Baroness Ellisa Morgan,

I feel it is time ta write da final chapter in our book of challenges. Ya have defended yer ring many months now, and with great honor. Ye approach da mark of longest reign fer da 7th ring, set long ago by Lord Athlstan, a goal dat has always been in me mind and is verra important ta me. With dat said, I do hereby challenge ya fer yer ring and station of Baron in da community of da Duel of Swords. Should ya be victorious once more, ya will most
likely achieve da most defenses and longest reign of dis ring, and although I would be glad ta see a friend achieve such, I also seek one more attempt ta stop ya as it is a goal of mine. Ta ya, and others, dis may seem a petty goal. But no other ring have I held fer so long, and defended so many times. It was a part of who I was, and who I am....I will fight verra hard ta wear it again. And so Baroness, as tradition holds, da date, time and
place of our duel may be chosen by ya; I will secure us a RDI ta officiate our match. Skill and honor ta ya Ellisa, may da one who wears da ring always wear it well.

Respectfully,

~Jeffrey Oakenshield~
Twice keeper of da 7th Barons' Ring of DoS

Jeff;

I would be avoiding my character were I not to contradict your definition of the term "final chapter". The Baroness bested you not once, but twice, successively. Are you now so lacking for goals that you're merely going to pit yourself against her in another meaningless war for the Seventh Ring?

Sidartha;

There is a vast difference between scandal and aimless repetition.

Draven~

I know full well of aimless repitition. I see it in nearly every challenge, you shooting down the challenger or the challenge for whatever pointless reason.

Why can't you just see Jeff and Ellisa's challenges as a friendly rivalry, rather than aimless repition?

Sidartha;

On matters of "aimless repetition", your obvious obliviousness shall always reign atop the hordes. My words I consider justified within themselves. As I stated some months ago, you seem always to contradict your peaceful facade in your obsurd rebuttals that buzz about my head like so many vexing gnats.

Draven,

Don't hold yer breath fer any kind of response other dan dis missive. I never liked yer negative attitude on da message boards, and I don't feel a need ta justify me challenge ta ya in any way.


Simply,
