The principals of each academy were stationed in their own quarters, far away from the crowds and noise of the coliseum. Their lodgings were nothing like those given to guests or even the teachers; they were luxury suites, arranged almost like a small compound on the edge of the campus. Here, anything they required would be brought to them at a single word. Meals, information, attendants, even security , all was provided without question.
They were meant to be treated as dignitaries, as leaders of their institutions. The separation was deliberate. It kept them from being pestered by the endless questions of curious guests, and more importantly, it ensured that if they did want to conduct private meetings, they could do so without interruption.
