The City vs City CTF culminating the Year 450 celebrations has
concluded! With the city of Shallam as their allies, Cyrene held a lead
for most of the two Achaean days the CTF lasted, with Ashtan merely a
nose behind throughout. In the last quarter of the CTF, Ashtan managed
to gain and hold a slender lead, partially due to aid from Eleusians,
and also thanks to the astonishing flag-finding prowess of the Year 450
Champion and Ashtani, Jaizsur Ta'sa. The Garden watched with bated
breath as what seemed like certain victory for Ashtan faded tragically
to a dream in the last few minutes, as Cyrene managed to regain their
lead and emerge the victor! The Effigy of Victory, last held by Shallam,
has been presented to Cyrene, along with a free Party Duels addition to
Cyrene's arena. Congratulations to Cyrene!

As a sidenote, all cities now have the option to add Party Duels to
their arenas for the price of 3.5 million gold. City leaders, please
contact me directly via a message if you wish to purchase this.

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Daedalan, in the year 451 AF.
