Grand Zento Tournament! (Tuesday 1st March)
"...Upon the final day of the month, the High Council wisely concluded that in order to settle the disputes between those who claim themselves above others; would be to match their skills within an arena. And so the Daimyo declared that his village be open to all those who wish to participate in the tournament. Honour, glory, fame and riches would be bestowed upon those who truelly deserve." - An extract from the tome of Kotodama lore
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Town of Zento, upon the 1st of March, will be open to all those who wish to compete in the 'Great Zento Tournament' in the name of his Lordship, Honzu Kotoawa.
Over the next few weeks, villagers and promoters of the Tournament will be passing out leaflets and pinning advertisements to buildings and trees, so that all will be aware of it's coming. Members of any clan, guild and family are welcomed to participate, however, the event will be watched over by the Kotodama's military and those who create trouble will be dealt with sternly.
Those who wish to participate, may do so by simply arriving at the Zento where they will be taken to the arena. Those who wish to spectate, may do so as well by simply arriving and taking a seat.
