Asterian Convention: Tournament of Thorns

Written by: Sir Finnegan Wintermourne, Thorn-Wrought Knight
Date: Wednesday, May 21st, 2025
Addressed to: Everyone


As part of the Asterian Convention on Knighthood, the Gaian Knights will
host the Tournament of Thorns - a team-based competition designed to
test coordination, discipline, and one's conduct in the company of
others.

This will be a three-versus-three tournament, with teams assigned at
random from those who enter. Your teammates may be chance. How you act
among them is not.

- Entry Fee: 50,000 gold per person

- Signups close: 18th Glacian, 976 AF

- Conclusion: 13th Sarapin, 977 AF

All entry fees will go into a prize pool, to be split evenly among the
three final victors.

Separately, the Gaian Knights will match the total gold collected
through entries, and donate that amount equally to the Asterian
Restoration and the Guild of Knights.

To register, send word to me directly. Teams will be announced after
signups close.

Note: This is a formal competition - not an alliance. You may find
yourself alongside those you would not freely choose. I don't ask you to
like them. I ask that you hold your standard, carry yourself with
discipline, and remember why you're here.

Stand where you're placed. Hold the line. Let all remember your name.

Moraia morain,
Sir Finnegan Wintermourne
Her Thorn-Wrought Knight

Penned by my hand on the 20th of Daedalan, in the year 976 AF.
