The Iron Spider of Harradon paid a visit to the Arkenstone Arena and had his way with the Rakash, known as the Knife. All in all though, Arkenstone had one of the more civilized moons of combat. Points Total 4 Felnar Nickname Shadowdancer the spider The Broken Blade The Shrouded Race Grue Elf Nation Felnar Opponent Broken Bladed Rakash Rakash Human Felnar Harradon Arkenstone The Shrouded Shadow Dancer The spider Points Total 4 6 2 2 In Felnar, blood feuds ruled the day, as the Rakash known as the Broken Blade, declared a feud with the Grue Elf Shadowdancer over some percieved insult. In the end, Shadowdancer prevailed, but disgraced the unconcious body of the Broken Blade for all to see, causing more tension between these two fighters and prompting an official recrimation from Harradon itself. Harradon Nickname Gerik Of Kandor Race Black Warg Nation Sardon Opponent The Dirge The General Dwarf Felnar Shadow Dancer 6 Shadowdancer Rakash Harradon The General 2 the Dirge Grue Elf Harradon Gerik of Kandor 2 Gerik of Kandor spared no measures to introduce himself to The Dirge, a Grue Elf from Harradon's team when they met in the Arena. Gerik dismantled the elf in short order, toying with him as he maimed limb after limb until the Dirge was too helpless and dazed to even surrender and then finishing him off by smashing his skull before the arena teams could end the fight. While healed, the Dirge is not expected to be able to continue the tournament due to severe trauma. Points Total 6 PURK Nickname Race Nation Opponent The Bull of Fury The Tempest Thumper Son of the River Human Dwarf Dwarf Warg Purk Purk Purk Felnar Son of River T31 T32 Bull of Fury 6 6 4 4 The T3s Rakash Sardon Tempest 2 The T3s Rakash Sardon Thumper 2 Son of the River came to Purk for a fight and he got that and more as he faced the collussus, Bull of Fury. The Son of River was technically proficient and entered the fight with a winning strategy, but then couldn’t seem to cause the Bull enough pain to make his strategy work. He was seen striking blows that should have crippled an elephant, but the Bull shrugged them all off and returned them tenfold to the Son of River. The Purk Dwarves, Tempest and Thumper, also made short work of the twins from Sarden who apparently thought their fortunes would improve with travel. They didn't. Points Total SARDEN Nickname Race Nation Opponent Hammer of Sardon The Giant The Hart The Wolf Preacher The Furrier The Hound Thunderstrike Human Human Human Grue Elf Famori Human Dwarf Human Sardon Sardon Sardon Arkenstone Purk Harradon Purk Arkenstone Thurnderstrike The Furrier The Hound Preacher The Wolf The Giant The Hart Hammer of Sardon The controversy over the T3 Twins continues in Sarden, despite some of the best matches ever seen in the arena. This moon, saw the great rematch of two of the giants in this league, The Hammer of Sarden and Thunderstrike. These two rivals battled for almost an hour before the Hammer was able to penetrate the defenses of Thunderstrike with a blow of sufficient force to end the fight. This moon saw the defeat of the fierce dwarf from Purk, the Hound, by none other than the Hart, a crowd favorite in Sardon. The Wolf of Arkenstone and the Giant saw victories this day as well.
