How to lose a pretender without even trying

[SurvivalistMerc]

I learned Ctis Miasma and warm-blooded pretender the hard way. It was my very first rainbow mage. Hehe. I haven't played Ermor since I hear the AI does so poorly against it.

Does the AI booby-trap the arena? I have sent an atlantis pretender to the arena...that big atlantian guy...and have not had difficulty. I have seen the AI send SC pretenders to the arena also. Including one lich.

Does anyone know where the arena is located that the game takes place in? It doesn't seem to tell you in the message. I will sometimes have dominion over some but not necessarily all arenas...and would be willing to risk an immortal pretender if it's inside my dominion.
