And so, the Outlander had genuinely attained the title of "1853 Big City Player: King of Roder Card" on this autumn night, after experiencing a splendid card game.
After the game ended, the formal award ceremony was conducted as per the procedure. Reflecting on the event later, Shard barely remembered how many people he had shaken hands with; he only remembered people cheering and clapping for him, holding the golden trophy inscribed with "1853 Big City Player: King of Roder Card" and shaking hands with the vice president of the Prophet's Society, then receiving a 3000-pound bank draft and that special rule Roder card, "Big City Player: 1853 Tobesk Champion."
Other rewards sponsored by local clubs and shops required Shard to visit the association within a week to sign some documents to claim them. As for the trophy, Shard planned to place it in his living room for every visitor and client to see.
