Some observers are saying that
the glut of entrants at this years regional tournament may be the work
of Xathor. Almost one third of the knights entered this year are
from boarder towns that have never sent knights to compete before.
With the threat of invasion very real, one has to wonder how these
knights have the time to compete when fortifications along the Wall
of the Dead are going up almost daily.
Baron Gallimore of Giant Coast
was called home during the third round of the Geyser Regional
Tournament. It was assumed that his recall had to do with the news
of Xathor's army marching into the Northlands and threatening Giant
Coast. This could lead to a shakeup in the current rankings as Baron
Gallimore will have to forfeit his remaining matches.
Informants in the north report
that citizens of Xathor have come up with a new game involving two
teams kicking the recently decapitated head of a peasant around a
courtyard. The game ends when one team kicks the head through a gate
at the far end of the courtyard. This game has not been seen in the
Free Kingdoms and many nobles call it barbaric.
Swimming competitions have
been postponed until a large Aboleth roaming the inner harbor is
caught. It is possible that the four swimmers who did not complete
the harbor swim two weeks ago were the unfortunate victims of the
hungry creature. Please obey the no swimming signs until the city
guard removes them.

Ergink of Kole has been making the tournament
rounds for the past six years. Once considered the
best jouster in all of Aram, time and injury have
taken a toll on his achievements the last two
years.
