Denizens of the Arena,

After a long absence, it is my pleasure (and your honor) to return once more to these rings of blood and honor.

I will be taking up once more my rank and title, and shall assume that whatever persons of skill remain in these environs shall make themselves available for the use of my blade.

Cordially,
Arithon Falessen
Lord of House Falessen
High Ward of Harthanore
Regent of the Royal Academy of the Arts
52nd Overlord of the Duels of Sword

[King]

Guess I should give props to my elders. Welcome back.

Congratulations on not being dead. I'm sure plenty of people will appreciate having an old new body to stab.

Greetings Lord Arithon,

How pleasant it is to have the possibility of a new (old) adversary grace the Arena floor once more! Perhaps you will present a challenge if your blade has not gone to rust. Five others have tried to take my crown but have been unsuccessful.

Maybe you'll get lucky.

Looking forward to having you meet me!

xoxo

Hello Lord Arithon!

Sorry for the delay in welcoming you back.

I am Sabine Gabrielle and hold the Battlefield Park Barony. I am also known as the little murderdoll around these parts. I have anger problems. Did. Do. I'm working them out. I also overshare. But only my own information, nobody elses. I'm a good secret keeper. When they are not my own. Except that time I hid the fact that I was married for six months from all of my friends.

That's a lot of information.

I was like seven when you last held a title here, I think. I wasn't around these parts then anyway but I did look over your record. It's pretty awesome to welcome back an old timer. Not that you're old. Well you kind of are but not like old old. I mean old in Rhydin can be like 3,000. That's old. You're like in that hot/old kind of grey area like Tom Selleck. I saw him in a movie once. You know like if you and I hooked up, people would high five you but think I have daddy issues? That kind of hot old.

Anyway. Welcome back! I look forward to meeting you in the rings at some point.
