                             Notes from the arena champ.

The Final Edict of Octavian
Duelmaster of Kolact, Captain of the Imperial Guard

Three times she stood before me.  Three times she fell.  Three Blood Feuds answered.  
Three stains wiped from the honor of the Guard.

Ruby, once a killer, now a footnote. She never touched me this time. Not a strike. Not 
a graze. The girl collapsed in the first minute of combat, too weak to lift her blade, 
too arrogant to bow out. A warrior? No. A farce. And I will waste no more words on 
her.

Kolact, hear me now: This is my last stand upon these sands. The Lady has called. 
Darkholm needs another proven warrior. After one more battle, I leave this arena and 
take my place among the elite of our world. It is not retirement. It is elevation.

Before I go, I will not let the Runesword be handed to the unworthy by default or 
chance. I will not let Kolact fall to incompetence. I will challenge a brother-in-
arms, Treirus of War Hawks. Let glory be earned, not inherited. Let this arena 
remember that honor still guides the hand of the Guard.

To the War Hawks-you have sharpened your steel against the world, and Kolact knows 
your power. To the up-and-comers: fight with discipline, not desperation. And to those 
who wish to rule-earn it.

For the Emperor. For the Guard.

                                          -- Octavian, Champion of Kolact
                                             Captain of the Praetorian Guard
                                             Soon to rise beyond these walls

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Practice pays for DYNOMYTE, who pummelled BIG 
ROCK, to pocket 12 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, AJAX was 
winsome, after beating MOLDAVIUS and seeing him lose 5 points.  Well, Duelmaster 
OCTAVIAN challenged WAR HAWKS' TREIRUS.  Is a 22-9-1 good enough?  What can be a 
greater victory?  TREIRUS has taken his place as the top, as KOLACT's new Duelmaster. 
So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  
Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and 
SELENA is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't THE MOONDOGS proud!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  More important duties call me.  KOLACT, I 
leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Don Corleone's.  'Til 
next time-- Novgorodny Vir
