I have been given authority to speak on behalf of the Dark and Honorable
Mistress, Lady Kylari Innaya. Sir Noon, once again it gives me great
regret to see the choices you make in this realm. This time, it is your
selection of words that dishearten me, as well as your reaction to
pressure. I was unaware that the Paladins, whom I've always held in high
respect due to their honorable nature, considered name-calling and
juvenile insults to be acceptable behavior, especially for the Champion
of Towers. Such an honorable tongue can only be matched by the fact that
you failed to show up at the duel YOU requested. Half a day before the
decided time, you vanished, and did not return for over four days. The
Infernal Knights, who waited for your return, did not claim a victory.
Instead, the Noble Mistress of the Iron Citadel, after exhausting her
efforts to grant your request for honorable combat, was simply
disinclined to waste the time of her Knights again.

Nevertheless, by some extreme amount of patience that I will never begin
to understand, our own Champion, the highly esteemed Lord Inaeternum
Diesirae, remained eager to grant your request. And, judging by the
trophy we have piked at our Iron gates, I suspect his insatiable
bloodlust was quenched, if only for a moment, by your defeat. And so,
you received the duel you so fervently desired, and we earned the
centerpiece we so rightfully deserve. Let us now part ways respectfully
and consider the matter resolved.

May Strength, Honor, and Darkness embrace you.

Lord Keldrad Duses
