<div>Good gentles all,</div>
<div> The last team to win the Iron Star consisted of His Excellency Jean Fernald de Savigny, Companion to the Order of the Dragon's Steel of Drachenwald, His Excellency Don Aubrey de Baudricourt, His Excellency Don Jeremey James Scurlock, Don Connor MacGillivray, Companion to the Order of the Golden Rapier of the East and another member of the Dragon's Steel whose name I, unfortunately, did not catch.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> At Bjornsborg Academy of Defense, His Excellency Jean Fernald addressed the populace. He stated that this most excellent team would most likely never be able to re-form. Because of this, His Excellency relinquished the Iron Star to me so that I may host another tournament for the Iron Star.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> At Elfsea Defender, after the Baronial championships have been decided, another tournament for the Iron Star will be held. Come vie for this chance to be a part of the grand history that is Ansteorran rapier! The format of the tournament will be dependent upon the number of teams present.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> A reminder on some of the rules for Iron Star:</div>
<div>Teams must consist of 3 to 5 members</div>
<div>Teams may have no more than 2 White Scarves</div>
<div>At least 3 members of the original victorious team must be present in order to defend the Iron Star</div>
<div> </div>

<div> Many thanks to the previous holders of the Iron Star who most graciously relinquished the Iron Star when they could not defend it and ensured that the tradition continued. Huzzah!</div>
