TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Green Valley

Among the Fenarchan Isles in the frigid Storm Sea, there is an especially jagged
island known as Green Valley. The island has a tiny, rocky harbor attached to a small
fishing village, which seems to be crowded between the sea and the cliffs behind it.
At the back of the village of Herring is a broad, well-traveled tunnel lit with many
fine gas lamps.

The tunnel leads from Herring to Green Valley proper, cauldron of a long- dormant
volcano -- guaranteed dormant by Sheila Greywand herself. As is common with volcanic
soil, the valley is quite fertile. In addition, the high cauldron walls protect it
from the worst of the region's storms.

Legend has it that, nearly a thousand years ago, this uninhabited island had a Chaos
Gate, which Sheila Greywand sealed by raising a volcano under it. Some centuries
after that, Lady Greywand declared the island safe for settlement, and people (mostly
Ferencians) came to live and build there. Now it is a gentle place, slightly warmer
than the other Fenarchan Isles. A wide variety of crops will grow here. Green Valley
is famous for its bountiful orchards, vineyards, fields and paddies. The people are
kind and peaceful. The prosperous town in the valley, Coldbridge, spans the river
that flows from the northern wall of the cauldron. Coldbridge is built of quarried
lava; buildings are mostly black, but with colorful clay roofs.

The hot springs in the valley are a popular gathering place and a good way for weary
gladiators to ease their sore muscles. There is flammable gas as well, in caves under
the farmlands, which the natives have piped around Coldbridge and Herring to light
their homes and cook their food. Sometimes, there are unexpected explosions, but it
is considered a small price to pay for convenience.

Green Valley, the island (including the village of Herring), is ruled by a Council of
Elders with seven members.

Drinking and dining are excellent in Green Valley. Coldbridge has half a dozen
restaurants and two taverns (Snake-Head Tavern, and Brunnhild's Bar). Herring has a
single inn/restaurant/tavern called Green Gate, next to the mouth of the tunnel.

Because it is their nature, the islanders are polite and welcoming to the newly come
gladiators, but privately they feel that Green Valley would be better without a blood
sport. However, Sheila Greywand insisted. Perhaps she worries that the Chaos Gate
might open again, and the island folk will need defenders?

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.

So no influx of tourney teams as I had expected. Quite the opposite, all teams that
were here have left. It's like ruling the sandbox yet there isn't anyone to rule over.
Oh well, they'll show up eventually. So I faced off against yet another ringer called
Kung-Fu Master. It was a good fight for as short as it was. Pity I lost. Gotta wonder
why the GC pays these ringers to come in and kick the behinds of loyal gladiators
instead of just shoving common criminals and the local dishwasher out onto the sands
for us to tease and beat up on. Where is the GC profit in paying for ringers? Well,
I'm done with my speech this week. Hopefully, I'll have better luck next round of
fights.

SPY REPORT

Greetings, warriors of GREEN VALLEY! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with BRAE? He
actually beat GREEN VALLEY's PERSISTANT BEGGAR, and walked away with 9 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at GREEN VALLEY while they watched THE USEROUS
MERCHANT clobber RIRCOL. He lost 1 points and got bruised from objects thrown from
the stands. Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, BUT ZOGAR is
still the Duelmaster because he has the most recognition points! I suppose you want
to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You
young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
