same lanistae, training in the same ludii. Even- tually, however, those who fought with their fists parted ways with those who took up the sword. From the start, this new group of pugilists was largely one of equals offering his fellow brawler support. All this changed with the inception of legendary fighter Cornelia as head of the association. So masterful were her feats on the bloodsands that men and women came from all corners of the realm to spar under her mindful watch. In time, the organization had devoted itself to training, and, fifty years ago, officially changed the sign above its doors to read "Pugilists' Guild." In addition to instructing new talent, it is also a hub for those who earn their keep with their fists. [1]
