- Woe and lamentations on this, the fast of the Tenth Day of Tavet. Woe
- for the Temple that is no more! Yet, as we recall the mighty battles
- that our forefathers faught against the Babylonians and the Romans (cursed
- be their names!), Aryk discourses on a different battle.

- Come East, young man.
- Not that all entrants in the Eastrealm crown are sterling
- examples of chivalry, but I have observed the following, and
- heard several people from out of kingdom remark at various crowns
- over the years:
-
- 1) The Eastrealm crowns are generally very clean lists. The entrants
- fight honarably and with chivalry, showing respect and politness to their
- opponents.
-
- 2) The fighting itself is not pretty, and I have heard people from
- out of kingdom remark that the best of the Eastrealm would not be the
- best in various other kingdoms.
-
- Personally, so long is #1 is true, I prefer it to #2.
