  The city of Manator is built around a gigantic amphitheater formed around an actual Jetan Board of one hundred orange and black squares laid out on the huge playing field, known as the Field of Jetan. Normally, chess is played by taking opposing pieces, that is, when one piece lands on the same square of an opposing piece, the opposing piece is taken automatically. However, on the Fields of Jetan, when a piece occupies the square of an opposing piece, the square is contested in combat. A combination of chess and gladiator sport: who could ask for a better game?

    “Here they play at jetan with living pieces. They play for great stakes and usually for a woman – some slave of exceptional beauty. O-Tar himself might have played for you had you not angered him, but now you will be played for in an open game by slaves and criminals, and you will belong to the side that wins – not to a single warrior, but to all that survive the game.’


“The eyes of Tara of Helium flashed, but she made no comment."
