Whispering Isles G.I.L. Report: Week 15 – Hogs, Twins, and The King
The "Royal Cartographer" has finalized the standings. This was the week the underdogs found their teeth and the basement teams proved they are no longer easy prey.
Feature Game: The Hog-Man’s Debut
Silverton Razorbacks (5-14) vs. Blackwood Ravens (4-13-1)
The Narrative: The Ravens expected a physical game, but they didn't expect the Orkie Porkie Thrower. This massive hog-man possessed a "Pig-Squeal" snap count that paralyzed the Ravens' defense, while his two Piglet Receivers used their Stunty and Dodge skills to slip through the "Talon-Kin" frontline.
The Anchor: Hog Chewer anchored the defense like a mountain of ham and iron. He neutralized the Ravens' Kestrel the Wind-Thief, forcing three turnovers. The Hog-Man then launched a 30-yard "Bacon-Bomb" to a Piglet in the endzone to seal the win.
Final Score: Razorbacks 14, Blackwood Ravens 7.
The Twin-Turbo Upset
Moon Elves (7-9) vs. Stone Goliaths (11-5)
The Narrative: The Goliaths marched in with The Mighty Zug, expecting to crush the elves. However, the Elves debuted the Swift Twins (Lucien and Valen).
The Play: Lucien Swift spent the game "harassing" the Goliaths' Anvil-Guards, using his Tackle skill to prevent them from locking down the Elven receivers. Meanwhile, Valen Swift sat in the pocket and launched a high-passing masterclass, moving the Elves to a stunning victory over a god-team.
Final Score: Moon Elves 21, Stone Goliaths 14.
Round-Robin Results: The 15-0 Stand-Off
Swan Knights (15-0) vs. Blackwood Ravens (Rescheduled/Scrimmage): The Sovereigns maintained their perfect record. The Cardinal-Hawk vertical game was too precise for the Ravens to intercept. Final: 35-7.
Bengali Water Tigers (15-0) vs. Mist Haven Mariners (Rescheduled): Since the Mariners were on their bye, the Tigers picked up their 15th win via a high-intensity scrimmage against the Azatar Tribe. Final: 24-14.
Shadowborne Specters (12-4) vs. Bluebonnet Volcanous Fire-Smokers (11-4): ELVIS STRIKES AGAIN. Count Luthor von Drakenborg ("The King") followed up his debut with another showstopper. The Smokers fell further into a slump as the Specters’ crowd roared them to victory. Final: 17-14.
Plague-Festered Armada (5-13-1) vs. Goat Tribe (3-16): The 7-6 nail-biter. The Goats' Akhorne almost pulled it off, but the Armada held the line by a single point. Final: 7-6.
Black Rock Spire Juggernauts (13-3) vs. Silverton Razorbacks (4-14): (Mid-week catch-up) The Juggernauts ended the hogs' earlier winning streak with an industrial-strength shutdown. Final: 28-0.
Official Week 15 Standings
| Rank | Team Name | Record | Status |
| 1-2 | Swan Knights | 15-0 | Sovereigns (Perfect) |
| 1-2 | Water Tigers | 15-0 | Tiger Force (Perfect) |
| 3 | Shadowborne Specters | 12-4 | Elvis Powered |

| 5 | Fire-Smokers | 11-4 | In a Slump |
| 6 | Stone Goliaths | 11-5 | Humbled by Twins |

| 8 | Moon Elves | 7-9 | Elite Rising |
| 9-14 | The Field | < 7 Wins | Volatile |
To keep the Royal Cartographer’s records in perfect order, we must log the absolute chaos at the bottom of the standings. Week 15 was the week of the "Great Hog-Man Ascension"—the week where the Silverton Razorbacks proved that a "Bacon-Bomb" and a solid defensive anchor could change the fate of a franchise.
Here is the state of The Field as the league prepares for the final three-week gauntlet.
The Field: Teams 8–14 (Post-Week 15)
| Rank | Team Name | Record | Status | The Week 15 Narrative |
| 8 | Moon Elves | 7-9 | Elite Rising | The "Twin-Turbo" effect. By toppling the Stone Goliaths, they have officially separated themselves from the basement pack. |
| 9 | Silverton Razorbacks | 5-14 | Hog Wild | Momentum: The "Orkie Porkie" era is here. With back-to-back wins, the hogs are the most dangerous 5-win team in the Isles. |
| 10 | Plague-Festered Armada | 5-13-1 | Biohazard | Old Man Durell’s 1-point victory over the Goats keeps the Armada moving up, though they are still shaking off the barnacles. |
| 11 | Blackwood Ravens | 4-13-1 | Faded Wings | Losing to the "Hog-Man" was a heavy blow. The Talon-Kin are struggling to adapt to the new, more brutal lower-tier meta. |
| 12 | Goat Tribe | 3-16 | Milk-Fogged | Heartbreak. Despite the efforts of Grashnak and the "Little Miracle" Akhorne, they fell by a single point. |
| 13 | Mist Haven Mariners | 2-16 | Resurfacing | Bye Victory: They moved up via the automatic win, but they remain the most vulnerable team in the league. |
| 14 | Durell Rotters | (N/A) | Extinct | The team is officially defunct, replaced entirely by the Plague-Festered Armada. |
