A Grand Test: The Baronship Tournament!Hosted in the town of Cove itself!As a part of my "Baron's Loyalty" trial set to me by Eason, I will be hosting a grand tournament in Cove. And this tournament is not only for Covians!
We encourage our allies to participate! This tournament will consist of not only one, nor two, but even three different contests each with their respective Champions:
1. A standard melee/archers duel. this one will be pretty straightforward, and the rules look very similiar to the armsmaster tournament rules.
They are in fact the same rules, albeit with one exception, to the rules made by Dragoon Corporal Joey Lanai. The winner be announced as the
Armsmaster of the North.
Rules and Questions and Answers
What is the Northern Tournament?
Its a chance to prove your worth among the free people of the North, each man or woman is up with a suit of armour and a weapon of their choice and use this to compete in what may be a one-time event!
When is the Northern Tournament held?
The Tournament will take place on a Sunday the 19th February. If this turns out to be a success we might agree to host it again.
How does it work?
As i said, each participant will be given a suit of armour and weapon and their names entered and then they will be drawn out of a hat on the day and pitted against eachother in armed combat. The winner advances into the next round, and the tournament is a sort of knock out contest.
Who can take part?
Any free citizen of the North can take part in the Tournament, thats right, not just the regular army!
Wow ! So what do I win?
You win the respect of all your free comrades of the North and your name will be noted down and named as Champion of the Northern Forces.
