With the ever growing understanding of how critical a role sports, in- and of- themselves, play within society; I wanted to throw out a quick question regarding what athletic sports are commonly entertained within the city of Korvosa?
I could hypothesis that some sort of swimming event, and possibly a variation of rugby, might be popular amongst the trainees at the Endrin Military Acadamy. The Great Tower might be the focal point of an aerial sport amongst the hippogriff riding marines of the Sable Company. And finally, a popular sport, entertaining the noble houses, the nouveau riche, and many common folk, might be horse racing.
Although all of these could be well seeded ideas, I don’t see any specific references to support their logistical feasibility, either in the text, or the map of the Guide to Korvosa. (i.e. Sporting grounds or fields.)
Does anyone have any ideas toward this concept? And, in lieu of the subject matter, I’d like to openly ask what thoughts people have about possible sports that would be entertained by the population of Korvosa? (NB: In specific regard/relevance to the general population’s urban lifestyles and political affiliations with Cheliax – if these factors even do indeed play any consideration!)
