Day 286, Year 547

Today a Dun’ilsar competition was held between E’las Loth’mon Ferindril and clan Dwarven Millitia.
The challenge was a rescue– one member from each clan would fall in
the Darshak Horde, and the rest of their clanmates had to race to their
rescue from the Meadow. The exiles who fell would then have to race to
the Meadow, with the first one back being declared the victor.

The turnout from both clans was about even, with 6 competitors
from clan ELF and 7 from DM. As it happened, I was chosen as the faller
for clan ELF, and DM chose the dwarven fighter Shard. Shard and I
headed to Ash Island together to fall in the Darshak Horde, and the
competition was begun.

In the Horde, I was a slight advantage because I managed to
fall a few spans north of Shard. However, ELF had some trouble
maneuvering in the Horde, and as a result, DM managed to get their
fallen up first. ELF managed to get me up soon afterward, but by then I
was 20 seconds behind Shard.

The two of us raced from Ash Island to our destination, the
Meadow, with the support of our clanmates who either helped heal us, or
tried to hinder the opposing team’s racer. I managed to close the gap
between myself in Shard(most likely because of my longer legs and my
training as a mystic), but failed to take the quickest route to the
Meadow from the East Forest, which cost us the race. Shard beat me to
the meadow by 7 whole seconds.

Afterwards, our two clans got together for a short celebration
in the Meadow and the Arena. Although ELF managed to lose this
Dun’ilsar, it was a lot of fun and an exciting race. Tav’riel
ferindril! For the Glory of all Clans! (View a Vision Stone of the race)
