                  "My name is Legion; for we are many." -- Mark 5:9

     Chief Illiniwek looked over the distinguished assembly.  There was Staple Gun, 
trusty giraffe at his side, mixing a drink for Moriarty as they discussed web-site 
design.  In another corner, Doc Steele was getting pointers from The Neon Necromancer 
about Gateway, while giving pointers about the ADM tourney.  Hoffa and Sleazee P. 
Martinee were breaking out the turtle wax to see whose bald pate would shine up 
better.  And Xavier had been in the bathroom a suspiciously long time (must have been 
that desperate attempt to finish off the kegger).  The Chief smiled to himself as he 
thought of the destruction and mayhem that would be created by his new alliance mates.
    "Order! Order!" he called to the room.  Xavier came stumbling into the room, still 
struggling with a stubborn zipper.  He knocked over a lamp that Staple Gun deftly 
caught.
     "The first official meeting of Legion8 will now come to order," said the Chief.
     "Okay, order us some more pizza!" replied Sleazee.
     "And beer," added Hoffa.
     Chief Illiniwek rolled his eyes.  "Just a few points of business this first 
meeting," he began.  "Number one, our first official turn as the newest alliance in 
Alastari will be turn 193 of Darkholm.  Are we all agreed?"
     "Aye!" said the room with one voice.
     "Second, our official alliance name shall be entered as `Legion8'.  This will 
denote both our affiliation and our size.  Are we all agreed?"
     "Aye!" came the reply in unison.
     "Next is roll call.  Reply when your name is called.  Chief Illiniwek, obviously, 
is present.  Neon Necromancer?"
     "All present and accounted for, sir!" he answered as he gave a snappy salute.  
Doc Steele chuckled.
     "Hoffa?"
     "Still dead," replied Curly.
     "Staple Gun?"
     "Still drunk," came the answer as he lifted a smoking concoction.
     "Doc Steele?"
     "Oh, I'm here," he said with a sly, casual smile.
     "Xavier?"
     "Yo!" answered the Shewish giant.
     "Sleazee P. Martinee?"
     "What?" he asked, suddenly distracted from his ongoing conversation with a 
serving wench.
     "Moriarty?"
     "Present and ready for battle," replied the second of the twin towers.
     "Okay.  All eight of us are present, and present are the eight of us.  Welcome, 
gentlemen.  Legion8 has been born!"  Chief Illiniwek slammed his fist onto the table.
     The rest of the meeting would be taken up by others on more mundane matters.  
Xavier proposing design ideas for a logo, Moriarty arranging Primus training seminars, 
Staple Gun listing alliance artifacts, and, of course, Sleazee and Hoffa getting more 
beer and pizza.  Chief Illiniwek ruminated on the glory this new alliance would build, 
the honors it would surely garner.  Proud already of what it has become, Chief smiled 
broadly as he thought of what Legion8 was to be.

                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

Salutations, Warriors of Gateway!
     Yes, it is none other than myself, Zontani Sharp Eyes, fresh with news and gossip 
gleaned from every corner of our fair community and thence straight to your ears.
     The whispers are already beginning among the common folk that FALSTAFF may be 
"the one foretold," the supreme warrior, unbeatable, who would reign for a hundred 
years as the primary knight bastion against Chaos.  This week it was Executioner who 
strove to topple him, but at the last, was unable to really get out of the starting 
gate.  Of course, I think the "one foretold" would realy have to be VENGEANCE.  After 
all, he who is continually covered in the blood of dead Chaos minions really has the 
first claim to that title as far as I am concerned.
     But the fight that has everyone is talking about this week is really the bout 
between WRAITH and STEEL DWARF, a ten minute long challenge bout that narrowly saw 
WRAITH emerge as the victor.  Also topping the charts was the way SLY laid out CHAR$ 
after 6 minutes of non-stop blood spray.  Thank goodness for resurection, eh, Char$?
     I note with a certain amout of Pride that MORDANT city racked up the best 
win/loss of any city this week.  This is as it should be, for is not MORDANT the 
greatest and dankest swamp-pit of gladiator breeding that Alastari has ever, and will 
ever, see?  And finally, in the random and unfounded rumor department I am told that 
THE BEARS consider themselves so omnipotent now that they are considering changing 
their names to just "THE TEAM" or possible to just "THE (You know who we're talking 
about)" or even just "THE". In response, I am considering changing my name to just 
"The Spy", or possibly just "Z".
     Oh, well.  Until next we meet in some dark alley, please remember that while a 
rose, when called by another name, may smell as sweet, an unwashed gladiator smells 
bad no matter what you call him.
                                          -- "Z"

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Falstaff -- You will do me honor by meeting me on the sands this turn.  I hope to turn 
in a little better performance than our last two tournament bouts. -- Psycho Scientist

Reason #1 Not to Fight in the Gate:  When you die, you get no development, and the 
vast majority of warriors here would die a lot in the gate.

Executioner -- Nothing personal, guy.  I just didn't want to have any warriors I 
hadn't lost to recently above me in the rankings.  'Course, I don't think I have ever 
lost to Vengeance, but there's not much I can do to prove that still holds true. 
(Never mind the fact that I don't think I've ever even fought him.) -- Psycho 
Scientist, Best Damn Lunger in the Game

Doc Steele -- Furious just got dec skill #22 last turn.  That's the first time that 
Furious has ever had more decise than parry learned, pretty much convincing me that 21 
parry skills is all Furious will ever learn.  Those four lost parry skills reverse the 
four he got for training ST to 25.  What's also getting on my nerves, tho', is his 
defense skills learned.  He's only got 24... and has for quite some time. -- Scrag

Hello all!  Interesting to see that both of my warriors come from younger arenas than 
any others out here.  As well, I seem to have the only ones from Lirith Kai.  Thanks 
for allowing me at least one win here. -- Coeur

       *********     ANNOUNCEMENT  REGARDING  THE  DARK  CIRCLE      *********
       ***********************************************************************
     There have been some major recent changes in the Dark Circle.  The following 
former Dark Circle members have resigned from the alliance:  Neon Necromancer, 
Moriarty, Doc Steele, Staple Gun, Hoffa, Chief Illiniwek, Xavier, Cliff Banana, 
     Because they were Apprentices to Wardens that have resigned from the
alliance, the following former Apprentices are also no longer part of the
alliance:  Anarchist, Talon Volksie.
     As a side note, the Grand Wizard is also no longer an Apprentice to Scrag, due to 
his inactivity.  The former Apprentices may also be considered for re-instatement into 
the alliance should any of them care to petition.
     Since the most recent King of the Dark Circle has resigned, the remaining members 
have elected a new King.  The Warden elected was Guardian.  All hail Guardian, King of 
the Dark Circle!
     The Dark Circle will move forward, being energized with the loyalty of the 
following members who still remain:  Guardian, King of the Dark Circle; Scrag, Warden 
of the Dark Circle; Mongo, Warden of the Dark Circle; Merlin, Warden of the Dark 
Circle; Boss Rat, Warden of the Dark Circle.
     Let it also be known that the following list contains the names of inactive 
Wardens, who would all be welcomed back into the alliance, should they ever wish to 
play actively again:  Rhialto, The Dealer, Mr. Animal, Blood Wizard, Sharky, Easy 
Rider.
     If you wish any further information on the Dark Circle, you might wish to
check out our web site!  It is still under construction so there might not be a lot of 
stuff there yet, but more and more information will be added as time goes on.  It is 
located at the following address on the World Wide Web: 
"www.rocko.lab.csuchico.edu/~mattmc/DarkCircle/"
     Boss Rat also has started his own web site... and the word on the street is that, 
"It rocks!" You can find Boss Rat's web page at the following address:
"http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Alley/3113"
     That is all for now.  Good luck to all, and may the blood you find spilled on the 
sands not be your own. -- Scrag, spokesman for the Dark Circle alliance

                                             The Commission

                      The Year in Review -- Andorian Happenin's

                                     by Cuchillo

     I have been commissioned by his Imperial Majesty Mickeal to spread to 
you, the loyal subjects of Andoria and its provinces, the news and events of 
the last year in our fair country so as to keep you all better informed as 
to what's going on in your country and cities, as well as involved!  (And, I 
hope, entertained.)
     The year 507 started out well for Andoria--prosperous, with a mild winter leading 
us into a fine crop that ended the drought of 506 and, with the news fresh that we had 
FINALLY reached a peaceful end to our hostilities with the Karnhorn Empire to the 
east--by a marriage for our lonely King Rylian to a Karnhorn Princess, Ieashia of 
Zuwayza, which took place in Leafturning of 506.  This treaty also brought about the 
marriage of our Princess Samarra of Andorak (widowed since the Rirorni War, as most of 
you know) to Prince Zarhed of Jurine, as well as a few other marriages to seal our 
friendships and solidify relations.  King Rylian and his new Queen were rumored to be 
deeply in love, and it was not long before the start of the new year (507) that rumors 
of an upcoming royal birth were flying out of Andor.
     It was late in Lambsborn that word came from the Palace in Andor that the 
pregnant Queen was deathly ill, and with her, our King, good King Rylian, grieving for 
his dying wife.  The finest healers and doctors of Andoria did all they could for Her 
Majesty, but in the end, all they could do was barely save her child.  On the night 
that His Highness Prince Rylian X was born, Greenbough 1, his mother, Queen Ieashia, 
died of a mysterious illness.  Alas for all Andoria, in the weeks that followed our 
good and noble King Rylian pined for his lost wife and at length, in the pre-dawn 
hours of Brightwillow 7, Rylian was claimed by Ahringol--and in his place, Ahringol 
returned to us Mickeal, dead these past two years and more on the fields of honor 
fighting the Rirorni.  
     The King was dead.  Long live the King.
     It seemed, however, that the Princess of Andorak did not wish to be reconciled 
with her formerly dead husband, and remained married to Zarhed of Jurine ne Prince 
Consort of Andorak.  Mickeal did not remove her from her position as Governor of that 
town, and instead granted her the divorce; he has, however, not removed her children--
and his--from their rightful place in the line of succession.
     In Andorak, money problems that had driven the little town into debt were slowly 
alleviated as fund raisers and some thrifty management by Princess Samarra brought 
about economic change by the Summer Solstice.
     Across Andoria there was much ado, as well as in the Capital and on the Isle!  In 
the city of Aradi, there was a vast and terrible cholera epidemic early in the year, 
forcing the closing of the ports.  As the Trier did not suffer a hard freeze, the 
disease held hard for many months, until at last through hard work and the strength 
Aradi is known for, the epidemic was stilled and the ports re-opened for late summer 
trade.
     In the city of Kati-Tei, the former Imperial Governor, Thane Barj, was concocting 
a scheme to rebel against the League itself.  He enlisted the aid of gargoyles from 
the far-off gargoyle islands--it came to light that he had, in fact, kidnapped many of 
their children and were holding them hostage to gain this aid!--and began his reign of 
terror by slowly raising taxes and assassinating members of the crown council who 
dared raise voice against him.  His treachery was uncovered by the manager C.T.O.A.N., 
protesting the unfair taxes levied against the arena.  The Lord Protectors of Andorak 
were commissioned by Mickeal to penetrate Kati-Tei ahead of the armed forces, which 
His Majesty himself led, sending word to Tarrgir and Ardivent to send help to take 
down this traitorous Thane.
     In Ardivent, his majesty the Baron, with the good word from his beloved daughter 
Samarra that Mickeal was, indeed, returned from the dead, sent the Ardiventi Cavalry 
post haste.  Tarrgir, too, rallied, but it seemed they were filled with doubts as to 
the identity of Mickeal--for after all, had he not died a hero in the Rirorni war?  
This newcomer was obviously an imposter.  Tarrgir fired on the King's Army, but were 
quickly quelled.  Most of the armed forces of Tarrgir were brought over to Mickeal's 
side.  The Thane in Kati-Tei was killed during the fighting, and Mickeal formed a 
provisional Council of Citizens to govern the city of Kati-Tei, and returned to Andor.
     Tarrgir's problems run deep as the year comes to a close--the Dean of Tarrgir's 
university, and leader of the Council of Five, Kyrican, is strongest in his dislike 
and distrust of the man he believes to be an imposter.  Although a loyal Andorian, he 
does not believe that Mickeal is who he says he is, but instead a plant from the Isle 
of the Eye, placed there by Sheila Greywand.
     In Andor and Solven, Mickeal has made moves to re-instate the Assassins Guild, 
destroyed by his father in 505.  As always, there is much mystery clouding this Guild, 
and we were not granted any looks into its workings.  However, rumor said that 
assassins who had been part of the Guild and escaped his Majesty Rylian's wrath have 
come together once again, willing to work for an under Mickeal, who has promised the 
protection and sanctity of the crown for any dealings with the Assassins Guild of 
Andoria.
     Across Andoria, Mickeal has revealed that he wishes to be known as the "Arena 
King," as his Uncle Priam was before.  He has bent his efforts to restoring the 
granduer and glory of the Andorian arenas, and wishes that all warriors and managers 
who want information seek him out and he will grant audience.  He is anxious to hear 
the opinions and ideas of the warriors and managers of Andoria.  Also, he has repealed 
Rylian's Law of Intentional Death regarding the Dark Arena, saying, "All managers must 
chose their own path--I will not chose it for them.  The Dark Arena is, much like 
those in Lirith Kai, an art form, a dance, a fierce combat both deadly and beautiful 
to behold--not NECESSARILY fatal.  However.  If a manager wishes his warrior to DIE in 
the Dark Arena, I shall not stop him from chosing that path.  Let the murder rest on 
HIS head, and not those of the Commission-trained warriors who fight in the Andorian 
Dark Arenas.  If a manager signs the release, then the Arenamaster of that city will 
turn his back, and the death blow may be dealt.  My apologies to the warriors who 
fight for such managers, but you knew what your contract said when you signed onto an 
arena team."
     As the new year begins, His Majesty Mickeal proclaims that he will not otherwise 
change his father's policies, and hopes to be as just and honorable as his father was.  
He wishes, however, that all Andoria not confuse honor with weakness, nor strength 
with evil.
     Fight the good fight, Andoria.  Until next time, I am your servant.  For any 
further information, please feel free to contact me in care of the White Tower in 
Andorak or Aradi, where I can usually be found.
