[Steppes] Support your local Archer

[jack spinks]

Come one come all to the first archery Mini Tourney sponsored by the Draconian Horde and your local Arc d'Or.  'Twill be following the regular practice held on the morrow at the usual Eastfield College site on Motley just north or I30.  E'en if ye have rarely held a bow the prizes and word fame shall be noteworthy and worth effort e'en do ye not triumph. Participants shall be in garb and heralded on to the field (so heralds or heralds in training please come out- we pay- in chocolate or other goods if needed).  
 
Entry is an item that one would like themselves with winner take all.  As one of the local Arc d'Or and a gem merchant of France, I will add to the prize chest 5 cabochon stones (1.5 inch teardrop silver lace agate, Cave Creek Jasper, Texas Tiger Eye, one golden moss and one moss agate) ground and polished by my hand plus 4 faceted simulants  (1/2" clear round brilliant, 1/2" pink emerald cut, and two smaller carbuncle color).  Possibly I will add more.   'Tis well worth the cost to encourage development of the archers needed to help protect the caravan routes of trade in these uncertain times of war and bandritry.  I hope that many will come out to encourage the efforts of their favorite archer in their struggle to walk away with the prize chest contents tomorrow and prove their value.
 
Who knows- perhaps a wise noble might e'en hire such archers as prove themselves in the morrows tourney.
