DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I see it is another one of THOSE days, wherein no other team than ours is
active, and we fight nothing but standbys--and go an embarrassing one-four against
them. At least I won my "fight" for the title. More of a demonstration, really. I
give a salute to Chandar Lo, who, were he allowed to show what he could really do,
might surprise a lot of people who only see him in the arena.

SPY REPORT
Hail DAYLA KIV! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as SAND DANCERS is pushed
out of top team by CORPS, who came from 2nd with a 2-0-0 this turn. And let's see,
RUBY TUESDAY fought DOLBY KLEE and gained 17 points and contributed to CORPS' 2-0-0.
MOKO TEN ZORA has lost to TURO JAGUARCLAW, falling 7 points, while helping make SAND
DANCERS a 1-4-0 turn. Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to HANVAL THE CLAW, BUT
KIRSSARINA is still the Duelmaster because she has the most recognition points! Can
someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do
dishes at The Crystal Wheel until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAYLA KIV and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the

PERSONAL ADS
We the aftersigned feel that Dangerous Bon Lokar is TOO dangerous and should not be
permitted to fight in the arena unless the stewards tie one hand behind his back.
Ha, and that would mean he'd have to use a different, one-handed, weapon, too! --
Kolban ten Tahl, Moko ten Zora, and Dolby Klee
I WILL NOT believe that Makar tel Sorian, clean-shaven and six-foot-four, is a dwarf.
It's just some trick the Commission plays for its own inscrutable reasons. Probably
to throw us real gladiators off and make us lose fights. I'm nearly sure there's a
plot in there somewhere. -- Moro ten Zora
Sometimes I wonder what kind of record I and my teammates might have, or if we'd even
still be alive to walk out onto the sands, if we didn't fight mostly standbys. --

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....
