To the Baron's Council,

May I ask you to consider possibly stripping Baroness Ariadne of her title and then making Magnus face a champion decided by the Baron's Council for the right to wear such the baron ring in question. It has been something done before when a holder of a title has been declared in forfeit of their title, but whereas the challenger was able to continue to proceed in their quest to attain the title, via a champion I would perfer. It is clear that
Ariadne does not deserve to continue to maintain her title considering this event, coupled with past events in her reign, though Magnus should not be denied his goals of attaining said title, and has as well shown himself to be a much more worthy holder of said titles. It shouldn't be given to him outright, for everyone should have to fight to gain a title, but it is clear that Ariadne does not deserve the right to continue to defend the right for
someone else to hold the Baron's ring she now bears.

Community,

I was never contacted in any way by the Baroness, Ariadne. Despite what Drake seems to assume, no letter was written to me, nor did I lose any letter.
I was going to go on and duel this one, but only because I am confident that I could beat Ariadne easily. However, I suppose removing a Loyal by forfiet is still removing a Loyal. Therefore, I have decided to send this matter to the council in hopes that they will strip the Baroness of her ring. I suppose this will put me up against a champion, most likely one that is a better dueler than Ariadne, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make in
this situation. I don't like her, and I want to see her off the council. I will not permit another invalid challenge to go through when it concerns me.

Drake,

Again you try to abuse your powers as Standings Keeper. You let your opinions conflict with your job, and therefore you take sides on every matter handed to the council. I know you don't like me, but it really seems unfair that you would assume this all to be some fault on my part. I hope you will be true to your word and let Lupton take over, because as it stands now, even Damien Mortis would do a better job than you.

Magnus.

Once again, you are in error.

I made no ruling on this matter, none at all. I specifically requested that the Assistant Supervisor or the Supervisor make a ruling on this matter, as it was obvious to everyone that the Letter of the Rules conflicted with the established precidents.
I have no reason to like or dislike you. My issues were with Cletus Ganderfald, and those issues were tabled permenantly when we crossed blades in my challenge to him.
As is called for by the Code of the Blade, any matter which calls for a Duel of Honor must be closed and set aside forever once that duel is complete.
Any antipathy you may perceive from me does not exist on my part. Rest assured, should I have a reason to dislike you, you would be informed of it strait away.

This is amazing.

How could sending a letter to the single most important person slip your mind?

How pathetic.

When this reaches the council, you can be sure I'll vote to strip Baroness Angeles of her title.

Ugh.
