Wesan ge, Elfsea folk, hal!


    I would like to make the suggestion perhaps the tournament associated 
with the fair be "holmgang" style, which is described on Mistress Gunnora's 
site.  Essentially, it was fought on square field (which I have read 
measurement interpretations from anywhere to 7x7 to 12x12) in which one has 
to stay or forfeit the bout.  It was also fought to the first wound (whereas 
"einvigi" was fought to the death and no such formalities).

Just my two cents worth,
Cyniric
