It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly LYRATILAN games. SOUTHWARK caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested JAZZ and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SOUTHWARK put down JAZZ, causing her to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster FLORIDA GAINES himself. This time out RHODA made hers bid for the throne as she challenged FLORIDA GAINES in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title! This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail RHODA, Duelmaster of LYRATILAN! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. LYRATILAN, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is MEDAL OF HONOR IR, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of WINDS OF WAR last week. Busy avoiding MEDAL OF HONOR IR? Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in LYRATILAN as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.
