Calontir Coronation Tourney/Pas

[Alcyoneus]

A Coronation Passage of Arms

Unto all those who profess a love of the arts of arms and the
advancement
of the ideals of Chivalry, are sent these words from Vaclav Semjaka,
Prince
of Calontir and Heir to Falcon Crown.

As was the manner of our ancestors, We seek to advance the cause of
Chivalry, and by Action of Arms to demonstrate Our Faithfulness and
Love,
both for Our fairest Lady, her Highness Xorazne, and truly for all the
people of Calontir. To that end, and to ennoble by this great exercise
all
those who would answer this declaration, We declare and issue the
following
Challenge:

On the 25th day of March, after that hour in which We ascend the Calon
Throne, a Passage of Arms shall be held to advance Our most noble
causes.

We hereby challenge and charge all who would answe to assemble on Our
tournament fields, accoutered in the usual way, but with exceptional
splendor and heraldic panoply.

We will then, upon the field of honor, become known to one another
through
words, that we might soon be better acquainted by the sword, in the
manner
of the Grand Tournaments of old. Know that all combat is to be
contested
solely for honor and renown, rather than for the base spirit of
victory, and
with weapons of peace, using only those weapons which were used in
Tournament by Our glorious ancestors.

Further, as is truly fitting, reward and renown will be bestowed for
those
excelling upon the field by their appearance, by their manner, and
through
great feats of arms.

We beseech all who hear these words to never imagine that We do this
thing
from pride or presumption, but for the Honor of Our lady, and for the
Love
of Our people, and for the Glories of Chivalry.

Vaclac Semjaka, Prince and Heir
