School Name: Ennios Gladiatorium
School Back Story: Ennios gladiatorum, situated within a day from Kettleplow have gained quite a repetition among the locals. Most of the gladiators consists of slaves from the many raids that Kettelplow conduct. Rumours say that Caius is't very selective when buying these slaves, instead he proclaims that it is the mind and not the body that important when shaping great gladiators. Something that everymen may have, not matter their background.
Arriving at the Gladiatorum the slaves get to do many seemingly mundante tasks. Lifting logs back and fourth, counting frogs in the swaps, throwing away the food they are supposed to eat etc. Here several slaves usually snap, and those who do becomes target practice for the more experienced gladiators.
This goes on for several days. Under the supervision of Mayard Carter the slaves will to live slow drains out. Until they are entirely empty and apathetic to weather they live or die. Only then there real training starts. They learn to fight without any fear of death. Only then they can shut down anything else than the battle, nothing else is important.
Because of the rather remote location of the Gladiatorum. Adalina and Carter is able to create several different scenarios where the gladiators may train and learn. A fast and cold mind is important in the gladiator games of Kettelplow. And Caius Ennio aims to prepare his gladiators for anything.
School Location: A few miles outside of Kettelplow.

Brutal Trainer: Gladiators who train regularly or recently under Mayard may enter combat with less than full health.
Miss Adina (Psychologist): With the blue eyes and short orange hair she may look like quite the innocent women. She is not. While most of the theoretical knowledge of the human mind is lost, Adina has conducted many interesting experiments over the years, gaining her significant practical knowledge if her field of expertise. She is helping Mayard break down the slaves, rebuild them to proper gladiators, devise genius training exercises and scenarios, create loyalty towards the school among the men, educates them in the flaws of the human mind and how to use that knowledge in the arena.
A psychologist obviously has many advantages in a school like this.
Gladiator Psychologist: Miss Adina takes a small bonus to any action involving Gladiators.
Experimental Psychologist: Miss Adina’s methods sometimes backfire in spectacular fashion. There is a tiny chance that she could reduce the tactics skill or moral of any Gladiator she works with.

Town Of Origin: Foreign
School Name: The Vodnik's Shanty
School Location: Mouth of the bay on southeastern island, southern side.
School Backstory: Following some dealing back down in Elesia, Tadeáš was tipped off to a small, recently abandoned coastal hamlet. Quite apparently, some shady group went off and drowned some of the poor sods living here. After a few arrangements with the survivors here there, modifying the buildings to suit his needs, providing some representation to the outside world for the hamlet, and away it goes. Thankfully, despite whatever event causing the deaths of those poor souls, the old, small but still usable shipyard is still usable in case some waterborne transport is ever required. How it got the name of Vodnik's Shanty? Well, the Vodnik is a waterborne creature of drowning, of course.
Employees:
-Yusef Jafar, Courier.
--A like minded free brother Tadeáš met over in Sandash. Quite a good rider and runner, if a bit jumpy.
-Bombello Astolfi, Able Seaman.

Owner Name: Verik Caedrin
Owner Town of Origin: The Capitol
Owner Back Story:
Former slave: Even now, the signs of slavery are visible. Though not important around bandits, nobles are not known to converse with slaves that are not their own
School Name: Final Salvation
School Back Story: Little more than a tidied up shack on the outskirts of Sandash. Verik offered the promise of great fortune and what little things of value he had accumulated over the years to its undisputed owner Ellian Malkov, in return for the right to use the building, and assistance in setting up a new gladiatorial school. Being a long-time resident of Sandash, Ellian had the right connections to help Verik get the school off the ground. Of course, if they don't make it big now, they can each expect to have a good number of people out for their heads.
Employees:
Ellian Malkov, business partner
Fugitive and veteran resident of Sandash. Wouldn't even have bothered looking at Verik if he wasn't almost as desperate and thrice as greedy as him. Has some powerful ties with some powerful people, and has agreed to help Verik in any way he can. Just so long as it ultimately leads up to the both of them (but mostly him) becoming filthy rich.
Connections: Good connections allow for the procuring of favours
Greed: Pretty self explanatory (Whatever you have him do, it cost more money than normal)
Henri Alwin, informant
Good friend of Ellian's. Always keeps him up-to-date on any interesting happenings in the area, and does a nice job of keeping an eye on the competition, too...
Informant: 25% per turn of providing useful information
False data: His sources are not always to be trusted

Nobleborn: It might not be worth much, but a title is a title, and it might open doors
Jealous rivals: When you rise in power, there’s a chance you meet some dangers from the past
School Name: The Bastards Ring
School Back Story: Upon arriving in this strange new land, Stiric found himself at the Capitol. A smoggy city filled with crime and a fair share of gladiator fights, Stiric originally entertained the thought of fighting in the ring. He eventually decided against it, instead seeing quite the lucrative business opportunity in forming his own ragtag group of gladiators with his wealth. Using about half of his money, he bought a rather spacious facility to house his future gladiators. With the remaining amount, he practically randomly picked a few gladiators at the slave markets to be sent to his newly formed school. Stiric clearly isn't putting much planning or thought into this business opportunity.
Employees: Renolds, "Doctor": A scrawny man, born deep within the industrial parts of the Capitol. Practically taught himself all of the rudimentary medical and first aid knowledge he has, learning quickly through trial and error due to the high rate of casualties and accidents often happening in the factory districts. Met Stiric by chance, stitching the noble up after he got in a rather nasty bar fight.
Succesfull Field Surgeon: Bonus to “simple” operations
Unregistered Medic: Without papers, acces to medicine is often limited to the black market
Leon, Gunsmith: A towering man with a large build. Involved in the complex trade of crafting and repairing guns via old blueprints left behind by past generations. Stiric met him after spending a few hours wandering around the city, looking for someone who could actually repair a few of his antique pistols he had on him. Decided to hire him after doing such a good job fixing and generally improving upon the original design of his guns.
Antiquary Gunsmith: Bonus to restoration and construction of older fireweapons
Artisinal Pride: Leon doesn’t like to see his work damaged, or worse, destroyed
