DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
And for the third time, I have defeated Earth, although only "bested" this time.
Perhaps this means that, though I am currently perceived as "ungreen," the ultimate
result will be for the best? I can hope.
Loris Deane
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ZENSU. MVP award for PLANETEER 42?
CAPTAIN PLANET's proud of her after beating M. CHARDINEE and getting 20 points. Talk
about yer big time losers! MENDAL KORDIN got smashed by DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, and lost
6 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think LORIS DEANE
should let THAT ONE MONKEY be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I
hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want
photogenic fighters for PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ZENSU ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

That One Monkey -- Good. None of us likes you. -- Marlin Kole
Gaia -- "Vanquished" isn't the half of it! You SAT on me, and you've got a really
broad... radius. -- Linaea Deane
He's Our Hero -- Maybe, but then again, maybe not, eh? -- Coolin Dunn
Planeteer 42 -- All of you. A gross mis-match, but the steward didn't see it that
way, so maybe it means I'm better than expected, even though I lost. -- Mendal
Kordin, grasping at straws

"DARK ARENA" -- The Novel
For centuries, the Shagornan Elves have been forced to live underground.
Human invaders, the Delarquans, burned their forests, sparking a war of elven
annihilation. The elders told tales that when the Delarquans marched to war
against the elves, the land itself bled as they passed. Since the war, the
elves have dwindled with every passing year, while the humans multiply like
rodents across the land of Alastari.
Now, the Delarquans have disappeared. Some say they departed, others indicate
it.s a ruse, but there have been whispered rumors of another greater threat
looming in the region. Khyron of the Shagornan Elves has been tasked to
determine the cause, realizing that failure is probable and at the end of the
road death could be the only reward.
Khyron has known only the safety of the caves, but now he must journey to the
world above...the World with No Ceiling.
Throughout the years, many fine writers have played Duelmasters/Duel II and have
contributed greatly to the history and background of the world of Alastari. One very
intense period, during the early '90's, was during the Rocanis War, when authors from
both the Delarquan and Free Blades arenas collaborated on writing the history of the
invasion of the arena-city of Rocanis. Mark Manley (aka Grimwood) is a long-time
manager in Rocanis, and was one of the writers who contributed so much to this
history. Over the subsequent years, he has worked to bring his novelization to life
and make the story of the War and the preceding events which led to it available to
the greater public. Many Rocanis legends appear in the book: Itoz Trollbane,
Sandstorm, and others. The novel is a treat to read--even more so if you are familiar
with the game!
