Here I am, at the top of this arena just like my sister, Tolais Deepheart. But unlike her, I don't think I'll hang onto it for very long. I do have a winning record, but only barely. And I probably wouldn't have that in a larger arena. So, while I'm on the big chair I'm going to enjoy it. It is well upholstered, unlike any other seat in this arena. Darkholm isn't a place where they want you to sit down and get comfortable. The Runeblade is cool though. I tested its sharpness on my finger and it drank my blood. Should I mention that I'm an orc? You probably noticed that already -- the extra teeth, the yellow complexion, and all. Yay orcs. We're not necessarily bad guys, you know. Personally, I haven't figured out what I really want to do with this long life here on the Isle, but I don't think I want to raid towns, carry off hobbits, or anything like that. Though I am working for a wizard, and I guess if she ordered me to carry off a hobbit, I'd... think about it. Anyway, I hope you all had a great time celebrating the shortest day, and welcoming the sun back as the days grow longer again. -- Philthry Deepheart REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo! All right, we saw ten fights today, three of them involving stand-ins. Meaning that seventeen gladiators took part, which is more than usual. Good! And there were four challenges! Woo hoo! We have a new Keeper of the Runeblade. Wyvern, I hope you write a column. Our last two keepers did, so now it's a tradition.
