Denizens of the Duel of Swords!
It was my great honor and privilege to be asked to officiate this challenge!
The challenger, Warlord Nayun, fought under the banner of the Three Tail Emblem, and listed Kishijoten as her Person of Honor.
The laziest Overlord in the universe didn't tell me anything significant, so I figure Harris honors nobody. I know. We're not surprised.
However, he did decide to subject Nayun to a Test of Worthiness as per
Overlord Proclamation #1. Belatedly, Warlord Nayun listed Bile, the Baron of Seaside, as her Second, for the purposes of championing her for this part of the challenge. He succeeded in defeating Maggie Harker to allow Nayun to move on to fighting Harris personally.
In fifteen very long and grueling rounds, Nayun eventually prevailed, and is now your new Overlord of the Duel of Swords!
Well won, Nayun! Congratulations!
Great try on that defense, Harris!
