Prove your mettle in the Arena Challenge, at the Newport Arena.
Walkthrough
Find Veteran Sael (Southern Newport •) .
You say, 'Hail Veteran Sael.'
Veteran Sael says, 'Greetings, Warrior. Welcome to the Fighter's Hall. Within these walls you will find supplies and training, so that you may hone blade and skills in your quest for perfection. If you are reliant on your own skill, you can also take the Arena Challenge.'
You say, 'Hah! Nothing is a challenge for me.
Veteran Sael says, 'Brave, are we? Anyhow, it is simple. To advance your rank in the hall, what better test than one of your prowess in melee? Venture into the dungeons below the Arena and speak to the Cagemistress. Tell her you wish to challenge the beasts.'
You say, 'What are the rules of the fight?'
Veteran Sael says, 'You must fight alone - you may not have any help. Any spells, potions or other magical aid must have been consumed here in the arena at the time right before the fight, and spells cast by others are expressively forbidden. You will find yourself unable to enter the fight if you have disallowed spells affecting you.'
Head down into the dungeon area to Cagemistress Crellnia (Southern Newport • Below the Arena) .
Round One - The Brawler
You say, 'I wish to challenge the beasts.'
Cagemistress Crellnia says, 'Hah! You think yourself of tough enough material to take on the challenge, do you? We'll start you off with something simple then, pup. I have released a gnoll captive into the Arena. Venture up and kill it, then take its ear to Sael. Be warned, though. We allow no outside interference in the fights, and if you attempt to receive any assistance, you will fail.'

Round Two - The Fighter
Return to Cagemistress Crellnia.

Head topside and over to the opposite side of the Arena. There, you will find a captive lion (Southern Newport at Arena •) waiting for you. Defeat it without help to receive a Dark Lion Mane.

It's waiting for you in the arena. Take your belt back to Sael along with what you find on the beast... if you win.'

Important Notes & Information
Note: Buffs and healing: You are NOT allowed any outside interference, or you will not get credit for the fight! This means nobody healing you, buffing you, or helping you to kill the beast. You must win solo, killing each beast all on your own. Potions that are allowed for your level range are allowed.
Note: For 'evil' races: you will need to enlist the help of an enchanter who can cast illusion (human worked for me). Have it cast on you, then go talk to Veteran Sael (he is the warrior GM), and follow the dialogue. Now head down into the dungeon and talk to Cagemistress Crellnia. Say to her, 'I wish to challenge the beasts' and she will then spawn the first beast for you upstairs in the arena. At this point you will need to drop the illusion buff to kill the beast. Once the beast is dead, and the drop pops into your inventory, you must have the illusion buff recast upon you in order to be able to talk to Veteran Sael & Cagemistress Crellnia again. After obtaining your first belt, go down to Cagemistress Crellnia, rinse & repeat.
