Notes from the Isle

January 5th - January 11th

-Week 2 of 9-

ANNOUNCEMENTS: January is a time for challenges, with the second one of the year being issued by Gillette Brooke just this past week. We’re looking forward to seeing how this Challenge for Earth plays out between her and reigning Keeper Marcella Brooks! The action is already scheduled to take place this Thursday the 16th at 9:00 PM, right here on the Isle!

Note: Dominique Draegon won the Winter’s Fury on 12/15/24 in the Winter All Ranks tournament. This awards the usage of Elemental Fury in regulation matches until the next All Ranks tournament.

AROUND THE CITY: Rhy’Din appears to remain in recovery mode from all the holiday celebrations that closed out the old year to ring in the new. Certainly all the restful quiet will cease to last long.

NEWS FROM OTHER VENUES: The Outback management has announced Diamond Quest CXX, set to take place on Saturday, January 18th! Sign up now to participate and take your shot at becoming the 120th Diamond! The unarmed action begins at 8:00 PM at the end of this week!

The first Challenge for Overlord of the new year was concluded this past Thursday night in the Arena! In a single duel that lasted ten rounds and went into double sudden death, challenger Anubis Karos was able to reclaim the mantle from the hands of Eregor Túr Gairdín. Congratulations to the new Overlord and well reigned to the old!

That very same night, shortly after the title was changing hands, Salvador Delahada issued his second Challenge to Cadentia against reigning Baron Matt Simon! This challenge has been validated, and now we await further details on when it will be taking place! Stay tuned!

DEBUTS: No debuts this week.

ADVANCEMENTS: No rank increases this week.

THE RING OF KLYTUS: The holder for this cycle is Averia Gallows! 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 2

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
