                             Notes from the arena champ.

I am Siberia, a little nearly lost village in Perry County, but not so lost here in 
the arena of Lin Tirian. After all, after many matches, I hold the prestigious top 
spot -- DUELMASTER. I am proud to be here. I am proud to be from Perry County, and I 
hope, soon, to be proud to become a Lord Protector. 

May we all live and thrive.

                                          -- Siberia, DMI

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail LIN TIRIAN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as PERRY COUNTY is pushed 
out of top team by KIWI CONNECTION, who came from 3rd with a 5-0-0 this turn.  And 
let's see, WIGRAM fought BIG ONE and gained 18 points and contributed to KIWI 
CONNECTION's 5-0-0.  MELGRETH has lost to DISHONEST JUSTICE, falling 3 points, while 
helping make CIRCLE OF FIRE a 1-4-0 turn.  Due to hers absence and inability to 
defend the throne, SIBERIA has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not without some 
honor, TIKI now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of LIN TIRIAN.  Tell me, is 
nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Lost Hope Inn uses 
trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  KIWI CONNECTION has cause to stand 
tall, as they were LIN TIRIAN's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And guess who avoided KIWI CONNECTION stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was ALASD.  Anyone surprised?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that LIN TIRIAN has more dishwashers per capita 
that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
