Rings of Honor

- A FreeForm Roleplaying Community  

At the center of the lake of lava within the volcano stands the Tower of Fire. It looks much like any other stand-alone tower: 60' tall, 50' wide at the base and 30' at the top, complete with windows, battlements, and large double doors made of solid brass. It is not made from stone, however, but solid, living, flame. Only creatures immune to the ravages of heat and fire can even hope to approach the tower, but only the Keeper of Fire may open the doors, and only with the proper key, which is made from brass and set with a fire opal of rare beauty.

Keeper of Fire Powers

The Key of Fire grants wondrous powers to the Keeper of Fire, the most important powers being a total immunity to heat and fire and the ability to enter the Tower of Fire. Flames may be created, controlled and doused at will, anything from a simple candle flame to a raging inferno. The color of flames are also under the Keeper's control. Fire elementals may be summoned and banished at will, and any fire elemental or fire spirit encountered will obey the keeper's commands. Only free spirits or those of unique power can retain their own will. Also, other fire-dwelling creatures recognize the Keeper and will not attack him. The Keeper may also transform himself into a being of fire and back to his normal form at will.

On the downside, water elementals and water spirits will recognize the Keeper of Fire who what he is. They may not attack on sight, but their attitude will be hostile at best, and belligerent at worst. Also, any water-based attacks which penetrate the Keeper's defenses will do increased damage. Water is not necessarily harmful to the Keeper (as it would make drinking and bathing a tad difficult) but exposure to water will dim his Keeper powers, while submersion in water will drain them altogether.

Keeper of Fire Unique Ring - Tartarus

The grounds within the ring shake, splitting open and allowing the blackened, craggy levels of Tartarus to grind into place. Seemingly self-contained fires are prevalent throughout the ring, as are small rivers of magma circling around the rising levels of black, smoldering columns and platforms that make up the terrain the Keeper and his/her opponent must utilize for cover, attack, and defense. The topmost platform is the largest by far, and would seem to accommodate the most conventional styles of combat.

Reign Summaries

Averia Caelum-Gallows     2024-11-17 - Present   ( 9 days )

♦ 11-17-2024 With the sudden retirement of Takai Masamune, the Tower of Fire was in need of a Keeper. As was evidenced by recent events, lack of a steward for any given tower, can cause an imbalance when all of the elemental forces are needed to safeguard Twilight Isle and its residents. In a tournament called 'The Brightest Flame,' the wardens invited all interested parties to compete for the Tower and its accompanying brass and fire opal key. The winner was nine year old Sorcerer Averia Caelum-Gallows, a second generation duelist, who became the youngest Keeper on record.

Takai Masamune     2024-10-05 - 2024-10-24   ( 19 days )

♦ 10-05-24 Having been bestowed with with the Keeper's Blessing Challenge Grant by Sheridan 'Dris' Driscol, former Keeper of Water, Takai Masamune issued challenge to Haru Jeong for the stewardship of the Tower of Fire. The match, which took place in the Fire Keeper's ring, Tartarus, was officiated by Mage Emeritus Mairead Harker. Both matches weighed heavily in the challenger's favor with incumbent Keeper Jeong only able to score a total of 4 points throughout the challenge. Scores were: 5 - 2.5 in 10 rounds,, 5 - 1.5 in 7 rounds. ♦ 10-23-24 Takai retired as Keeper of Fire.

Haru Jeong     2024-07-24 - 2024-10-05   ( 73 days )

♦ 07-24-24 Tenball officiated as Haru Jeong, former Keeper of Earth, and Mage Emeritus Maggie Harker dueled in Tartarus to determine who would gain or retain the Keepership of the Tower of Fire. This was Haru's fifth time to challenge for the title and he was finally able to gain the key after two exciting matches with the following scores: 5 - 3 in 9 rounds, 5 - 3.5 in 7 rounds.

Mairead Harker     2024-03-28 - 2024-07-24   ( 118 days )

♦ 03-28-2024 Sweet treats and party foods filled the buffet as Mew and Maggie Harker took to the challenge ring for the third time! Coordinator Claire Gallows, one of Dueling's Triple Crown winners, called forth the Keeper of Fire's special ring, Tartarus, to officiate for the night's event. Challenger and Keeper both brought their 'A Game' for all three matches. Mew won the first match, 5.5 - 3 in 5 rounds. By winning the second and third, 5 - 4 in 9 rounds and 5 - 2.5 in 7 rounds, the third time was the charm as Maggie became the next to safeguard the key to the Tower of Fire.

Mew     2022-12-28 - 2024-03-28   ( 456 days )

♦ 12-28-2022 If this challenge was a contest between who was best dressed, we would be ill pressed to come up with a clear winner, as both Rachael and Mew showed up in their finery! And even with a menu of spicy and sweet delights, our casters couldn’t be detoured from opening the challenge night in the special ring of Tartarus to get things started. In the first match Rachael opened up with a protection of flames while Mew had to search for an opening. Undiscouraged, Mew lobbed a trio of some atomic firebomb candies, giving us all a sweet treat to see how the course of the match was likely to go. There was candy floss that was melted into taffy, and cinnamon red hot candy scent in the air, leaving spectators cheering with delight for both casters. Darting ahead in the score and not turning back, it was Mew who would take the first match with a final score of 5.5 to 2.5 in 9 rounds. So we pressed on for another match where Rachael opened with the Power of the Tower to melt the creation of the candy floss mountain Mew had been building! They continued to trade spells, keeping the score extremely close before Mew closed out the second match with a final score of 5.5 to 4.5 in 8, thus securing their first reign of the Tower of Fire! ♦ 02-11-2023 The Mysterious (Or Mewsterious) #151 came under challenge by Mairead Harker in a possible attempt to mark another of the four elemental towers off their conquest list! With challenger taking the first match in a quick 8 rounds with a dominating 5.5 - 1 finish, Mew wouldn't let her streak continue and quickly gathered s'more points for themselves after 9 rounds with a 5.5 - 3.5 finish in the Keepers favor! It all came down to the third and final match with both Keeper Mew and Mairead sitting at 4.5 to 4.5 in the 10th round; but it would be the legendary psychic Pokemon who scored the final point of the night with a 5.5 - 4.5 finish to complete their first defense of their Tower of Fire reign! ♦ 02-09-2024 The craggy and magma filled ring of Tartarus was summoned by Archmage Eregor, who officiated for the evening, for a rematch challenge match between Keeper Mew, who held the title over a year, and Mairead Harker, former Keeper of three of the Isle's Towers. Harker took the first match, 5 - 3.5 in 9 rounds. Mew was not ready to turn over the brass and fire opal key as they won the second and third matches, 6 - 5 in 10 rounds and 5 - 3 in 8 rounds, to retain their title. Keeper and Challenger displayed their versatility including transforming, respectively, into a living candle and a baby bear.

Rachael Blackthorne     2021-03-14 - 2022-12-28   ( 654 days )

♦ 3-14-2021 The Key awaited the winner of the Spring 2021 All Ranks Tournament and 12 entrants showed up forcing the popular tournament to go to a single elimination to keep things from running to long and our casters energies up! Rachael was seeded 4th of the total 12, matching up with Bailey Raptis who had just been bested the night prior by Anya de la Rose for the Tower of Earth. The Professor took the lead and win with a final score of 5 to 3.5 in 9 rounds, allowing her to the second round and in turn facing another former keeper of Water (as Bailey had once held that Tower for a year’s span of time), Michelle Montoya. The two had a closely contested match, but it was Rachael who took the win with an impressive score of 6.5 to 5 in 13 rounds. Round three brought on Ebon Ilnaren where Rachael scored the lead early on (4 to 1 in 4), but Ebon dug in deep and looked to be closing the gap before a pair of Fear Touches from both casters sealed Rachael’s third win of the night with a score of 5 to 4 in 8. All that stood in Rachael’s path was Haru Jeong, a friendly and infernal caster who had just the previous week placed second in the Archmage Tournament. Things looked to be in Haru’s favor as he took full point lead in round 5, but by round 7 Rachael was making a steady climb ahead and for the win to seal her win of the Spring All Ranks Tournament and took hold of the key to the Tower of Fire! The waiting had certainly filled. ♦ 5-7-2021 The first challenger to Rachael's reign as Keeper of Fire came from Haru Jeong. Tartarus would be the ring of the evening and its fiery depths would be where both challenger and Keeper met! At the start of the first match it would be Rachael who saw an early lead of two points in the opening set of rounds, though Haru soon cut that lead in half in the third. The fourth round saw Rachael gaining yet another point but so too did Haru with their trade of spells! Possibly through the confusion of their traded blasts in that very round was Haru able to strike the Keeper once more to tie the match in the fifth. They traded once more soon after, yet Rachael's focus overpowered her opponent and saw her gain an advantage — and soon after the victory in the last round of the first match as she drew on the power of her element and erupted with the force of fire; ending the match 5.5 to 4 in 7 rounds. The second match then begun and Haru brought forth his own elemental fury (this in the form of the Keepers Blessing won from the Archmage Tournament where he had won second place). With the opening round of the second match in his favor, Haru was able to extend his lead well into the third round by three points while Rachael only had one to her name (due to a trade of magebolts in the third). Haru's lead extended the round after by half a point... and either by frustration or deep calculation did the Keeper unleashed the inferno once more — yet Haru, possibly expecting the spell, blasted forth a nether ray so that they would trade; a trade well done in his favor. Yet this trade would herald the Keepers return. Rachael, with two focused spells, was able to bring the match to 5.5 - 5, and while Haru still kept that small lead, it would only be for one more round before Rachael overtook it and then soon after did she take the match. 8 - 6.5 in Rachael's favor would be the final score that cemented her first defense. ♦ 6-15-21 Rachael's second challenge came from Karma Armstrong in a bid to unify the Keepers Key of Fire and the FireStar opal together within the inferno. One challenge led to another, with Rachael issuing challenge for FireStar within the very same day; yet the first of the two challenges would be on Twilight Isle. The first match within Tartarus saw the Keeper defend her title with a 5 - 1 victory in 6 rounds, while the challenger shot back in the second to tie the challenge with a 5.5 - 1.5 win in 7 rounds. The challenge would come down to the third and final match. A match won by a strong lead seemed to be the trend tonight in the prior two rounds and the third would be no exception as Rachael defended the Tower of Fire with a final 5 - 1 in 7 round win! ♦ 8-05-21 PyroMaster Rachael Blackthorne’s next challenge came from her nephew, Haru Jeong. Their family and friends were out in force to cheer them on as they squared off in Tartarus. The pair got straight to business with Max Lager officiating what might have been one of the quickest challenge matches in the Isle’s history! Both matches went a total of 14 rounds in twenty minutes! Rachael Blackthorne def. Haru Jeong, 5 - 3 in 9 rounds. Rachael Blackthorne def. Haru Jeong, 5 - 2.5 in 5 rounds. — Contributed by Mairead Harker. ♦ 9-22-21 A fiery spectacle promised, and one was delivered as Rachael and Jackson showed up to the Isle to battle it out and ‘set stuff on fire’ as Jackson in particular seemed to encourage. The Heat naturally did not seem to bother the PyroMaster and the Keeper requested to have the matches occur in her special ring, Tartarus. While Rachael was armed with fiery red mana at her disposal, Jackson took ready with his magical rifle (which may or may not have been part flamethrower throughout the night) and the pair got started. While Rachael scored first for the evening, the first match looked to be heavily in Jackson’s favor for the following few rounds. Rachael however kept the challenger to 3.5 points for 4 rounds before she caught up and tied the match in round 8. The pair made things a little spooky before Rachael burst forward to take the first match with a final score of 6.5 – 4.5 in 10. The second match stuck with the theme of the evening, keeping things hot, hot, hot and with Jackson starting off in a strong lead! He struck match point in round 6, the score being 4-2 and looking as though they would swiftly push things into a third match, but it was shortly after that the Professor continued to close the gap of Jackson’s lead and would even take a half point lead in round 8. As the score climbed past 4, 5, and tied at 6.5 in round 12, it looked to be anyone’s match and spectators all around where on the edge of their seats. In the end, it was Rachael who sealed the match and her 4th defense of the Tower of Fire with a final score of 7.5-6.5 in 13. ♦ 11-11-21 Perhaps Michelle sought to take a different approach to finishing her business in the Tower of Water by challenging for the Tower of Fire, but whatever her reasoning for challenging, Rachael was more than happy to comply and set out to try for another defense of the fiery Tower. These two highly skilled casters began and stayed in the blackened craggy levels of Tartarus for three matches, leaving spectators to awe at all the fireworks! The first match started with Michelle dominating and controlling the scoreboard, keeping a healthy lead over Rachael for several rounds. Though Rachael was able to focus down and close the gap of Michelle’s lead, it wasn’t enough to overtake the current Diamond, and Michelle won 5.5 to 4 in 7 rounds. The second match kept the casters much closer in score and had the possibility of becoming a seesaw battle as to who would take the lead and keep it. In the end, Rachael would blast her way into the win and caught Michelle in some of her shadow hopping with a final score of 5 to 3.5 in 8. In the third and final match, Rachael’s skills must have been plenty warmed up because she held a fiery lead over Michelle the entire match, keeping the current Diamond to a mere 2.5 points. Rachael walked away with a final win of 5.5 to 2.5 in 7 and thus knocked out her 5th defense of the Tower of Fire! ♦ 1-20-22 Rachael’s sixth challenge came from Mira, who may have had her sights set on a different element originally but decided to try and tackle the pillar of strength and wisdom of the Professor holding the Tower of Fire. The pair met with Mira dressed in black and Rachael in a fiery red, both looking festive for the occasion, both arriving right on time and both happy to step into the special ring of Tartarus. The first match started off with Mira focusing up and working on a shut-out attempt against Rachael, keeping the Keeper from scoring until the 4th round. Rachael managed to stall Mira from scoring in two following rounds, but the challenger got her feet back underneath her and closed the first match with a score of 5.5 to 3.5 in 8! In the second match Mira was looking to repeat the explosive action of the first, ensuring that Rachael did not score in the opening round. However, it was Rachael who froze Mira out (ironic for the Keeper of Fire) from scoring further in the second match and sealed victory in her favor with a score of 5.5 to 1 in 6. With Keeper and Challenger tied one to one in this best of three, they moved on to the third and final match. Spectators were left on the edge of their seats as Rachael kept Mira from scoring in the first three rounds, then left the challenger only to a single point as Rachael bypassed match point with a score of 4.5 to 1 in 6. Mira knew she’d have to refocus her efforts, and she began the comeback train, scoring a half a point and then a full point in the following two rounds and stopping Rachael from scoring further. With Rachael smoking out Mira’s attempt in the 10th round however, it was the Professor who closed the match and thus sealed her sixth defense in the histories of the Tower of Fire! ♦ 03-09-22 Stepping up to the plate for Rachael’s seventh challenge in her reign as the Keeper of the Tower of Fire would be Maggie Harker. Promising to not burn any actual barns, only figurative ones, the two met on the Isle in the ring of Tartarus with pizza, sweets, mocktails and cocktails provided by family and friends. The fireworks broke out when the two casters arrived, both taking on stylish gowns that clearly did not hinder either one of their abilities in the ring. In the first match, Rachael may have scored first but Maggie followed up with the first full point of the night. The two kept the score close and it looked as though spectators were in for a fair amount of fiery back and forth until Rachael dug in and closed the match with a wall of fire that seeped through Maggie’s defenses with a final score of 5 to 3 in 9 rounds. In the second match, Maggie was first on the board and looked to be chipping away at a possible shut out against Rachael when the Keeper let the young girl score for three rounds with no points to show for it. In the 4th round Rachael inched her way on the board with a half a point, then doubled that, then doubled again to tie things up in the 6th round with a score of 2 apiece. Another trade in the following round showed that Maggie wasn’t afraid of the heat, but Rachael soon scored a point in the last two rounds to close out her seventh defense with a final score of 5 to 3 in 9. The odds were certainly in Rachael’s favor on this one! ♦ 07-14-22 Eager to test her skills in the challenge ring, Lillian Whitefield took on none other than The Professor, Keeper of Fire, Rachael Blackthorne. Things were kept spicy outside of the rings and at the buffet table, both casters looked red hot taking things to the fiery ring of Tartarus as the challenge got underway. Lillian showed how much she’d learned since her explosive first steps into the rings and kept Rachael from scoring the first three rounds before they traded in a big way in the fourth. The Keeper then turned the tables on the student, scoring in the next three rounds even moving past match point! Lillian moved to defensive tactics, but with a trade in the ninth round, it was Rachael who closed the match with a final score of 5.5 to 4.5. The second match started off like the first, with Lillian first on the board, but Rachael was quick to tie things up in the following round. From there things were kept close on the scoreboard, but things looked to lean in Lillian’s favor as she held the lead in rounds five through eight. In the ninth, Rachael edged head and kept things in her control before closing out the challenge with a final score of 6.5 to 5.5 in 11. This marked the 8th defense for Rachael in the Tower of Fire! ♦ 09-15-22 Tower of Fire - once again - under challenge! This time by Anya de la Rose looking to regain a tower for their own; from earth to a possible stay in fire! As the two met within the realm of Tartarus it would be be the Keeper who found footing and small lead within the first 2 rounds, but Anya soon after took the lead and the match itself with a final score of 5 - 2.5 in 9 rounds. The thought that Keeper Blackthorne's stay in the Tower of Fire had finally come to an end would only be rallied on as Anya took the first point of the following match, then the second, until Rachael was able to regain some lost ground and finally the small advantage of a lead in round 6, though this soon turned to a tie at 3.5 between both challenger and keeper. This tie would only stay strong for a single round as Rachael brought the second of the matches to an end with the final score of 5 - 3.5 in 8. The final match would be a dominating one for Keeper Blackthorne. Controlling the first and second round with only a minor set back in the third before going untouched in the 4th, 5th, and finally the 6th. With a stunning ending of a 5 - 1 in 6 round victory, Rachael's ninth defense of the Tower of Fire was completed! ♦ 11-14-22 With the dream of holding the Tower of Fire for the first time challenger Mairead Harker contested Rachael Blackthrone's claim to the keepers key of fire. The 14th day of November would mark a day where history would be made, be it weal or woe for Keeper Blackthorne. Would her historic reign as Keeper of Fire come to an end with Mairead Harker acting as king slayer, or would Rachael achieve what only Etherean Esperwind has been able to within the halls of the volcanic keepers tower. This knowledge no doubt hung over Rachael's head as she stood within Tartarus and began her clash against Mairead. While the challenger gained the upper hand in the early portion of the challenge the Keeper did not allow herself to falter and fought back — going as far as claiming the lead herself in the 5th round and soon the match in with a defensive maneuver in the 7th. 5 - 2.5 in 7, Keeper Blackthorne. Claiming the first win of the night the Keeper allowed the inferno to engulf her and with a fiery passion did she rise from the ashes of possible defeat like a phoenix when in the second challenge duel Mairead sat at match point with a 4 - 2.5 score. 2.5 turned to 4 in an instant when the Keeper focused her magic and struck the challenger with a potent mage bolt, yet the tie was broken by Mairead by only half a point the round after.. only for the Keeper to take the edge in the round after that! Fitting that round 10 would be the final one of the night, as it would be the round to mark Rachael's 10th defense of the Tower of Fire. With an end score of 5.5 - 4.5 in 10 rounds history was made.

Mart Diluna     2021-01-06 - 2021-02-14   ( 39 days )

♦ 01-06-21 The first match that made up the Tower of Fire challenge between Keeper Regina and challenger Mart would have many betters sitting confident in a possible defense. With the Keeper taking the win 5.5 - 3.5 in 11 being the early indicator, the second and third match of the night proved that the process of Keeper challenges within the sport of Magic is a race — not a sprint. The second match saw Mart quickly gaining his first win of the night with an almost shut out in 5 rounds; though 5 - .5 is nonetheless impressive; even more so when it heralded his claim to the Tower of Fire after he secured his challenge victory in the third and final match of the night with an end score of 5 - 2.5 in 7 rounds. ♦ 02-14-21 Due to inactivity Mart was stripped of his right to the Tower of Fire. ♦ 02-18-21 Mart Di'luna was stripped of the Title of Keeper of Fire by virtue of not dueling since 10-20-2020, yet with Kira Adia's challenge in the wings it was set that Jaycy, the then Keeper of Air, would act as the Champion of Fire. While Kira started the three part challenge strong to take the first match, she was unable to overcome Champion Jaycy's onslaught in the second and third — and with no Keeper of Fire in place the Tower would go dormant for a time as it waits for its future Keeper to be named in the Spring All Ranks tournament.

Regina Wellston     2020-11-17 - 2021-01-06   ( 50 days )

♦ 11-17-20 The one word best used to describe this challenge would be「 Control 」. It would be Regina who held control of the first of three matches as, round after round, she held strong and extended her lead until gaining the first win of the night with a 6 - 3 in 7 finish. The second match saw control shift to Eden as the Keeper's quick thinking saw her with a clear three point to zero lead in the first three rounds. While Regina was able to get on the board, it wasn't enough to truly dent Eden's lead as the Keeper of Fire gained match point in the 7th round and then the win in the 8th with a 5.5 - 2 in 8 win in her favor. The third and final match saw Regina take the reins and, once again, control of the challenge. With only one round of the six being one without her scoring, Regina saw fit to make sure that Eden saw no gain without loss in the third and final match as each score put on the board was either in Regina's favor or a trade between the two fighters. With the third and final match in her favor it would be Regina who stood triumphant in the end and became the newest Keeper of Fire.

Eden Parker     2020-06-13 - 2020-11-17   ( 157 days )

♦ 06-13-20 With Keepers Blessing (or Peepers Blessing as she likes to call it) in hand Eden challenged Mallory for the Tower of Fire! The challenge itself was an explosive display of magic, and fireworks, as the former Archmage faced off against Keeper Maeda! Eden's magical prowess was on full display as she skillfully fought against the Keeper to take both the first and second match! With her victory Eden gains her first ever elemental keeper title in the sport of Magic! The end score of both matches were: 5-1 in 6, and 5-2.5 in 7. ♦ 07-29-20 It wouldn't be the Cycle of Fire without the Tower of Fire being contested. Bellamere set his sights on the fiery Tower in his second attempt at a title — and much like the first did he have the upper hand when it came to the opening match by besting Eden 5.5 - 2 in 7. This did not seem to deter the Keeper as she quickly, and quite soundly, came back in the second match by defeating her opponent 5 - 1 in 6 — a score which returned in the third, though in 8 rounds compared to 6. With two victories from within the elemental ring of Tartarus did Eden Parker defend her right to the Tower of Fire and continue on as its keeper! ♦ 09-08-20 As the Cycle of Fire drew to a close it would seem that Eden would not go without another challenge — this time from Haru Jeong; yet it would not be until week one of the new Cycle of Earth that they fought. Eden dominated much of the two matches with Haru only gaining the lead twice; once in each of the matches. With Eden's victory in the first with an end score of 5 - 3 in 6 she decided to draw forth the power of Tartarus so that the second and last match could be fought within the vaunted keepers ring. The match in Tartarus would last 8 rounds with the aforementioned winner securing victory with a score of 5 - 3.

Mallory Maeda     2020-03-15 - 2020-06-13   ( 90 days )

♦ 03-15-20 Mallory wins the Spring 2020 All Ranks Tournament and takes the Tower of Fire as her prize. ♦ 04-23-20 In the fiery depths of Tartarus Mallory would gain her first defense against challenger Jaycy Ashleana. In two duels the Keeper won the first of her matches with an impressive 5 - 2 in 8 win, though it was the second match where Mallory found harder to keep her footing to start — yet in the end she was able to push back a sudden death score of 6 - 6 and reach a 7 - 6 finish in 14.

♦ 12-09-19 Phil wins the 2019 Winter All Ranks Tournament to become the newest Keeper of Fire. ♦ 02-15-20 Unable to defend his title against challenger Rachael Blackthorne, Phil decides to retire as the Keeper of Fire. Xanth van Bokkelen, the then Keeper of Air, acted as champion in Phil's place and defeated Rachael in two duels: 5 - 2 in 7 rounds and 5 - 4 in 10 rounds.
