The second CH tournament is over. It looks like we have a new tradition here – holding special tournaments for inhabitants of
the English-speaking part of the Lands. A very promising tradition, I might say… If all goes on as it is, the ranks of chivalry in
these parts would quickly become vast and prosperous, and we won’t have to wait for too long for our first Baron! Glory to
our valiant warriors!
A few days ago, lady-Naga, Tarna Saldeiska, made a proposal to hold a party in the Tavern to celebrate the finishing of the
CH Tournament. There wasn’t much comments yet, but it sure would be an excellent idea to organize a big holiday for all our
inhabitants. Aside from just having fun in a good company, it might help us to get more familiar with each other… after all, the
inhabitants of the Lands do have to know each other a little better, don’t they?
Also, the Lands’ best carpenters, joiners and other workers had performed a marvelous work! Now, we have a beautiful
barstand in our tavern, a perfect place for people to talk to each other and for newcomers – to get more accustomed to the
spirit of the Lands! Although the job is not quite over yet, and our workers are planning to severely enhance the outlooks and
comfort of the barstand, it is already rather good as it is!
Meanwhile, a hot discussion is being held about the results of the last Common Tourney. Although it’s official results had’t
been displayed yet, the most of the people have already began to complain about some problems. They are accusing the
organizers in selecting a most unfortunate place for holding the tourney. As it had been discovered, there are a lot of unusual,
weird tricks, which can give a vast advantage to the participants, who use them… but some of them were of such nature, that
many people even doubt, if it is acceptable for a knight to use such methods… nevertheless, the Magistrate had officially
allowed the use of those tricks, which led to a more than weird results – we’ll surely see them very soon… Many people fear,
that if such methods wouldn’t be strictly prohibited in the nearest future, the next tourneys could turn into a farce.
A new lady had come to our lands a few days ago. “And what’s so unusual about that?” - you might ask. Well, not every day
a lady-vampire declares in the tavern, that she wants to get married with some knight as soon as possible… Lady Tonika told
to the curious people, that there is a horrible curse upon her, which only can be lifted by a marriage. Most of the knights still
feel reluctant to get married with the new lady, but our valiant Magister Sargon declared, that he’s ready to marry lady Tonika
to help her lift her curse… But the lady herself, as she said, wouldn’t accept anyone in order to survive. So, she declared, that
she’ll marry the one who will be able, firstly, to fulfill the most unbelievable exploit, and, secondly, to write an ode praising her
and her race.The knights are still a bit confused with that statement, and are discussing, what that exploit could be… someone
even thought of killing a dragon… but, as there are only one dragon here for now, it wouldn’t be a very good idea, and the
dragon himself would surely be against such an “exploit”! So, we’ll have to wait and see…
