Swords Community,

If your qualified to challenge for Baron please challenge me. If I best Kaprielle and Ulath Wednesday night, then please issue challenge immediatetly. I can not in good concious just abandon my title and my position, nor can I simply throw it away by not dueling my best when so challenged. While I would be glad to be rid of my title, not because of my lack of respect for the title, but because my heart is too sad to remain on this world and within these rings, I will try to do the title as
much justice as remains in my soul for it and defend it as best I can so that the next who may wear it as truely earned it. I shall remain a Renegade for the remainder of my time as a Baron regardless of the politics of DoS, and duel only once per cycle to remain active until I loose my ring and title. I have given my Baronial ring to the Overlord Dalamar to hold until the next who wears the title for I feel not worthy to place such upon my finger. I can be contacted by messenger to my homeworld
where I shall be. I have only the obligation of ever coming to RhyDin again to fulfill my bare miminuim of being a Baron of Swords, and as such will only be on RhyDin to that end.

Bright Night with Fair Travels, with much luck with honor and skill to thy blades and thy Houses,
