First of all, my apologies for the delay in this posting. The results were known and posted upon the Standings yesterday.
Baron of the Fifth Ring, Verceterix Gavin Favre did offer challenge to the Twenty-ninth Overlord, Eros Hunrai Marzanhe DeBurgo.
When asked if the Overlord would Test the Challenger, he said "No, Madame. The Baron is more than Worthy."
The Overlord dueled under the colors of Red, Black and Gold, bearing the Standard of The House of Asgard. He dueled for The House of Asgard and The Elven Kingdom of Eldicor, bearing in his hand the Elven Broadsword named Valinor. At his side, standing as his second, is the Baron of the Tenth Ring, Var Medici-Giovanni. His lady of Honor is Queen Teleperien, Queen of Eldicor.
The Baron of the Fifth Ring dueled under the colors of Crimson and Black, bearing in his hand the blade known as Icebreaker. At his side, standing as his second, stands the Baron of the First, Cristian de Oro. He had no Lady of Honor.
First Duel... first round.
The Baron stands ready, giving no ground to the circling Overlord. The Baron stands ready, giving no ground to the circling Overlord. The blade Valinor moves as Eros does, moving low and close... And yet, Rix has moved at last, Icebreaker striking out to halt the Overlord's advance.
( Fancy Duck - Low Cut )
First Duel... Second Round.
The Baron begins to move steadily now, watching carefully. The Overlord remains on the move as well, refusing to show signs of harm from the opening strike. Rix steps in, Icebreaker flashing in the light... But Eros holds Valinor at the ready, intercepting the attack with ease.
( Fancy Lateral Parry - High Cut )
First Duel... Round Three.
The Baron remains on the attack, moving smoothly forward... The Overlord, slowing a step, finds his blade Valinor out of position... But, Eros' quick step enables him to avoid another wound from Icebreaker.
( Sidestep - Thrust )
First Duel... Round Four.
His offence stimied, the Baron slows his steps slightly... The Overlord again moves to capitalize, moving low... Rix swings Icebreaker down in masterful defence, ready for the assault... Yet Eros has outmaneuvered him again with a quick roll to the left.
( Duck - Fancy Circle Parry )
First Duel... Round Five.
The Baron holds Icebreaker steady, showing little sign of frustration... The Overlord moves slowly, Valinor held with an easy grip... Rix returns to the assault, striking swiftly... But Eros is no longer there, moving aside with near blinding speed.
( Fancy Sidestep - Thrust )
First Duel... Round Six.
Showing no sign of slowing, the Baron maintains his assault... After many rounds of defence, the Overlord moves to strike as well... Icebreaker flashes through the air, striking Eros high... Yet Rix is not unscathed, for Valinor has struck low.
( Low Cut - High Cut )
First Duel... Round Seven.
The Baron maintains his stance, showing no fear... The Overlord, having struck once already, moves to the attack once more. Rix draws Icebreaker close in, moving to avoid the strike... But Eros strikes quicker, Valinor flashing out to score the final point.
( High Cut - Fancy Sidestep )
The Overlord takes the First Duel by a score of Five to Two.
Second Duel... Round One.
The Baron starts steadily, holding Icebreaker in an even grip...
The Overlord begins again with a low movement...
Standing at the defence, Icebreaker ready for an attack...
Rix finds Valinor moving below his defence for the strike.
( Low Cut - Lateral Parry )
Second Duel... Round Two.
The Baron shows little sign of injury, moving with his usual calm deliberation... The Overlord remains on the attack, moving swiftly... Rix swings Icebreaker out to intercept the Overlord's charge... Yet Eros holds Valinor extended, his strike landing first.
( Thrust - Low Cut )
Second Duel... Round Three.
The Baron stands his ground, despite his wounds... The Overlord moving to the attack once more, his offence relentless... Rix sweeps Icebreaker into a defence once more... And knocks Valinor aside from the path Eros had sent it.
( Low Cut - Fancy Circle Parry )
Second Duel... Round Four.
The Baron seeks to capitalize, moving once more... The Overlord moves back a step, becoming slightly more cautious... Rix brings Icebreaker in close, stepping swiftly away... But Eros simply watches and waits, holding Valinor steady.
( Stop Hit - Fancy Sidestep )
Second Duel... Round Five.
The Baron remains calm, knowing an attack will come... The Overlord flashes into motion, moving quickly... Rix sets Icebreaker to intercept... Yet Eros has simply darted away.
( Fancy Disengage - Circle Parry )
Second Duel... Round Six.
Apparently loosing patience, the Baron moves to the attack... Unpredictable as ever, the Overlord charges in... Rix brings Icebreaker high to strike... But Eros has moved below the strike, scoring with a swift thrust of Valinor.
( Thrust - High Cut )
Second Duel... Round Seven.
The Baron moves back, wary and weary from his wounds... The Overlord, sensing an opening, continues his assault. Rix drops low, angling his blade in defence... But Eros has swept Valinor low, striking for the point.
( Low Cut - Fancy Duck )
Second Duel... Round Eight.
The Baron is wounded, but still holds Icebreaker ready... The Overlord rushes forward, moving to finish the match... Rix holds Icebreaker off to the side, not even trying to intercept... For instead, he has outdistanced Eros' attack, preventing Valinor from striking.
( Thrust - Fancy Disengage )
Second Duel... Round Nine.
Heartened by his success, the Baron brings the attack to the Overlord. Eros, catching his blance, ceases his assault, bringing Valinor around... Rix strikes out, Icebreaker cutting the air... But failing to cut into the Overlord past his iron defence.
( Fancy Circle Parry - Thrust )
The Overlord takes the Second Duel by the score of Five to Two.
Thus did Lord Eros Hunrai Marzanhe DeBurgo remain the Twenty-ninth Overlord of the Duel of Swords.
Lady Drake, aka The Gryphon...
Standing's Keeper for the Duel of Swords.
Results of the Overlord Challenge.

There should be a restriction keeping barons who cannot maintain 15 wins over losses from challenging for overlord.
Please tell me a baron, any baron, will challenge Cristian soon if he cannot get his win over losses up to the barest minimum.

>>Please tell me a baron, any baron, will challenge Cristian soon if he cannot get his win over losses up to the barest minimum.<<
Morgan,
If you feel somone needs to be challenged, then there is an easy way to remedy the matter. Get 15 peer wins and challenge Cristian yourself. I will not share my opinion on Cristian as Overlord, as I have not reached one yet. To the matter of his wins over losses, I agree with your point, but calling on others to challenge someone is not the best way to approach the problem. Unless there is a reason you *cannot* challenge, if you believe a title
holder unfit, challenge them yourself.
This is not meant to be a lecture, as you have accused me of doing before, or an attack. It merely upsets me to see a skilled duelist with the ability and passion to pursue a challenge if they feel it necessary express the hope that others will challenge. If you think someone needs to be challenged, do it. If you don't, state your opinion as to his wins over losses and leave it at that.
The expression of the wish that someone else would challenge in such an inflammatory manner is in poor taste. I agree that the supreme duelist of the the sport should meet the requirements of a Warlord. However, I would not agree with your statement regarding 'any baron' giving challenge. More than one of our Barons are less worthy than Cristian, 15 wins over losses or not, by the standards that so many people seem to like to set for our title
holders.
Your Servant,
Duc Percival Marchand de Clermont

Percival, I do not have the desire to quibble over small points of difference or semantics with you.
The opinion stands as stated, unchanged.
Move along.

Percy
Thee seem to hae an opinion of certain of the barons, for thee state, "More than one of our barons are less worthy than Cristian...." Tis right interesting thee hae nae the intestinal fortitude to name said barons. I seem to recall a less than cordial challenge thee made unto the Lady of Avalon stating she was unfit to hold a ring.
The Lady of Avalon hast stated her opinion and her reasons. Perhaps thee dinna notice.
Thee fall back upon the "If you don't like it, challenge" mindset. One need nae back opinion with blade. How utter droll of thee to consider the expression of an opinion ast being "inflammatory" or in "poor taste" One need but peruse various of thine comments upon this cork which more than fall into the category of "poor taste". Let it nae be forgotten that thee support deceit in thine friends, holding in esteem those that hae shown they care
nae for truth or honor and continue to be a blight upon all that these ancient caverns and rings represent. Tis the mark of a true coward and hypocrite.

Morgan,
The notion of challenging simply because of the amount of wins over losses someone has, to me, is utterly ridiculous.

Lass, thee may nae hae yet made Cristian's acquaintance. Ta me mind, ast thee well know, a record nae speaks of the man. Though I do understand thine comment, perhaps, once thee hae spoken with or corresponded with the gentleman who now bears the burden of the crown and mantle, thee shall consider ast I hae, that tis certes an example wherein, indeed, the record does nae speak all that is the man.
Cordially,
Thine friend,

Gnimish laughs hysterically reading Jona's closing words in one of her long winded posts upon the board:
"Tis the mark of a true coward and hypocrite."
Making sure Cyggy is distracted, he tacts up a quick note that simply reads,
If the shoe fits.
He than smiles at Cyggy and says, "I like that Percy fellow more and more every day, he's a great button pusher", the gnomes chuckle is hearty.
Cygnet smiles, noticing the note in Gnim's handwriting.
"Your script has improved Gnim."
A private smile is shared between them.
