A Tournament of Knights and Dragons

Written by: Ser Aerek Ancyrion, Blade of the Mnemosyne
Date: Friday, September 8th, 2023
Addressed to: Everyone



The Knights of Aster Malik are renowned as dragonslayers. When the Old Empire was young, the Castle of Twelve dispatched its Knights Errant to tame the frontiers from rapacioius lesser dragons and other wyrms, and Seleucarian Knights trained in this art. Lesser dragons are fewer in these modern times, but the Guild of Knights does not abandon this tradition of hunting the Bane of Ledo!

And so we hail the Greater Dragons of the land, not with disdain but with hearty respect for the sons and daughters of Sycaerunax; noble creatures that have saved our realm more than once. We beseech you to meet us in this cordial tournament challenge, and re-enact the battles of our Knightly ancestors and their ancestral foils!

The tournament shall be organized thusly:
- A team of Knights shall fight a team of Dragons in a round-robin, in 1v1 spars to the best of 3, in Delos or similar arena. Knights shall only fight Dragons, and Dragons shall only fight Knights.
- A draw match shall not count toward either team's victory.
- Like the running Kartha contest, these duels shall be individually scheduled by the contestants, beginning in Phaestian 926 and ending in Chronos 927, or when all matches have taken place.
- The Dragons shall fight in their Dragonform, and the Knights shall fight in their lesserforms. No elemental forms shall be permitted, as Asteri Knights train against these foes as well!
- Results shall be reported to myself by message, and on a Knight's honour, we shall see which team triumphs in the final tally!

Great wyrms of Sapience, we challenge you to face us in this test of courage, prowess, and bloodlust, to earn great honour for each our storied lineages. Do contact me by message before the end of Phaestian 926, so we may begin in timely fashion. At the tournament's opening, I shall message each contestant with the list of the Knights or Dragons they hunt.

In honour eternal,
Ser Aerek Ancyrion
Knight of Aster Malik

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Valnuary, in the year 926 AF.
