History for Hippocrates
Durrl is the seventh son of the Lord of Citadel Rumnahiem. He is a dutiful son,
who learned the arts of war, and travelled the realms with his warband, The Lords of
Stone, conducting diplomacy for his Lord Father.
While away on campaign, the citadel was sacked. Durrl rushed home to find his
clan and clanhold destroyed. The Lords of Stone set out for revenge, hunting down
any and all who had a hand in the attack.
Years later, with most of his warband slain on the quest, Durrl finds the wife
and son of his eldest brother, Gretle and Krull. Taking them into his household, he
must settle down to provide for his growing family.
Joining the newly formed arena stable, Pleonexia, Durrl becomes: Hippocrates,
King of Nothing!
History for Ajax
As a young orphan, Ajax joined the circus when it passed through his village.
He performed labor, being large, even as a child. Time passed, but it was apparent
to all that Ajax was emotionally and mentally unstable. Finally, the circus expelled
him for questionable conduct around the equines.
Justin Sane, manager of Pleonexia, saw the potential others had missed.
Eccentricities can be entertaining, and if the huge wackjob dies in a pool of gore,
who would care? Let him be: Ajax the Horselord

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, CHIMLEVTAL? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, WAR, since CAESAR'S POOL
HALL took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now keep the taverns
open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THE ANIMALS, whose 1-4-0 this
turn dropped them by 7 into 15th. Ha! SHERMANS STABLE turned their 1-4-0 turn into
a 7th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on
hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 5-0-1 is nice, but don't get cocky, LORDS OF
VALHALLA, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see BLACK PLAGUE win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly.
Tsk, tsk, ULL HARDHAMMER beat ALESIA and ALESIA lost 14 points. You're breakin' my
heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, EXECUTIONER has lost the
Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old,
in with the new, as CORNELIUS takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Mourngrym Inn and Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale
at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From CHIMLEVTAL's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? THE STORMBRINGERS was the most
avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led
the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was THE
STORMGUARDS. Ha ha ha ha! ULTHAR STORMHELM was challenged more times this turn than
the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Now look at this.
CORNELIUS challenged down 55 against THE ANIMALS' BADGER. What a weasel! And golly
gee, CORNELIUS beat BADGER. Aren't we all surprised and impressed? JAN PREMYSL
OTOKAR was challenged by one of WAR's warriors this turn, with DELIUM having a lead
of 20 points going into the fight. And sorry to say, DELIUM bested JAN PREMYSL
OTOKAR, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term
I'm looking for.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and
girls, ULTHAR REDBLADE of THE STORMBRINGERS has added the final loss to his 10-17-3.
Tee hee! Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see DIRDEN I and
LORDS OF VALHALLA at The Mourngrym Inn and Tavern tonight celebrating their bloodfeud
victory over TARVOS TRIGARANOS. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in CHIMLEVTAL to get a drink than The Mourngrym
Inn and Tavern! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the
fine city of CHIMLEVTAL. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this
place-- Snide Clemens

Name-Change-O-Rama
The summer tourney brought a lot of people to the Isle who didn't appear there
normally. This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded
each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was
obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking
for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was
some kind of punishment.
You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial
differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two
were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same
hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness.
The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One-
Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar.
The rest of you...?"
The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv."
"Daiyla Kiv? Ah...."
"No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they
thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice.
"Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and
what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!"
"I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now,"
Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?"
"Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company
for spitting on the floor.
Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest
in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though."
"Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking,
although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time
in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could
change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill.
The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the
coffee, instead."
"You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff
like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?"
Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to
watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it."
"You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the
spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--"
"The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and
drained it gloomily.
"Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a
general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would
notice or mind."
