A thick white sheet of parchment was tacked to the corkboard with a black and gold pushpin. The message that it contained was written in an exceptionally precise left-handed script in black ink. A seal in black and gold wax with the impression in the wax of a panther head was at the bottom of the parchment.

Monsieur Karos,

This challenge from you for the custodianship of the Opal FireStar is not unexpected.

Your reasons for your challenge are your own. I do not and will not presume to question them.

I hereby officially accept this challenge.
