Roland's Vespers Challenge

In the high middle ages, on the eve of tournament, it was custom for unbelted fighters to hold contest, accepting challenges from all fighters of any rank who would take the field against them to prove their skills martial.

In the tradition of these vesper bouts, Their Royal Majesties, Ragnarr Blackhammer and Anneke Raudhe have charged Master Roland de Mounteney to hold the field Friday night before the Ymir tournament, to spar against all comers and prepare himself to hold vigil through the night to receive counsel from the most noble Order of Chivalry.

All are invited to offer combat and counsel and to enjoy hospitality throughout the evening. The challenges will take place on the tournament field beginning approximately 9 pm, following the final court of Their Excellencies Geoffrey and Maddalena. All who wish to fight are reminded to bring their authorization and membership cards to check in with the list officers who will also sign you in for the tournament the following day.
