Greetings from your Keeper! I've been silent during my tenure here, it is true. No Malic, I am not responding to your constant urging to pen this letter. I am simply not the speaker that Wyvern is, or was rather. I simply let my record stand for me. Today, however, is a special occasion. It is likely that as you read this I have already competed for the last time here. It is time for me, and my stablemate Digitalis, to move on to Primus. Yes, that means the Runeblade, this magnificent weapon, will be up for grabs! If I were one prone to wagers I'd gamble on Aelfwine to be my successor but I hear tell that there may be quite a few new faces in Darkholm soon. It may shape up to be quite a race to grab this prestigious honor! To Mikel and Assur, my two most common opponents here, well fought! I came to Darkholm relatively unkown and leave quite accomplished. I have held the Runeblade for an extended period and enjoyed Tournament Victor status twice in the Freshmen class and again in ADM. I hope to one day do the same in Eligibles so I move to Primus to further my training and to assist my stablemates in the upcoming King of Primus. I wish you all good battles in the future! -- Glamdring the Roundbelly Keeper of the Runeblade REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo there! Glamdring has gone on to Primus, bless his fierce heart, but I thank him for his column nonetheless. We saw 13 fights today, 4 of them with stand-in opponents who this turn, except of course for the great Ferd, might as well have been practice dummies. There was just one challenge, and apparently no avoids at all. *Yawn* Sorry. WINNING SIDE (6-4276) (18-21-1,76) of OINGO BOINGO challenged GOLDEN SPIKE (1-1856) (20-21-0,74) of OBELISK 005. WINNING SIDE was devastated by GOLDEN SPIKE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. Winning side is quite game, I'll give him that. Tough man. PHILTHRY (42-2079) (100-95-0,216) of HIGHLANDERS fought ASSUR (18-7821) (119-161- 2,193) of ARROGANCE. PHILTHRY was demolished by ASSUR in a popular 2 minute gruesome one-sided melee. Philthry is our reigning Parry-Strike, and Assur is top Basher and this turn's favorite. AELFWINE (82-23244) (33-21-0,221) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0- 0,200). AELFWINE viciously subdued SHADOWMANE in a popular 2 minute gory Title contest. As Glamdring predicted, Aelfwine is our Keeper of the Runeblade, and also he is top Lunger. BATTLE BANSHEE (47-7979) (24-25-2,224) of SPECTRAL STEEL fought PELIS THE TRUE (42- 3469) (89-130-1,195) of HIGHLANDERS. BATTLE BANSHEE was subdued by PELIS THE TRUE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute competition. The Banshee is our leading Striker, while Mr. True is overall popularity leader. MIKEL (6-6190) (95-114-3,204) of THE LADY'S LIST fought KYLROI (40-4534) (35-23-0,151) of GRIZZLED VETERANS. MIKEL vanquished KYLROI in an exciting 1 minute mismatched fight. Mikel is top Slasher. SIR YVAIN (60-9076) (31-23-2,202) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought SHEWISH GIANT (104-25) (0-0-0,181). SIR YVAIN devastated SHEWISH GIANT in a 2 minute gruesome one-sided competition. SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (33-27-0,182) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought FERD THE TOWER (104-27) (120-15-8,280). SIR LUCAN was vanquished by FERD THE TOWER in a action packed 1 minute uneven duel. The unfortunate Sir Lucan is our top-ranked Aimed Blow. JOE MAMA (21-6771) (56-75-1,210) of D.R.I. fought JHAARAN (10-2017) (32-35-2,191) of THE HOLY LEGION. JOE MAMA overpowered JHAARAN in a 3 minute gory uneven duel. Joe Mama is the most recognized Total Parry. KILLER KARCH (69-5668) (22-18-2,180) of SAND KINGS fought KANEN VILESTAR (31-6601) (26-16-0,177) of SHADOWHOLD. KILLER KARCH savagely defeated KANEN VILESTAR in an action packed 2 minute gory match. Mr. Vilestar is our top Wall of Steel, but, as they say, it availed him not. At least somebody says that, I think. WARRIOR WIGHT (47-7978) (18-7-0,145) of SPECTRAL STEEL fought THE TEACH (7-6621) (35- 24-3,98) of LADIES OF QUALITY. WARRIOR WIGHT overpowered THE TEACH in a crowd pleasing 2 minute one-sided match. The Teach is our top-ranked Parry-Riposte. MAJOR CINNAMON (97-6894) (9-9-4,63) of UNLIKELY HEROES 18W fought BLOODY MARY (6-7153) (17-17-2,44) of EAT EM RAW BUG. MAJOR CINNAMON slimly won victory over BLOODY MARY in an exciting 3 minute battle. THE RAVEN (51-3875) (23-12-2,85) of COLLEGE RADIO fought DRUNKEN FISHERMAN (104-1) (20-20-0,50). THE RAVEN devastated DRUNKEN FISHERMAN in a 1 minute mismatched bout. ZYRO (33-8118) (30-32-0,49) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought SPICE (7-6640) (31-28-5,53) of LADIES OF QUALITY. ZYRO was handily defeated by SPICE in a popular 2 minute bloody uneven fight. Since there was not much to say this time out, I am already done.
