[MR] Vespers bouts Friday night at Ymir

[Jen Thies]

In the high middle ages, on the eve of tournament, it was custom for
unbelted fighters to hold contest, accepting challenges from all fighters of
any rank who would take the field against them to prove their skills
martial.

In the tradition of these vesper bouts, Their Royal Majesties, Ragnarr
Blackhammer and Anneke Raudhe have charged Master Roland de Mounteney to
hold the field Friday night before the Ymir tournament, to spar against all
comers and prepare himself to hold vigil through the night to receive
counsel from the most noble Order of Chivalry.

All are invited to offer combat and counsel and to enjoy hospitality
throughout the evening.  The challenges will take place on the tournament
field beginning approximately 9 pm, following the final court of Their
Excellencies Geoffrey and Maddalena.  All who wish to fight are reminded to
bring their authorization and membership cards to check in with the list
officers who will also sign you in for the tournament the following day.
