Grand Tournament

Posted on February 23, 2003 in Uncategorized

Day 130, Year 549

The Grand Tournament was held in the Arena today, as the first part of the Sylvan Spring Festival. Unfortunately, I was stuck in the library for most of the contest, but I did manage to make it to the last few events.

The Tournament consisted of three main events: the Grand Melee(free for
all), the Pair Combat(2 vs 2), and the Squire challenge(1 on 1 combat
for those below Lord status).

The first contest, the Grand Melee, was a contest of the dorfs.
After only a few minutes of fighting, there remained only 4 fighters
out of the more than 20 original combatants: Charlos, Haze, Gorvin, and Torin. After the dust had settled, Gorvin remained the last one standing.

Gorvin went on to win another event when he teamed up with Haze to defeat Klur and Reye in the Pair Combat competition. And in the Squire’s Challenge, Manquilor defeated Aia in the final round of fighting.

Overall the Tournament was a great success, and I’d like to thank the
more than 50 exiles who took part as either spectators or combatants.
We still have a number of events coming up, including the Feast Hunt, Dancing Lessons, and the Floral Ball, so please come and celebrate the Spring season with us! For dates and times, check out the Spring Festival Scroll.

Spring Festival!
