The Order of Calhad is a Gladiatorial Order that is often considered the sister to the Order of Batius, but offers combative entertainment to the higher rungs of Society, alongside providing a more religiously charged theme to battle. The Arena serves as a grounds on which Gladiators can fight to the bitter end without a fear of death, in bloody and glorious combat in the name of the Spirit.
The Order was founded around the birth of the Regalian Empire upon the decree of Theomar the First, who spoke of the need for Ailorkind to maintain their strength, and to prove their faith before the Spirit. As such, the Arena of Calhad was created, using his Spirit-given capabilities, Theomar created the Primal Wards as to prevent the Arena from becoming a sacrificial pit, offering a means of revival for Gladiators partaking in fights.
The Order of Calhad derives its name from Mirvel Calhad, the first of the Calhad Custodians who properly formalised the arrangement of fights as well as the roles of the Custodians, increasing the funding for the Arena from the Noble Houses of the time.
In light of the recent tenure of Cedromar the First, the Order of Calhad has seen a revival, and operates out of the Imperial Palace to display the courage and pride of those that recognise the Spirit.
