We all know Mt. Caesar isn’t exactly the most interesting of mountains - you got your two paths, one secret, a couple of chests, and that’s pretty much it. Thus:
Nero Arena
The Meat
Essentially, it would just be a large arena situated in the mountainside, a small hub for more combat-focused quests and an area to “train”.
Also, Vetex could loredump about Ravenna more there.
Example Quests

(still wonder why the braindead nobles didn’t build rich person land on it, like come on you idiots that shits peak strategical land not to mention you can separate rich from the poor better by making it a hike up to the rich guys)
this sounds great, i think it’d be cool and it wouldn’t be too hard to add to the top of the mountain either if the mountain is basically already there
You could make it connected to Poseidon as well, either intentionally or unintentionally. Since his shrine is on the island, the trainees (Meat Morsels hehe) feel more powerful after they drink some of the shrines holy water, or take a swim in it, which is why they’re able to push themselves so hard. They could know about Poseidon’s power and intentionally chose the mountain for that purpose, or it was a coincidence that allowed them to be more powerful.
Ah, seems like you’re confusing Mt. Caesar with Mt. Orthrys - Mt. Caesar is the giant anthill smack in the middle of Ravenna, though more stuff for Orthrys would be nice as well
bro i originally thought it was for orthrys too
(still epic suggestion tho, both the anthill and mt.orthrys need some content, orthrys is literally my favourite place because of the scenery and layout but it really does need some more content, maybe animals?)
