Notes from the Isle

April 21st - April 27th

-Week 1 of 9-

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Earth Keeper Rachael Blackthorne met up with DiArchLord Matt Simon this past Thursday night on the Isle to determine the fate of the Celestial Citadel! This incredibly star-studded Archmage Challenge pushed both spellcasters to their limits, making it quite the show to see! It took all three matches for a clear winner to be determined, and it was the lady of the Watch who walked away victorious! Congratulations on your second occupancy as Archmage, Rachael! Well reigned, Matt!

With this victory, the key to the Tower of Earth has once again been set adrift, but hopefully the mountain won’t remain vacant for long! Rumor has it another tournament is in the works! Stay tuned for more details on how you could become the next Keeper of Earth!

Note: Nikolai Aristotle Vevea-Allen won the Tidecaller’s Trident on 3/17/24 in the Spring All Ranks tournament. This awards the usage of Elemental Fury in regulation matches until the next All Ranks tournament.

AROUND THE CITY

The sensationally stylish annual Fashion Week kicked off last night at the Great Desert Raceway in Cadentia! Our very own Governor Gatito Lindo was rumored to have sashayed across the runway, as well as a selection of a number of other well-loved Rhy’Din celebrities. The rest of the week promises more rip-roaring, engine-revving events to come, so do be sure to check the calendar for further details!

NEWS FROM OTHER VENUES: Squire of Dragon’s Gate, Nikolai Aristotle Vevea-Allen, has wasted no time making use of the grant gifted to him by Madness winner Baroness Abby Fenner, and has issued a rather creative Challenge for Dockside to current Renegade Baron Herne the Huntsman! This challenge has been validated, and we eagerly await more news on when it will be taking place!

The Outback management team has announced the Quest for MoonBeryl, a two-week long competition event to decide which persistent pugilist will be granted the right to be the next holder of the MoonBeryl Opal! Fists will be flying to tally the points starting tonight! So get out there and get to punching, or kicking, in two weeks worth of regulation dueling unarmed tournament combat! See the cork for more details.

DEBUTS: No debuts this week.

ADVANCEMENTS: Abby Fenner advances to Sorcerer! Julia Winters advances to Enchanter!

THE RING OF KLYTUS: The holder for this cycle is Rachael Blackthorne! 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 1

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.)

Bracket 1: 8+ duels   |   Bracket 2: 4-7 duels   |   Bracket 3: 1-3 duels
