Midsummer Tourney at Icecrown

[Noxtrael]

To commemorate the season, a Midsummer Tourney will be hosted by the Fabled Order at Icecrown, in the Argent Tournament Grounds, on Thursday the 25th of June at 9pm Realm Time! This Tourney shall be for members of the Alliance ((Due to the limitations of Dueling at the Argent Tournament)).

Harken to this call, and gather to fly the banners of your clans proudly as you engage in fiery combat and feats of skill! The events will be followed by feasting, which will carry on to other Midsummer Festival locations.

First we shall hold the Grand Melee, beginning promptly at 9:15pm after those interested have entered. Several brackets will be created depending on the attendance of various seasoned combatants. Gold prizes will be awarded to the Champion of each bracket.

Once the Grand Melee is over, the Joust shall begin--approximately at 10:30pm Realm Time. This will be a single-elimination joust until one Champion is crowned. The winner of the Joust will then have the honor to name a Queen of Love and Beauty.

A Great Race may follow the Joust, depending on attendance. Having its start time ambiguous should decrease the likelihood of Horde interference, and the exact course through Northrend will be outlined to racers prior to its starting.

I look forward to seeing many of you there.

It's occurring in a Sanctuary zone. Besides, Horde add interest to the race.

I'm too busy, being delicious.

((Yeah, this. No need to worry about them. We're not really 'not wanting to invite them' but rather, we can't have them participate. Though a race with the Horde chasing the Alliance does make things much more interesting. ;)

Also, if a female wins, she can name a King of... something embarrassing for the man.))

((Not sure that's embarrassing. In fact, I think some will like that.))

Noxtrael old friend,

I wish I could make it but alas, it will most likely be too late for me. I wish you luck in the tournament!
