Hear ye! It has been decided that no one person may have more than one nation of theirs in the region at a time. In trying to bring life back to this region, it is not fitting that this region should be made into a puppet storage. Also, when the tournaments are held, the presence of puppets becomes confusing for matters of fairness. Therefore, the puppet nations have been expelled forthwith, but the primary nations, that is, one nation per person in the region, are welcome to stay. - Sergius Adolfus, King of the Langobards and Warden of the Realm. |
Under light rain, common for this time of year, the tournament continues... Our armor and horse masters accompanied by squires from each competing Kingdom, have assembled and prepared today's' jousting event. Jousting is a competitive sport between armored Knights using a large lance to charge at each other at high speed. The Joust ended when one knight was unseated by highest 0-6 score. In the event of neither being unseated, both riders dismount and sword combat continues by highest 0-6 score until there is a victor. 0 is a miss wherefore low counts are counted as damage to extremities and high counts determine unseating and damage to torso. The trials by Joust will commence on the meadow. Participants will gather there and prepare for the event shortly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shire Reeve Dietrich attends as Judge of the Joust.
