                                      SPY REPORT

Oh my goodness gracious and polished pauldrons, Seam, what a week. I swear, if the 
arena were any louder, my quill would have jumped right out of my hand and started 
taking notes on its own. Sit back, my darlings, and let's explore the arena over a 
nice cup of tea.

Let's begin where we also do, at the top. A round of applause and maybe a respectful 
duck because Freya Bearmaw has reclaimed the Duelmaster's throne. Challenging Sunrise 
Victory was a bold move, a brave move, and possibly a "Mom would ground me for this" 
move, but Freya devastated her way to the title. Darling, this wasn't confidence. That 
was destiny with steel-toed boots kicking in the door.

Now, don't think the I-1/25 Manx Corps went unnoticed just because Freya was the talk 
of the town. Oh no. They marched off with Top Team honors and a shiny 29 points, 
looking organized and unstoppable. Cavendish Vannin and friends are climbing fast, and 
honestly? I'd be nervous if I were on the sands myself. 

Speaking of nerves, let's talk about Emile of Far Travelers. Sweet skies above, that 
win over Enid Ravenscar wasn't just an upset; it was a full table flip. Eleven points 
gained, nine points lost, and the volume of the gasps from the stands was enough to 
make you cover your ears.  I do hate to be a downer immediately after sharing Emile's 
success, but a moment of silence for Nuok Tufe, who was executed by Aradi Thug. The 
arena can be cruel, darlings, and this week reminded us that tomorrow is never 
promised, even when you face a Commission standby.

Darque Knights managed to be Duelmaster royalty with the throne and the most avoided 
team. How does that even happen? Is there a trophy for it? They were mostly avoided by 
Far Travelers.  Only three challenges today, so there was no most challenged warrior. 

Debby Tonte likes to give you laundry advice. The advice is good for getting blood 
out, but I would just recommend fewer decapitations. That is all from me this turn. 
Remember, warriors, fight hard, rest well, and try not to make your mother nervous as 
she watches the matches.

                                             Hugs and Curses,

                                             Sidara Brightbell
