Drachenwald's Crown Tournament

[Alexander]

Salut!

From the Kingdom Herald, the results of the Drachenwald Crown Tournament held last weekend -

- This event took place in the splendid Hohenberg an der Eger, a
former castle and gatehouse, now converted to a youth hostel and
training centre. The tourney field was within the enclosure of
the castle walls.

The final field included eleven combatants, as follows:

Jarl Sven Gunnarsson
Countess Thora Asbiornsdottir

Count Marcus Eisenwald
Countess Aurelia von Falkenstein

Vicomte Michael die Zauberzunge Ritter von Essen
Baroness Moira O'Mordroe

Master Johan Magnusson Kivisuo
Mistress Jaelle of Armida

Master Rhys Terafan Greydragon
Lady Dubheasa ní Cheírin

Sir Cadogan map Cado
Maestra Eufemia Serafina da Bergamo

Lord Robert of Canterbury
Hon. Lady Genevieve La Flechiere

Arglwydd Alan Myfyrgar
Fru Elsa Pedersdotter

Lord Vitus Polonius
Lady Eleanora von Ratzeburg

Lord Freiman the Minstrel
Lady Esmeralda

Risteárd Ruadh MacLeóid, Tiarna
Lady Alessandra Lucia della Robbia

Herr Arnulf der Zeilner
Herrin Anna von Silvenhain

Drachenwald Crown is traditionally a round robin tournament,
giving all fighters a chance to fight everyone else entered.

After the initial round robin, the top four fighters progressed
to a second round robin. Both these rounds were decided by
single bouts.

The final two fighters fought a best two of three to determine a
winner.

In this tournament, their Majesties declared that double kills
would count as double losses, with no bouts refought.

Master Terafan, regrettably, was not able to confirm his future
plans before this tournament, and could not guarantee that he
could fulfill his duties, if he won.

Nevertheless, their Majesties decided they preferred to have him
and his lady entered in the tournament. Thus Master Terafan
fought as a destructive bye fighter; he could not enter the
finals, but his opponents would count their wins and losses
against him.

The first large round-robin was fought in two lists, making for
a brisk tournament. The chilly and wet conditions of the past
week made the two lists very muddy and slippery, and all the
fighters were testing their footing very carefully.

After the initial round, the top four fighters were

Jarl Sven Gunnarsson
Vicomte Michael die Zauberzunge Ritter von Essen
Sir Cadogan map Cado
Arglwydd Alan Myfyrgar

From these semifinalists, Jarl Sven and Sir Cadogan emerged as
finalists. These finalists were were well received by the
populace, and a victory for either would be most welcome.

Jarl Sven is known as a knight of Nordmark and has reigned once
before with his lady Countess Thora. He had also come second in
the previous Crown tournament (won by His Majesty Padraig).

Sir Cadogan and Mistress Eufemia arrived in Drachenwald last
year from AEtenveldt and thus were less well known. But even on
short acquaintance they made friends at this event, with their
personal warmth and pleasant company.

Before every bout, Sir Cadogan presented his own lady, and the
lady of his opponent with a flower, to thank them both for
serving as inspiriation for the fight.

Sir Cadogan won two decisive and clean bouts in a row, and the
populace cheered warmly to hear him named as winner and heir to
the Crown.

Respectfully submitted,

All,

What my friend has forgotten to point out is that His Royal Highness Cadogan is an archive member.

His screen name is conveniently enough "Cadogan"
