                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, this wind is blowin' on out of here, Willaf. The Lady of the Isle has justly 
seen the worth in making me a Lord Protector. Thus, this is my farewell to our fair 
city. There is no shortage of claimants to the throne once I depart. May they prove 
worthy of the honor.

May the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                       -- Keenwind, your Duelmaster and Lord Protector

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of WILLAF.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  MENTOR-SHIPS3 had cause 
to celebrate, after ODYSSEY got 27 points by beating FINNY BONE.  A certain someone 
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 12 points to ODYSSEY. 
(Discrete enough, FINNY BONE?) Now I can't insult FREEDOM, as he has gloriously 
dueled to the top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) 
Word has it one team in WILLAF is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent 
to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Perhaps the warriors of WINDS OF HOPE should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of CADDYSHACK, so did that sorry team shy from WINDS 
OF HOPE If challenges were horses, JUDGE SMAILS could open up a fast food joint!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in WILLAF is the highlight of my life.  As the seasons 
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave 
this place.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid WILLAF 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
