Youxia (Portals) vs Jean-Baptiste de Villiers (The Mighty McLovin) - Youxia enters first
The duel is to take place on the small, almost round in shape, island in the middle of river. Several metres wide on each side of the isle, the river is unpassable barrier which forces both participant to stay on their piece of ground to the very end of fight. The holme itself is just a piece of barren land, covered with sand and rare clumps of grass. It's never been measured in any way, but it's big enough for ten men to stand in a row and still a bit of free space would remain. Small group of spectators have gathered on each bank of the river, but many of them are busy with their own businesses and give little to no heed to the events on the isle. Concerning weather, it's early winter already, the sun is shining, but the air is cool and first snowflakes slowly fall from the clouds above.
William "The Doctor" Kingston (DoctorWarband) vs Thorstein Höskuldsson (Raddeo) - William enters first
Small, wooden arena was build on the edge of the forest a long time ago, to serve as place of entertainment for local citizens. There is nothing but dry sand on the arena. Oval-shaped place is surrounded by simple wooden fence which separate duelists from spectators gathered around. Wooden lodge for local noble was built on the eastern side of the arena, but is empty today and peasants behind fence are the only audience. They came in great number, perceiving appointed fight as way to spent this warm, summer afternoon. Many of them wear hats and hoods to protect their heads from scorching sun.
