[MR] War of the Wings Torchlight Tourney - A Challenge to All

[Donald Wagner]

Greetings all and God's rich peace fall upon you.

It has reached us that on October 20, 2006, at War of the Wings, a minor 
scuffle between the noble Barony of Windmasters' Hill and the noble 
Barony of Sacred Stone, a torchlight benefit tourney will be held.  The 
proceeds are being earmarked for breast cancer research.

Who hasn't been touched in some way by this malady?  My family has been 
threatened by it.  My friend Geva de Lisle won her fight by fighting 
until the end with great courage and sacrifice.  This within the last 
year, God rest her merry soul and God soothe all our souls for her loss. 
  The list of others is so long as to bring most of us to tears for 
their loss or their struggle.

We will be in Spain on a belated honeymoon at the time and cannot 
attend.  Still, my lady wife Magdalena and I cannot let this tourney 
occur without our own participation in some other way.  We therefore 
choose to participate in the following manner: We will match the $2 
entry fee for each fighter who enters the torchlight Tourney and 
challenge all who read this missive to do the same, or in some other 
manner.  Come one and all to the fight.  Break our purse, if you will.

His Grace, the Duke Ebonwoulfe, is coordinating this tourney and will 
help those who cannot attend participate in this manner by posting the 
number of entrants and an address where we may fulfill our obligation. 
I encourage all who will to publicly accept our challenge and encourage 
others to do so, that those who strive that evening may know the worth 
of their struggle.

Could it happen, that in our lifetimes, this scourge of the beautiful 
would be cast into the void?
