Chapter 7-10
District Three sits directly to the north of Deuce. This area is known as Beverly’s Rodeo or simply ‘Rodeo’ for short. The word Rodeo is generally understood to mean ‘a place to buy fine goods’. Whoever Beverly was has long been lost to history, though we do know the name has pre-System origins.
Rodeo is the home of many of the best restaurants and shops in Lost Angels. While a few ultra-exclusive businesses operate within Central itself, the next tier down make their homes in Rodeo, along with the tier below that. A working-Class family might splurge on a once-in-a-year treat here, but they are far more likely to visit in order to take in the spectacles of the Arena.
The Lost Angels’ Arena, originally located in Deuce, has now resided in Rodeo for over two centuries. The massive stadium, capable of seating thirty thousand spectators, is the premier entertainment venue of the city and hosts events every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Primarily focused on gladiatorial combat, it also occasionally hosts popular musical performances and other shows.

Some were pulled by tri-horns, others by types of animals I didn’t recognize. A few of them even looked like smaller, more docile versions of the quadrosaur that had almost killed Tara and H’ruk. I Identified one that had three horns like a tri-horn, only the ones on the sides swept sharply forward, and it was covered in scales with clawed feet.
