Last Call for the Tournament of Roses

Posted by Edain on 08/11/17
The Tournament of Roses is in full swing and the jousting finals and the Grand Melee are quickly upon us! The Finals of the Joust will be where you can witness amazing feats of horsemanship and martial prowess. And the Grand Melee will be your chance to watch the best fighters in Arvum square off in essential a mock battle. It's going to be quite a thing.

A quick note on the Grand Melee, i would ask that you bring personal arms and armor of no higher grade than rubicund and redsteel, or if you favor lighter armor the more exotic leathers. Armor of a higher grade is so exorbitantly expensive, it is not exactly sporting. While weapons of such steels, have to great a risk to cause unintentional injury since once sharpened they are nearly impossible to blunt and rebate for use in combat for love, lest you are willing to completely ruin the blade. Remember you will be separated into two teams to fight in the Grand Melee, meaning fighting together, and fighting smart will yield far greater results than the shininess of your sword ever will.

So let this be the final call for those that would wish to participate in this grand event, to Celebrate our King's rejuvenated health, his long rule, and to honor the love and fidelity that Limerance always inspires us too! I'll be setting the lists soon so if you still wish to participate contact me as soon as your messenger can carry your note to me. And those of you not participating, don't forget to give your favor to the your favorite competitor!
