Although very few from participating guilds were present at the close

of the Tournament I feel it apt to announce the dominance of one guild

above all others in the land. The Paladins, lead strongly by Orinoko,

took charge of the battlefield from the very first day. They commanded

a convincing lead in but a few days and used both strength of numbers

and an intelligent eye for preserving their own lives in battle.

Added to my praise in the manner with which they earned their claim to

the promised prize I also bring your attention to the spirit the

Tournament intended to bring out in guilds and their members. The

Paladins did not disappoint me on this issue either. May the

sense of a united guild which was exhibited in this Tournament carry

them to further success in the future.

The Sceptre's influence will now be felt by all who oppose its

champions. They must now honour its power as its protectors.
