Tear-Sea's Shore
Greetings to the fair populace of Atlantia. I am the Event Steward for the most auspicious of Tourneys. The Tournament of Manannan Mac Lir, with the longest running tournament prize in Atlantia, returns to you once more on January 27th of 2024. Join us in the fair southern lands of South Carolina to see those that would prove their mettle and the right to wear the Manannan Brooches for the next year. We have THREE, you heard me, THREE brooches this year. The late Mistress Megara created the first two, those awarded for Armored Combat and Rapier. This year, myself, Mistress Jorunn, and Mistress Tegan have created a new brooch for the Arts and Sciences. All efforts in our fair kingdom should be recognized and we are grateful to give this new avenue to the Arts and Sciences community.
