After several minutes, a horn blasts to signify that the first match is about to begin. You stand up on your toes and strain to see the arena floor. Walking in are two teams, each wearing garb and shields from their respective houses. The team on the left have sigils of griffins with black-and-white patterns, while the team on the right has sigils of horses with brown colors. They're about to do combat with wooden swords, clubs, and staffs. Varys decides it's a good time to make a bet with you; it's a game you often play with each other, even though you know neither of you has the coin to pay the other. Varys is kind enough to let you take first pick of the teams.
