Esteemed Duelists,

Despite my best efforts, I have been
unable to determine the name and number of
duelings schools in our fine sport. Though
we suffer from no shortage of houses, I am
as yet uncertain as to whether or not said
houses also function as schools.

I pray you shall pardon the bluntness
of my public enquiry: who teaches the fair
art of the blade, and are classes open?

Respectfully,
Fandral Kurgan

Lord Kurgan,

As the head of one such House, I would offer this. Though I do not feel qualified to be considered a true teacher of the sport of the Duel of Swords, I have numerous times offered and had accepted my help. When some feel the need to come to me, I do my best to guide them in the right direction of the duel. Offer hints and strategies, possible combos and such. I cannot say that I run a school. And I cannot say I am a teacher. I do what I can with what skill and knowledge I have to offer.

Also, as I may teach somewhat, I am also a continuing student under the current Overlord Dalamar. He is my teacher of the sport as of several months back..If he is running a school, I cannot say, but I know he has more than myself as a student.

Very Respectfully,

Baron G'nort Espelande G'neesmacher Dragoon Talanador
Always a student.

Though not a teacher in any way, I have always tried to help my fellow duelist when they were in need. And in the light of the fact that I am sure that you, Bishop, are not in need of *instruction* but mayhaps some some knocking about to knock off the rust.....I place myself at your disposal for some practice...so that you my find, as I believe you can, the edge your blade once had.

May your blade be sharp and your wits be sharper,

::reads through and grins. Runs and snags one of Marcus' stubby pencils on the bottom of Fandral's note::

Ta best school be wi' ya friends in ta arena, just duelin' and duelin' until ya can nae stand it no more. Then ya go to ta DoS night, an' toss away ya worries 'bout ya standin's. Challange ta duelers who ya *know* can beat ya. Take a look at their style an' study their moves. When they ou' guess ya, invite 'em over to a tavern an' ask 'im wha' they think of ya style. If some get all snotty an' proud on ya sayin' they hae no time for ya, just ignore 'em. There be plenty tha' like ta bend ya ear.
Listen an' learn. If ya work real hard an' ya keep up ya duelin' one day ya learn ta true secret o' all ta *best duelists.

They rather hae a challengin' duel an' lose, then hae an easy duel an' win.

Bishop,
The one great teacher who still teaches ye are very aware of. I believe Xenograg has not moved to a new location and still can be found at the same place.
