We will be holding a challenge tournament at
Gulf Wars X
in March, 2001
The tourney is planned for Wednesday evening, beginning at 5PM.
Please contact me if you want to enter the tourney.

The conduct of the tourney:

    We will be honoring the Swan in medieval legend. Three stories in particular have stolen our hearts, and each will be a theme for a round in the tourney. The first is the legend of the Swan Maiden, the second is the legend of the Seven Swan Princes, and the third is the legend of the Swan Knight. We will regale the gallery with these tales before each round, and the combat will relate to the tales as well. As always, be prepared for anything. Ladies, if you are knowledgeable about the fighting arts your choices will be the easier!
    If you plan on coming to the pas d'armes, but have never been to one of our tourneys, please read about our past ventures and email me with any questions or ideas you have.

After the Swan Maiden arrives to view the tourney, the tourney will begin with a grand melee.
