Glory

For the amulet, see Amulet of glory.

The Glory interface viewed from the colosseum scoreboard.

Glory is an intangible reward obtained from the Fortis Colosseum. Players must complete Children of the Sun to gain access to the Colosseum and increase their Glory.

Every time the player completes a wave, they will earn Glory, in which the amount gained is dependent on the player's performance - damage taken, time spent, errors made, and types of handicaps selected. A player's Glory does not accumulate like a currency, only their personal best matters. The player will retain Glory even if they die during a subsequent wave, but not if they teleport out.

The more Glory you have, the more permanent unlocks you have throughout all of Varlamore, where citizens may reward you based on how much has been earned. It is possible to achieve the title of Grand Champion without full completion of the Colosseum.

NB! Be aware that the glory system is not cumulative. Instead it works on personal best system. For example: to unlock bank chest inside the Colosseum, you have to earn 2000 points as your personal best of the whole run, not gather and spend the points like in a shop.

Earning Glory

The amount of glory a player earns in the Colosseum is based on four contributing factors: Completion Bonus, No Damage Bonus, Modifier Points, and Time Bonus.

Earning Glory

Wave	Completion Bonus	No Damage Bonus	Modifier Points
1	100	100	200
2	200	200	450
3	300	300	700
4	400	400	950
5	500	500	1,150
6	600	600	1,350
7	700	700	1,600
8	800	800	1,800
9	900	900	2,000
10	1,000	1,000	2,200
11	1,100	1,100	2,400
12	1,200	1,200	2,600
Total:	7,800	7,800	17,400

Time Bonus

Wave	Starting Points	Points lost per tick (0.6s)
1	500	1
2	1,000	2
3	1,500	3
4	2,000	4
5	2,500	5
6	3,000	6
7	3,500	7
8	4,000	8
9	4,500	9
10	5,000	10
11	5,500	11
12	6,000	12

The theoretical maximum Glory would be 72,000 if all waves were completed on the first tick. Taking the fastest possible wave completions into account, the likely limit is somewhere between 60,000 - 65,000.

Rewards for increased Glory are unlocked at specific threshold amounts, and come with an associated title. All rewards are considered untradeable.

Glory Expert

Gloria is an expert on matters of Glory. She resides in the atrium of the Fortis Colosseum, wandering near the colosseum scoreboard, which she personally updates. She provides information on how Glory works, the rewards for increased Glory, and she can check the player's current rank (which is also visible on the scoreboard).

Trivia

• With the exception of 'Challenger', the titles associated with Glory tiers also exist in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's 'Arena' faction, which is focused on gladiatorial activity.
