Notes from the Isle

July 24th - July 30th

-Week 9 of 9-

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Archlich returns! Xanth Van Bokkelen reached for the Celestial Citadel and took hold with his mighty grip after winning the Archmage Tournament against Twilight Isle's best and brightest and then Archmage Challenge against predecessor Ebon Ilnaren! Many may have thought that Ebon would gain yet another defense to his reign after the first of three was won in his favor, but Twilight Isle's favorite Lich began his comeback with a stunning 5.5 - 0 in 5 win in the second! The third saw both casters shifting the score back and forth in each of their favor, but it would be Xanth who gained the upper hand in the 9th round and ran away with it! Congratulations Xanth and well reigned Ebon! It may be a good idea to hide away any of your precious books, or will the vast library of the Celestial Citadel keep Xanth busy?

In Elemental Tower Challenge News we have the Archmage Tournament second place and winner of the Keeper's Blessing, Droet the Bold! Which Elemental Tower is in his sights..? The Tower of Water! Keeper Dris answered the challenge call and the two will meet TONIGHT, Sunday July the 31st at 9 PM (ET)! This challenge will sure be a splash!

With the end of the Cycle of the Celestial comes the announcement of the winner of the Ring of Klytus! Congratulations Mairead Harker! Her placement in the Ring of Klytus rankings also aided her guild, the Steel Tiger Clan, win the Guild Quest: The Apex Preda-Prestidigitation-er. Interested in joining or creating a guild of your own for future Quests or creating a likeminded community? Come down to the Twilight Guild Center for more details!

Read! Cast! Laugh! Repeat! "HmmHmmHaHaHa!" Have you tried the newest Twilight Isle Drink of the Month? The Laughing Lich will no doubt make you cackle with its amazing taste! Take a glass with you as you travel to the Mirage Island.. I wonder, is there a Laughing Lich in another world?

Note: Serenity Silverhand won the Empowered Fire Gem Wand on 06/12/2022 in the Summer All Ranks tournament. This awards the usage of Elemental Fury in regulation matches until the next All Ranks tournament.

NEWS FROM OTHER VENUES: Outback challenge spree — and all thanks to the newest Diamond and Twilght Isle local, Karma! With words of wisdom (and bribes of money) the Diamond and her noble-swayed Emeralds made sure that all five of the Opals were put under challenge! We've already had one of the Opal challenges finished, with ShadoWeaver holder Mira Burke defeated by challenger Stitch!

Tomorrow will have Nayun Takamine facing off against FireStar holder Reign at 9 PM (ET) while the twin challenges to IceDancer and MoonBeryl dubbed as the "Double Simon Challenge" are only half scheduled with Koyliak and Droet fighting for IceDancer this coming Friday, August the 5th at 9:30 PM (ET)!

Looking for another match to watch between Monday and Friday? Look no further than the PathFinder challenge between Mairead and Salvador on Thursday the 4th! The fate of the Green Opal will be decided with challenge start set for 9:30 PM (ET)!

Be sure to give the Diamond some love for all her hard promotion work!

In the Arena we have the Kaiju King: King of the Ring 2022 happening this Friday night! Throw your name into the running and have a blast soaking the competition for your name to be written in the histories as the Kaiju King! I wonder what that River Egg could hatch..? Keep cool in the Arena while you wait for the King of the Ring with the New Haven Challenge with challenger Anubis and Baron Jackson! The sword-singing and/or rock throwing will begin tomorrow at 10:30 PM (ET)!

We also spotted another challenge in the Arena, this time from Overlord Grant recipient Nero Zhir for our above praised Diamond and Cadentia Baron, Karma! Did the Overlord make the right choice or will a hand picked challenger going after one of her Loyals be used against her in the future? Keep your eyes on the cork for developing details!

DEBUTS: Welcome Angel!

ADVANCEMENTS: No rank increases this week.

THE RING OF KLYTUS: The holder for this cycle is Mairead Harker! The ring grants an additional focus over the normally allotted amount, but is still limited to the maximum of 3 foci.

Cycle Ranks Through Week 9

Cycle rankings show how duelists perform over the course of the cycle, with the top performer earning the Ring of Klytus (provided they began the cycle below the rank of Mage). To balance percentage performance duelists are broken into 3 brackets based on number of duels fought, with top accolades achievable by only those in the upper tier. Duelists are ordered first by bracket, then by winning percentage, followed by the number of wins and lastly by low rank to high.

(click column headers to sort the table.)
