The Tsanka and The Denaksa

Gladiators:

The gladiators are warrior-type wolves that were either captured or raised by the Denaksa for sport. Their lives are usually short and brutal, but if they manage to hold their own, they're allowed to retired at 6. A retired gladiator is given a medallion as proof of their earned freedom and they are allowed to live among the Denaksa. It's not uncommon for retired gladiators to turn around and work as masters of the ring, raising/training future generations of fighters. Upon earning their freedom they're given as many of five wives (depending on their standing among the people) and are typically given various bits of jewelry by their long time supporters/admirers. Upon their capture, gladiators are branded with a mark on either their hip or their shoulder. It's not unheard of for the best gladiators to be bred to one another and/or to a slave to secure their genes. Sexual rewards are also given to highly favored gladiators. Any offspring from such an encounter is typically raised as a fighter, a future breeder, or sold outside the ring for various purposes.
