(from Lord Kyth Sterling of Dragonsbane)
28th Basics - The Prince of Elves (David Fey) hosted a fun 'walk your talk' tournament: who can beat whom?

There was seemingly a never-ending succession of List Tournies, Field and Bridge Battles, Siegecraft, Music, Games, Swimming (Casual and Competition), jesters and jongleurs, and even more. No magic was allowed for the war conventions (tournaments), and they took inspection of every weapon, shield, and even arrows (floo-floo or flu-flu arrows were the arrow of the time).
