TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Wolves.
I hear them at night, howling, in the woodlands near the tavern I call home,
where I bandage scars old and new, where I hone the edge of my blade tirelessly,
waiting until my greaves meet Xochitlan sands once more.
Sylah hears them too, and they scare her. Their eyes, how they turn yellow in
the dark, how they growl, how they ravage with such detached nonchalance--it scares
her. She knows that in the arena, Massey and Salome Torene and all the rest...
they'll go for her similarly, like wolves going for a kill.
Jalabhar is asleep, snoring, juices of sweet fruits crystallizing on his beard.
In his thick accent, he told me that in his native tongue, the word "wolf" is
synonymous with "razor."
I tell him the Convnincian word for "death" is derived from their word for
"honor."
He laughed and told me to keep my honor, then.
Morgana understands. The money compels her, but she understands. It's kill or
be killed, and she knows that. You can't rely on the Arenamaster to call the fight,
or your foe to yield. It'll be too late by then.
Desslock thinks thusly--a smile and a sword, get the crowd on your side, stain
the sand red. The man has no conscience, he loves the thrill of bloodying his blade.
But I seek... other things. Redemption? Glory? Legend? I can't say.
Fulfillment, it seems, is as elusive as victory.
Wolves. They howl in the night.
They've made a kill.
-- Basti Artadi, Steel Wolf

SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! The boys at STEEL WOLVES 2 are walking tall, as they are ranked 3rd on
their first try! Going for the Duelmaster soon? STEEL WOLVES 2 had cause to
celebrate, after BASH ARTADI got 21 points by beating RIRORNI WOMAN. A certain
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 14 points to
ULRIK VENN. (Discrete enough, HOBSON?) WOXTON successfully staved off a grab for the
roses by COLLABORATOR of XOCHITHLAN. Does XOCHITHLAN have no one talented enough to
dethrone him? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid XOCHITHLAN farewell--
Novgorodny Vir
