The Next Page
The last unbeaten House has fallen. Diamond leads Baron alone, Dolos has drawn level with Stroud in Imperial, and Flaming Dragon has supplied the week’s loudest reply. Four games have made the Realm more crowded, not settled it.
Week 5 opens the bye weeks. On the bye calendar, the season begins and ends with full rosters; between those bookends, every House’s depth will be tested. Stars can carry a House at full strength, but reaching the playoff contests will take answers from the rest of the roster while starters are off. Those who cannot weather the absences may find themselves outside the postseason gates.
