Tournaments of Artemis IX
Author: Margaret August
My first big tournament was a lot of fun. Myself, Fern, Cimone, and Thayet led our team; the Bird Buddies, with Artemis’s blessing. It involved a lot of fighting, as well as some puzzles and knowledge based pursuits. King Cecil was on my team. At one point, he handed me his shield and told me I should figure out what to do with it. Cordelia helped me translate the runes which read “Hope, Shelter, Power”. I later learned that this is his beast name. But that did not help me here. After talking to his son I learned that this was the King’s Page shield, and that I was to act as his Page for the duration of the event. Orion helped to teach me what a Page was, and I accepted. It was an honor to be able to work with the King for the day.
Date: 4/30/1022 There were many tournaments. Both combat tournaments and knowledge based tournaments. Aelias did a ritual to Artemis which gave the Huntresses the ability to swing armor piercing, an ability which was very underutilized until it wasn’t. There were also specific challenges which only we could do, such as capturing a flag or using our full weapons and armor. Overall it was incredibly fun and I left the battlefield exhausted but proud, especially after we were able to win the tournament overall. |
