The Feats of First Friday, also known as the Feats and First Friday, are duels held every first Friday of each month. Two Silvers battle one another and display their abilities in the arena in front of an audience. When the match is over, a flash of blue light will illuminate the arena floor and the victor is declared.

Description[]

On the event that a Silver champion is on the brink of death during a match, it is automatically ended and Silver healers will rush to the fallen champion, while the Reds are sent away from the arena.

Feats of First Friday

Kilorn Warren and Mare Barrow attend the Feats of First Friday.

Strongarms usually make up at least half of the fights, because their abilities and skills are best suited to the arena.

History[]

The Feats of First Friday was once an execution for prisoners and enemies of the state, and held in Archeon. Back then, Feats of First Friday was called Bowl of Bones. Only the Silvers were able to attend these executions until such time that it spread to the other cities and became a source of entertainment rather than for solely killing off enemies.

The Silvers eventually built arenas everywhere and granted the Reds admission. Over the time, attendance became mandatory for the Reds. Shade Barrow says the mandatory attendance happened because arena cities had a marked reduction in Red crime, dissent, and the few acts of rebellion.

Reds can be given 'lec papers (extra electricity rations) or food by Security officers for showing their enthusiastic participation. School and work end early so that everyone attends. Red who are considered "essential laborers" are given passes exempting them from attending.

Mare Barrow explains that First Friday are not about entertainment for Reds, they're a "calculated, cold, message."[1] Only Silvers can fight in the arenas because only a Silver can survive the arena. They fight to show their power and strength. "You are no match for us. We are your betters. We are gods. It's written in every superhuman blow the champions land."
