Tournament Information

Heavy Tournament

Snow Moon Tourney

All Assembled, witness the grand possibilities of the Moonlight Inspirational Tournament (Heavy).

Upon an open field, under the light of the winter moon, the populace gathers to revel and seek the Knight of the Moon Festival. Witness great deeds, and see warriors commit wonders they never dreamed of, as they are inspired to fight, challenge, overcome self-wrought limitations, and become more than they thought they might be.

This is a tourney to be fought on the behalf of the consorts present. Do not think to limit thyself to one consort, one warrior, or just one style. Upon an open field, the consorts offer challenges to whomever they please. Warriors are free to accept (or deny, if you’re not brave enough) challenges, and if the one they are inspired by wins the bout, they receive a ribbon from the defeated. Each warrior can fight for only one consort at a time – all warriors engaged on the field must be fighting for a consort in each fight. The fighting shall continue until all parties have had enough fun.

Perhaps your inspiration wishes you to lose, by asking you to fight against great odds?  Or, perhaps to win, by fighting against great odds? Want to see a dagger fight? Single sword? Greatsword against a Duke who fights one-handed?  It’s whatever the consorts desire. Whichever consort gains the most ribbons becomes the celebrated Moonlight Inspiration, to feast with the warrior of their choosing in a position of honor that evening, sharing their inspiration with the Moonlight Revelers. Upon the Baron and Baroness’ word, they will open the feast with a toast of their choosing – a worthy position, for a most worthy Moonlight Inspiration.
