Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like this, and it probably wouldn't be the last. "So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?" "Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary. There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're too full of team records." "Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested. Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave. "We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested. "We can't burn RECORDS." "I could," Rinvar said. "But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its own sake, Jame." Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew." "When are they shutting down Blackstone?" "To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of enquiry around the room. "Jasper Gulch," a steward said. "Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably 'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT." Voth nodded. "We can work with this." "Beats not working."
