And the winner is-
Matthias!
Matthias has been declared Best Wielder of Martin’s Sword That Is Not Martin! I am not surprised by this outcome but I am surprised Tam made it all the way to the finals.
Unfortunately I’m getting busy and I’m traveling home for Christmas, voting the next poll is going to have to wait until after the new year.
