|               Defense Tip #1- By Dinkirus Vick                 |
| I am a member of the Bard Guild and one of the skills that we  |
| bards possess, is the ability to disarm an opponent. Disarming |
| An opponent will potentially leave them weaponless, scrambling |
| for their weapon while you dish out more damage. Many guilds   |
| have the ability in one form or another as it is a great way to|
| turn the tide of a battle in your favor. I find that there are |
| two ways to actually go about disarming your opponent. The     |
| first is what I call a soft disarm. It involves using your own |
| weapon or hands to throw or smack away your opponents weapon.  |
| It will be more successful if you are very skilled with the    |
| weapon that you are using. The second form of disarming that I |
| use is called the close disarm. This form actually involves you|
| getting close to your opponent and prying the weapon from their|
| hands. The close disarm is quite dangerous and should only be  |
| used when it must be. Either way that you choose, disarming is |
| still a very important combat skill.                           |
|                                                                |
|            Interest Piece- Tribunal Eliana Fariam              |
| Eliana Fariam, the Holy Matriarch of Healing, is an official of|
| Tribunal. She is actually quite a nice sight to look at having |
| dark-black hair and deep blue eyes. Her pale skin glows quite  |
| radiantly giving this reporter a serene feeling. I caught up   |
| with this defender of life in Val Miran and we met up at my own|
| guild to discuss a bit of her life. Her main goal in life is a |
| very noble one, wishing only to protect the citizen that live  |
| around her. This was probably due to her upbringing as her     |
| parents brought her up to obey and respect the law. She will   |
| seek out the Council of Tribunal when she is able, which is one|
| goal she beleives will help bring criminals to justice. In her |
| spare time she enjoys reading and sampling fine Elven vintage  |
| wines. This entire career, from being involved in the healer   |
| guild to joining Tribunal, she belives is due to the time when |
| Watcher almost sacked Val Miran. After this destruction and    |
| chaos, she knew that she was born to serve and protect citizens|
| of Aabahran. -Written by Dinkirus Vick                         |
