<DIV><BR></DIV>Greetings Dragonsfire Tor!<BR><BR>I just wanted to convey
wordfame for Lord Logathar's amazing performance at<BR>the first Ansteorran
Barrier Battle Ultimate Fighting Championship at Gothic<BR>War. For those who
missed this incredible spectactle, I must say that never<BR>before, in all my
time within the SCA, have I witnessed a more amazing<BR>tournament. The
courage, brutality, adrenalin, spectator excitment with<BR>their deafening
roars, weeping women, people out of their seats, men<BR>cheering non-stop and
wide-eyed looks on even the most seasoned veterans was<BR>simply astounding. I
myself was transported to another place, befitting our<BR>King's roman reign,
where I witnessed first hand the alure of the gladiator<BR>games of old.
Combatants placed a hand on the barrier with their weapons at<BR>the ready.
King Quintus Aurelius Dracontius himself marshalled the bouts and<BR>made
rulings on disqualifications. If your hand came off the barrier,<BR>purposely
or accidentally, you were out. If you struck your opponent's arm<BR>(that
grasped the barrier) too many times, you were done. If the King felt<BR>you
were done, you were done. 22 men and women fought at the barrier.
Many<BR>legendary fighters fought this tourney. Sir Kief av Kiersted fighting
Sir<BR>Jean Paul de Sans. Jarl Timo facing off with the wall they called Lord
Roc.<BR>Centurian (soon to be Sir) Owen, Centurian Ishfael who won the final
round,<BR>and many others, all exceptional fighters. Many, many spectacular
fights and<BR>testaments of endurance, stubborness and shear berserker
ferocity. The<BR>double elimination format tested the fighters to the limit.
After several<BR>bouts, I congratulated Sir Kief as he was eliminated. I
congratulated Lord<BR>Daire de Haiya, Sir Jean Paul, Jarl Timo, Centurion
Owen, Sir Max and more.<BR>And yet ....... there was Lord Logathar still
battling on, still in the<BR>list. He took the name of Dragonsfire Tor into
the quarter finals of this<BR>tournament that you will no doubt here of for
many moons to come. Know ye<BR>one and all that one such as this walks in your
midst. Be proud Dragonsfire<BR>Tor, and when next your path may cross that of
Lord Logathar, take a moment<BR>to pay some respect and give thanks (and
perhaps some pain killers), for he<BR>is a worthy protector of your canton and
has represented you incredibly<BR>well. Congratulations Lord Logathar, you
have my sincere respect, admiration<BR>and thanks. These words do not do
justice to those who fought, it was simply<BR>spectacular.<BR><BR>So say
I,<BR>Baron Armand Dragonetti<BR>Lord Dragonsfire
