                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of NIANIA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always 
around the corner!  Witness how this week DEEP ELVES went 3-2-0 to move up 4 in the 
rankings.  LAW caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully 
bested HITMAN and was awarded 19 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more 
notable duels, LAW put down HITMAN, causing her to lose 15 points of recognition in 
the process.  The city has turned out in honor of ASKELON, for with its arena victory 
it may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  Informants "close" to the 
city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his 
armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city NIANIA.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in NIANIA these 
days is HARLEQUINS.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.  If you 
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of DEEP ELVES 
last week.  Busy avoiding HARLEQUINS?  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition 
from those below.  =^.^= V2 take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in 
NIANIA.  For some warriors honor is not important--only empty victory.  See, 
gladiators, how GOSOSOSOS of RESURRECTION challenged down 18 points to RESTINPIECES.  
All the city knows the duel went in favor of GOSOSOSOS.  I shall not fail to spread 
the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory.  I can not but mention with 
disdain the name of CHYLEYA who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 10 
points below in the rankings.  I thought CHYLEYA showed great skill and promise when 
she was defeated by JUBAL.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in NIANIA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of 
a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till we meet again, remember:  a turtle 
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
