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 nàCheÃÂrin
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,
