Long ago in Ansteorra, a grand tournament was held where rapier fighters from many realms would gather under the watchful eyes of their masters and vie for recognition, glory, and honor. After many years, the call has gone out again for students of the Art of Defense to gather together and test their skill. The Schools of England, Italy, Germany, and Spain invite all to gather in the Barony Elfsea for the return of The Academy of Defense!
Those who exhibit prowess, courage, honor, courtesy, and panache will be chosen as Free Scholars, champions of the Academy.
EVENT SCHEDULE:
- Coming Soon
COMBAT SCHEDULE:
- 4 Rounds of combat
Round 1: Intraschool “practice”
Combatants chosen by the school’s Master.
- Youth Combat: Between Rounds 1 & 2, the youth fighters of the different schools will vie against each other. Each youth will represent a fighter in their school, and that fighter’s weapon style in Round 2 will be determined by the outcome of the youth’s fighter’s match.
Round 2: Interschool duels
Combatants are selected by their school’s Master to face off against opponents from other schools.
Round 3: Interschool Melees
Masters choose 3-5 man melee teams to compete against the other schools.
Round 4: Masters Challenge
Masters will choose students to face them and prove their mettle.
After combat has concluded, the four Masters will confer with the Baron & Baroness. Each Master will choose a Free Scholar, as will Their Excellencies.
5 Free Scholars in total will be chosen as champions of The Academy.
