Anchors aweigh! This boat is sailing away to the Isle of the Eye. I have helped 
elevate the team record while here, so mission accomplished. Who will be the next to 
sail across those hallowed waters?

Until we meet on the other side of the sacred sea, may the gods guide your blows 
straight and true!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MORDANT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team BLACK ARMADA was 
unseated this week as FANTASIA moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
4-0-0 record for the round.  There were bitter words at ARENA FELINES' guildhouse 
after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 11th.  Dark Arena 
anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how 
this week BLACK JUNTA went 4-0-0 to move up 4 in the rankings.  Did only my eyes note 
the 4-0-0 record which FANTASIA managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such 
a record will draw challengers!  TEENY WEENY caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BLACK DEVIN and was awarded 23 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ACEDIA put down LONGSPEAR, 
causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process.  The city has turned out 
in honor of PORT FINISH, for with its arena victory it may now lay claim to the 
highest position in the city!  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in 
duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MORDANT "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  MORDANT, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is EMU'S SPAWN, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding EMU'S SPAWN.  Indeed it was ENTERPRISE.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in MORDANT.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I 
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till 
we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no 
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
