Epilog
"It was a bold gamble," Lord Kinnishan said. "Lady Sheila is not sane, after
all--"
"So many centuries of living with the Grey Wand would destroy anyone's sanity,"
The Icelord agreed. "But it is known that even now, her mind holds to certain
patterns. However little she may care for the communities of Alastari, much less
individuals, she retains a fierce protectiveness for the land of Alastari itself.
She may not make the most rational choices in defense of the land, but she WILL
defend it." He sipped his wine while he turned over the problem in his mind.
Already it was slipping into the past, seeming almost to have happened to someone
else a long time ago.
High Lord Bosk snorted. "She caused the problem, and it was just sense that she
should fix it," he said.
"She caused...?" Shau'nin Snowbeard, Lord Kinnishan's chancellor, raised his
eyebrows in question.
"I think so, yes," The Icelord answered. "I don't know how the power-source
known as the Light of Barikala came into being, or when, but Lady Sheila must have
realized at once that it was dangerous to her land. Sane or not, she isn't a stupid
woman by any standards. So she put a shield around it to control and mostly suppress
it. Any such barrier decays over time, however, if there's enough time. And when
that shield began to fail, she put a barrier around the island as a whole."
"Why not just around the Light as she'd done before?" Kinnishan asked.
The Icelord shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe she intended it as a temporary
measure--but she's thousands of years old, which might affect her definition of
'temporary'. It was hard on the residents of Barikala, of course, but she really
doesn't care about individuals. Given her life span, this is not surprising."
Bosk muttered something just quietly enough that the others in the room could
pretend not to hear it.
"However the effect of the new barrier might have developed in the long run--in
centuries--in the short run, the effective loss of the power source which is the
Light, and the pressures of the barrier around Barikala, were distorting the Arcanum
of Ghea. Possibly of other worlds also, but it is Ghea we're concerned with. Among
other effects, that distortion was the cause of the rogue Gates that were opening
here in Chimlevtal."
"That has stopped," Shau'nin Snowbeard said. "There are doubtless still a few
monstrosities to be hunted out and dealt with, but no new ones are arriving. For
this mercy, our profound thanks!"
Lord Kinnishan nodded. "Something more definite than mere thanks might be
called for here, so that all in Chimlevtal will recognize that you have done the city
a great service. I am reminded," his eyes flicked sideways to his chancellor and
back, "that though Lady Sheila has in some ways cheapened the name, there was once a
custom among those who held this title and responsibility before me to name certain
people Knights Protector of Chimlevtal. You would do honor to the title."
"That would be an honor for us, also," The Icelord said, "but you might find it
an unpopular move. We have enemies here in Chimlevtal--"
"Most people have enemies. What of it?" Lord Kinnishan glanced at his
chancellor again. "Shau'nin, prepare a proclamation."

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of CHIMLEVTAL! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at THE
ANIMALS' guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
9th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week THE STORMBRINGERS went 3-2-0 to move up 4 in the
rankings. FLAVIUS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested ULL HELMSPLITTER and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one
of the week's more notable duels, FLAVIUS put down ULL HELMSPLITTER, causing him to
lose 19 points of recognition in the process. Although DIRDEN I made a valiant
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious BEDLAM. Would you
believe that over half of the old women in CHIMLEVTAL seem to feel that they could
fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city CHIMLEVTAL. CHIMLEVTAL, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of
thy guilds is FAMINE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of THE STORMBRINGERS are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot
but expect competition from those below. SALIVATE take warning! You have more than
a few enemies in CHIMLEVTAL. At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on
CRASSUS. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn against
ULL HARDHAMMER! In the end CRASSUS was subdued by ULL HARDHAMMER, a "sharp" reminder
that higher recognition is an indication of greater skill. Still, it was a worthy
bout! For some warriors honor is not important--only empty victory. See,
gladiators, how PANDEMONIUM of CHAOS challenged down 31 points to JUSTINIAN. The
weight of the challenge fell hard upon JUSTINIAN and predictably he was bested by
PANDEMONIUM. This is how to arouse the anger of an entire guild! I can not but
mention with disdain the name of MARLENUS who this week posted a TV challenge to a
warrior a full 11 points below in the rankings. I thought MARLENUS showed great
skill and promise when he won victory over SIGURD. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in CHIMLEVTAL as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! 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

PERSONAL ADS
High Lord Bosk, Raoul the Rude & Polar Bear -- Happy New Year! Have a GREAT '09! --
The Icelord, 1st Mage, The Council of Lords
Happy New Year to Chimlevtal. I do hope this once proud arena rebounds and once
again becomes an area where personal ads are written, managers show up for
bloodfeuds, spotlights are penned from time to time, the DM always writes a column
and people actually care about what is going on and about their gladiators. But I am
a relic of the past and with the arrival of the cowardly and pathetic managers who
won't reveal themselves, you know, the fops who "manage" Chaos, War, Pestilence,
Death's Disciples, Famine, etc., this arena will become another tourney-prepping dead
arena. I tried to keep it going but with these guys turning Chimlevtal into just
another boring arena, I might as well as depart for Polaris. High Lord Bosk and I
have just recently saved the city and have defended Ghea more times than I can count.
I feel it is time to move on. Thanks to those who keep active in Chimlevtal. High
Lord Bosk, my brother, I will stand by your side. I will not depart until you give
the word. Otherwise, expect me more active and pulling a few surprises in '09.
These cowards have much to learn. Tal. -- The Icelord
"Manager" of Chaos -- Once again you fail to show up for a BF. Rat's Nest hides at
your orders. You are a disgrace. Give both you and I the exact same roll up sheet,
a dead arena where we could go at it every turn with no tournaments to hide behind
and you know any member of The COL would destroy you. Continue to hide, pathetic
little man. -- The Icelord
The Stormbringers -- Of course Rat's Nest failed to show up. He is a coward, like
his "manager." -- The Stormguards
"Manager" of Death's Disciples -- No surprise that Shiva failed to show up for the
BF. A coward managed by a coward. Check two ads up, same roll ups, level playing
field, you would want nothing of it. Your hiding behind the rules and money don't
make you a better manager, sapling. -- The Icelord
The Stormbringers -- Of course Shiva failed to show up for the BF. A coward managed
by a coward. Few can stand against us. -- The Stormguards
Antioch of War -- How did you manage to AVOID THE BF and get your pathetic challenge
through? This seems to happen WAY too often (if you phonies actually send in your
warriors the BF never seem to go through.) Are you in with the GC? Is there some
sort of special code that helps you avoid BFs? Most likely your sobbing and
cowardice tilts the match ups in your favor. -- The Icelord
"Manager" of Chaos -- NO surprise that Anarchy failed to show up for the BF. Very
few wish to stand up to us. You are a coward. That cherry-picked tourney team you
imported to this once proud arena is not impressive to anyone who knows the history
of this arena. We would invite you to tilt an ale with us at The House of the
Bottomless Mug (with all your elite mega buddies) but you wouldn't be willing to sit
across the table from someone who would make you answer for your crimes. -- The
Stormguards
The Scribe -- Did you receive my email? -- The Icelord
The Icelord, Polar Bear & Raoul The Rude -- Happy New Year! Hope '09 proves to be a
FANTASTIC year! -- High Lord Bosk, 1st Sword, The Council of Lords
Chimlevtal -- Greatest of all Alastarian cities, welcome the new year and celebrate
our 300th glorious cycle with a great turnout. Fight full stables and post
personals. "Managers" who hide behind their mommas' skirts--come on out and reveal
yourselves. Let's stop this masquerade ball and fight like warriors and gladiators.
-- High Lord Bosk
Mole -- Ugh! Can't seem to get Freki to stay alive. You may note, he does keep
resurrecting though. -- High Lord Bosk
Shiva/Antioch -- I pity you both. Your "managers" continue to shelter you and coddle
you like precious stones. Hidden safely in their pant pockets whenever a BF is on
the horizon. I guess they need something to play with in their pockets! Stay safe,
Little Ones. -- High Lord Bosk
Rat's Nest -- Could we tango this turn? Last chance to duck me, Lacky. -- Ull
Hardhammer
