Tear-Seas Shore

What? Winter’s got you down? Need something to tide you over after 12th night? Well, the Canton of Tear Sea’s Shore has got just the tournament for you! And it is even extra large, befitting the 40th anniversary of the famous Mannanan mac Lir Tournament! Plenty of fighting will be available with the tradition Brooch of Mannanan Tourney, with bragging rights to the oldest continuously awarded tourney prize up for grabs. And just to make it more challenging, each competitor must come up with a boast about his or her prowess before taking the field, sponsored by Mistress Adendra! What, that’s not enough fighting? Well, how about a Great Weapons tourney to help satisfy the need! And don’t forget our Rapier Fighters, with their own Brooch Tourney, and a Cut and Thrust Tourney to follow. The youth of Atlantia will be pleased to know that they also are promised a fun tourney from Lord Robert the Banished!
