Redcliff Lord

Biography

Defense of the Redcliff title

The Redcliff Lord noticed Linley's hundred arena victories and considered recruiting him, but Linley instead challenged for his position to gain entry to the Planar Battlefield. Before more than a hundred million spectators, the incumbent revealed a transformation, adapted his gravitational field against Blackstone Space, and fought Linley with fist and knife. He survived the defeat and surrendered the title under Tartarus custom, making Linley the next Redcliff Lord. (Chapters 655–662)
