Subject: [Elfsea] Steppes Warlord Memorial Day Weekend (05-25-2007
through05-28-2007) <br>
Date: Tue, 08 May 2007 19:00:13 -0500 <br>
<br>
Heilsa, <br>
<br>
I come before you on behalf of the Barony of the Steppes, in very short <br>
time, a gathering of the populous of this great Kingdom will meet and <br>
enter into a Tournament to determine the next Warlord of Steppes. A <br>
number of suggestions have be made on improving Warlord and perhaps you <br>
have read or heard some of those suggestions. There is not much that I <br>
can do in the majority of the areas, except within the confines of my <br>
office as the Steppes Knight Marshal - there will be MORE schedule <br>
Fighting this year at the Tournament. <br>
<br>
The intent of this missive is draw attention that there will be more <br>
schedule fighting at Warlord this year, yes I repeated myself. Because <br>
it is worth while to do so. The sole intent here is provide more <br>
opportunities with the Warlord Tournament to encompass all levels of <br>
fighters, the emphasis upon the lower rank fighters, i.e., those who are <br>
not a Knight or a Centurion or a Sable Talon. <br>
<br>
To reach that goal the following format was discussed and reached last <br>
year, 2006, and I fully agree and hope all of you do as well. There will <br>
be four (4) levels of fighting, which is based upon the various <br>
Chivalric fighting awards in this great <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">kingdom</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Ansteorra</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>.
<br>
The three (3) awards: <br>
Knighthood <br>
Centurion <br>
Sable Talon <br>
and the fourth (4th) level - everyone who does NOT hold any of the <br>
above. And will use the same rules as in the OP - the highest level will <br>
determine the minimum level that one can enter. <br>
<br>
Warlord - <br>
Level One (1) - the normal Warlord Tournament - everyone welcome to <br>
enter this level and fight to determine the next Warlord of Steppes. <br>
This will be a double elimination, just as it always have been. <br>
<br>
Preux Warrior of Steppes - <br>
Level Two (2) - Preux Warrior of Steppes for those of Centurion rank <br>
or lower. Everyone who holds the rank of Centurion or lower are <br>
welcome to enter. This level (2) will be single elimination. <br>
<br>
Valiant Warrior of Steppes - <br>
Level Three (3) - Valiant Warrior of the Steppes for those who hold <br>
Sable Talon or lower. Everyone who holds a Sable Talon <br>
or lower are welcome to enter. This level (3) will be single elimination. <br>
<br>
Pata Orior Warrior of Steppes - <br>
Level Four (4) - Pata Orior Warrior of Steppes. Non-rank. <br>
Everyone who have not received any of the above 3 fighting awards <br>
are welcome to enter. This level (4) will be single elimination. <br>
<br>
The minimum number of fights that a non-rank individual will experience <br>
is 5, instead of the normal 2 as in years past. <br>
<br>
The increase levels or numbers of opportunities to promote fighting has <br>
also increase the need for more good gentles to step forward assist in <br>
Marshaling this tournament. <br>
<br>
I am seeking volunteers to assist me in this effort to promote and <br>
increase Chivalric fighting in this great kingdom of ours. If you wish <br>
to assist in Marshaling, please reply. <br>
<br>
