> On May 21st A.S. XLV bring 2010 in the common age 2010. My lady wife
> Rosalia of Raven's Fort and myself traveled to The Canton of Glaslyn
> to compete in the Queen's Champion tournament. In our travels we
> stopped at the home of Lord Conrad and his lady wife. The both of them
> had once lived in Raven's Fort. Lord Conrad made us feel very welcome
> and we enjoyed a wonder dinner and dessert cooked by his lovely wife.
> After dinner and with dessert we shared stories of days gone by and
> lifted a glass to those no longer with us. As in most things we turned
> into bed far too late in the night, the drawing of the early dawn was
> only a few hours away and we needed to be up early. We rose in the
> early daylight hours and after a good breakfast we set out. Upon
> arriving at the site we found friends and caught up on things that had
> happened since the last time we talked. The first part of the
> tournament was a Swiss Five with the first round being single sword,
> the second being sword and dagger, the third being rigid parry, the
> forth being flexible perry, and the last round finishing the same as
> the first with single sword. Then the best of the Swiss Five moved
> into the finals round to become the Queens Champion. Alas neither
> Rosalia or myself made it past the Swiss five but we did enjoy the
> people that we had the honor to duel with that day. We also enjoyed
> the fine hospitality of the Canton of Glaslyn and the fine job they
> did with this event. Returning to the home of Lord Conrad we rested
> and talked of the fun we had before making the long trip back to our
> home in Raven's Fort.
