Kingdom with gemstones for prizes.
The first event is in Bhakail next weekend so if you are near, read on!

Some have read about my gaming competitions, but now the first of 
those tournaments is only a week away!!!

Saturday, Dec 11th at Bhakail's Yule Event, in the Southern Region of 
the East Kingdom.

I will hold a class teaching the game "Nine Men's Morris", after 
which I will randomly choose up to twenty to compete.

The winner will receive a 22.65 ct. Flawless  Octagon Sky Blue Quartz.

This is the first of four competitions with the additional three being:

           The last tournament will be built out of the first three 
and will feature three rounds of play.  Each round will be one of the 
above mentioned
