So, I had this interesting idea, and this may not appeal to a lot, I understand. That's okay.
For starters, let's just say in this instance that the world never got out of the Renaissance Era. Now, let's take all of history's great fighting castes from classical antiquity; European Knights, Japanese Samurai, Norse Vikings, Roman Gladiators, Greek Spartans, Persian Immortals, and so on, and throw them two at a time into a fighting pit. What's at stake you ask? Kingdoms. Kingdoms an Empires are made and broken in these gladiatorial events.
In this timeline, Rome is still a pivotal, if herdonistic place; a cross roads to all others. It's a place, among others that hold the great gladitorial games. The games are crucial because without them, there would be endless slaughter and the denizens of the vast stretches of land that it owns as it one of the largest, and definitely most wealthy, would be caught in the conflict. So, as a rule, the governing powers convened and decided that each power that be, would send an envoy and a fighter to the colleseum and particpate in death matches. The fighters gain renown and riches, the kings and queens gain territory in tournaments won.
Now, you may be asking why call this the Empress' Gladiator and not just Gladiator, an to that I have to say that there will be some political intrigue to this story as well. Someone is planning to assassinate the Empress of Rome. My character, a Roman Centurion, is made into a gladiator to find out who plans on assassinating her through the gladitorial games. Which gladiator will it be? How will they do it? When will their attempt arise?
