A bards tale of courage born of carnage on a battlefield of piercing stone. The Keeper of Earth and his challenger stood as opposites this night. The desire to keep and covet on full display to those watching from the sidelines.

The scales of fate tilt to Szuzak's favor in the first round with a valiant show of magical prowess in the face of elemental mastery. While Sir Delahada gained the first point of the match, it would be Szuzak's skill that saw him rise to the final call of the eighth round as the momentary victor! A victory stripped from him in the second by the Keeper in a furious twelfth round match defining break to a 6-6 tie!

Both Keeper and Defender were beaten and bloody.. yet it would be Salvador Delahada who stood strong in the finale of the third and final match. His victory and defense secured after 7 rounds with a 5-3.5 finish!
