                                      SPY REPORT

Greetings, my darlings! Sidara Brightbell here, quill freshly inked and my ears still 
ringing from the roar of the crowd. Turn 269 did not disappoint, unless, of course, 
you wore the crest of the Darque Knights, who have found themselves offering too many 
warriors to Aringhol's embrace. The shadows grow hungry in Seam!

At the top, we started the day with Kye Smallfoot as the Duelmaster. When the day 
ended, Kye was still the Duelmaster along with the Chartered Recognition Leader. Kye 
secured another bloodfeud victory over Roger, Rodger. The win marked another 
redemption for Smallfoot's fallen comrade, Toz Fireshield. Kye's time on the sands of 
Seam is drawing to a close. A call from the Commission came at the end of today's 
matches for him to join the Advanced games on the Isle of the Eye.

Meanwhile, Rubber vs Glue continues to bounce back, sticking firmly to the top team 
spot. Their warriors delivered another strong performance with Bug assassinating Hans 
the Wolf in a crowd-gasping match! Not the cleanest victory, but in Seam, it is about 
survival, not style.  The Warlords surged three spots upward. The Ogre duo both flexed 
muscle and might, scoring wins to remind everyone the old guard is still a force in 
the pit. The other teams, except Darque Knights, held steady. Thirsty Thugs watched 
Psyde's popularity soar after a brutal six-minute duel with Melanroh.

Far Travelers continue to learn the ropes in Seam. Emile took his first loss at the 
hands of Duo Lingo, while Mankar fought off advances from Tattletale. The Travelers 
appear to be quick studies, though Seam can dull the wits faster than a blunted blade. 
Darque Knights caught attention for all the wrong reasons. Syd Frostfire was sent to 
the Dark Arena, and Hans the Wolf fell on the sands. The mourners barely had time to 
clear the pyres before the next body was heaved upon them. One wonders if the Knights 
are cursed, or if their thirst for vengeance has outpaced their training.

The sands, and my ears, have settled. Whether swinging a sword or hurling an insult, 
the arena reminds us that glory and the grave are never far apart. Until the next 
time, my sweets, shine while you can. The darkness always waits!

                                          Hugs and Curses,

                                          Sidara Brightbell
