Hippodrome of Heliopolis

Hippodrome of Heliopolis appears in Red Rising Saga.

The Hippodrome of Heliopolis emerges in Dark Age as a colossal arena-turned-battlefield within the city of Heliopolis on Mercury, transforming from a symbol of Gold opulence and chariot races into a desperate stronghold amid the Solar Republic's assault. Its vast scale and strategic position make it central to the brutal urban warfare that engulfs the planet, underscoring the saga's shift from personal duels to large-scale sieges. By the end of the book, the Hippodrome stands as a scarred monument to the Republic's costly advances and the fracturing of Society's legacy.
