And
> even though many of the valiant warriors of our fair Kingdom must heed the
> call to war, a stand must also be made to protect the wholesome lands
within
> our vast borders. Sharpen thy blades and ready thine armor, for even
though
> the mass of the noble forces of our realm travel north to meet the call to
> battle, the many remaining must also prepare for the possibility of the
> battles reaching even to our very homes.
>
> For the armored warriors.
> Two tourneys will be held that the peoples of these lands may test and
hone
> their skills and abilities. The first of which will be, as in the
traditions
> of the past, an odd weapons list. In which only weapons that do not fit
into
> the normal categories (weapon/shield, great sword ect.) yet meets the
> marshal's tests will be permitted on the field. The second list will be
open
> to any weapons form that is not weapon/shield. Both lists will be double
> elimination.

> For the Quick of blade.
> Unto the noble Scholars of Atlantia is this test of ability proposed.
There
> will be a Swiss Five Tournament to test both your skill and endurance!

> round will be best two out of three, but make sure to sharpen your wit
along
> with your weapons in preparation for the days games, as your clever mind
may

>
> For the artisans.
> Without the inspiration of the arts surely the arms of our skilled
> combatants would not find the strength to raise their swords. So that we
all
> may bask in the knowledge and abilities of friend and neighbor, three

abilities
> of craftsmanship, to create an object from the natural materials of wood,
> metal, leather or fiber. The second competition will be a test of the
