NR - NR Warlord

[Chris Backus]

We had a rapier war practice at Northern Regional Tribute last year, requested by the Queen as part of a series of melee practices we held.  The turned out to be unneccessary (it might have been a more gentle stomping if we hadn't practiced so hard), but was much fun.

A Northern Regional Rapier Warlord was somewhat useless last year, because the Queen decided who would lead the different units in the rapier war point melees.  I don't know about other years.

    Does this event break even?
     
    Our purpose is to select a Warlord and a Rapier Warlord (I'd like to find another name for this). Do any of the other activities relate to Gulf Wars? Neither of these posts have yet become something that a lot of people are striving for.
     
    Perhaps we could do this better by selecting these at NR Tribute, particularly with the intense war training efforts we now do at that event. This would give the standing Warlord a lieutenant for the War, and month to train his/her replacement.

  This idea has come up before and it is impractical to try and choose a Warlord at Tribute as it traditionally serves as the Kingdom's last major War College before Gulf Wars.  I know that last year Don Donovan was trying to get a rapier war college going.  Also the original idea of Tribute was as a fund raiser for the Kingdom.  It would be very hard to continue all of these and add the championships at the same time.  I think that we just need to work a little more on refining the Warlord event and see where it takes us.
