Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade
I've been a Duelmaster, earned immortality as a Lord Protector, awarded Captain
of the Guard, and now I am the Keeper of the Runeblade. I write this missive with the
knowledge that it could well be my last. I will have the honor of representing
Darkholm in the Grand Tournament and I have high hopes to win another Tournament
Victor award, afterwhich I will slowly fade from activity, though not perhaps before
at least evening my record. I must say it is good to see my good friend and longtime
stable mate, Glamdring, receive nearly as much recognition as me. There are a couple
of other active Obsidian Hall stablemates that who are up and coming and it looks as
though we are lumped with several others of Darkheart's graduates in a loosely knit
stable in Darkholm. It doesn't seem to mean as much here as it did in Niytyole.
Everyone here is an immortal with nice estates. They show up, fight, and go home.
Sometimes without even training!
Alas I must sign off. I am not a wordsmith, but a basher after all. I'd rather
be smashing someone's face with my warhammer!
-- Wyvern
Keeper of the Runeblade
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hullo, hullo!
For starters, I'd like to thank Wyvern for a splendid column. Well done! We had
ten fights today, which is more than usual. Three involved stand-ins, of which two
stand-ins were victorious, unless my admittedly fallible perceptions have mucked up
again. And there were three challenges! This is rare, in Darkholm.
DIGITALIS (33-6862) (34-41-1,171) of OBSIDIAN HALL challenged MAN-MOUNTAIN (7-
3853) (36-40-1,165) of WASTELAND II. DIGITALIS viciously subdued MAN-MOUNTAIN in a 2
minute bloody Challenge fight. Digitalis is our top Parry-Riposte.
BRUNHYLDA (33-8082) (26-17-1,47) of OBSIDIAN HALL challenged PAC-MAN (21-8191)
(26-22-1,93) of DEAD LEGENDS. BRUNHYLDA won victory over PAC-MAN in a 2 minute
Challenge battle.
SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (15-9-0,36) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS challenged ASSASSIN (96-1802)
(25-17-4,73) of BLOODY LEGION. SIR LUCAN was handily defeated by ASSASSIN in a 1
minute one-sided Challenge match. Assassin is the top Aimed Blow, which is why it's
not a great idea to challenge him.
WYVERN (33-2457) (41-45-0,225) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought MIKEL (6-6190) (82-91-
3,194) of THE LADY'S LIST. WYVERN bested MIKEL in a popular 1 minute gory Title
contest. Wyvern is the top Basher and of course our Keeper of the Runeblade, while
Mikel is, as always, top Slasher. Wyvern, I thank you for the excellent column.
GLAMDRING (33-2328) (55-41-1,218) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought ZEUS (62-4010) (73-59-
0,207) of LEGION OF LEGEND. GLAMDRING was savagely defeated by ZEUS in a crowd
pleasing 4 minute competition. Zeus is top Wall of Steel. Glamdring is top Total
Parry.
WARDRA (82-56471) (24-9-1,186) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought LOCAL CONSTABLE (104-
22) (0-0-0,181) of . WARDRA savagely defeated LOCAL CONSTABLE in a 2 minute brutal
struggle. Wardra is our top Lunger.
ASSUR (18-7821) (100-144-2,195) of ARROGANCE fought PHILTHRY (42-2079) (82-77-
0,190) of HIGHLANDERS. ASSUR devastated PHILTHRY in an action packed 1 minute
gruesome one-sided competition. Philthry is our top Parry-Strike.
PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (68-115-1,142) of HIGHLANDERS fought FATALITY (7-5820)
(58-72-0,128) of BRUTAL LEGION. PELIS THE TRUE vanquished FATALITY in a popular 2
minute gruesome uneven duel. Pelis the True is the overall popularity leader, while
Fatality is top Striker.
CROW HELM (82-56829) (17-4-0,55) of CRESCENT SHIELD fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-
3) (0-0-0,0) of . CROW HELM was vanquished by COCKY SPECTATOR in an exciting 1
minute one-sided fight. Welcome to Darkholm, Crow Helm.
AELFWINE (82-23244) (14-4-0,76) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5)
(35-18-0,75) of . AELFWINE was handily defeated by BOOKIE'S GUARD in an exciting 1
minute one-sided bout. Oh, Aelfwine! And you did so well against that very same
fellow last turn. Now, he got his revenge. What happened?
That's all for now. I need to walk my dog. At least it's a warm-ish day for it.
Cheerio!

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Malic, you may like my name too much. You should have focused more on my fight with
Bookie's Guard. I did savagely defeat him, after all, making it highly unlikely that
all three stand-ins could have won. -- Aelfwine
Oh gosh! I need new glasses. Still, it is splendid to know that at least one
person reads my reports. -- Malic
Wyvern -- Congrats on beating me and taking the tltle. I look forward to reading your
column. -- Philthry
M Chardinee -- Well fought, sir. I know you can't answer, not being an official
gladiator or manager, but I was impressed. -- Pelis the True
