News Sirion's Tournament Ends The recent tournament in the city of Sirion ended today. The official tournament report follows: Tournament Report The tournament in Sirion is over. 222 troop leaders from 11 realms fought and drank. There was a swordfighting and a jousting contest. Seet Nisha, Countess of Winkamus won the swordfighting tournament (Idris (Noble of Ibladesh) came second place). The jousting contest was won by Saith (Noble of Itorunt) (Second place: bell (Noble of Obsidian Islands)). As one can see, Saith brought furtherglory onto our realm by achieving a first-place victory in the jousting half of the tournament. Unfortunately, I could not personally attend this tournament due to my urgent business, but I and the rest of the staff are happy to see a noble of our realm coming in first place (and winng 1100 gold, of course). If anyone remembers, this is Saith's second consecutive first-place championship victory in jousting (and if you don't, read the below article). For those who missed it, here was the official announcement letter: *OFFICIAL INVITATION* Greetings World Rulers and Nobles, Come join us in Sirion city to celebrate many exciting occasions. -First there are the over 170 additions to this fine realm since last I hosted a tournament. -Second is my fast approaching 1000 days of service to Sirion. -Third is my 400th day as ruler of Sirion. -Finally and most importantly I wanted an excuse to meet all the nobles from around the world again. All of these occasions gives me a chance to throw a grand tournament and celebration. Sirion is offering the highest first place prize ever to be offered in any world. Then your skilled nobles and realms can brag that they won the highest prize ever offered. Sirion has stocked up on many fine wines, mead, ale, and foods. There are many sights to see, places to practice your skills, and plenty of large rooms to rest in from your travels and long nights drinking. Just be careful around the herbs Count Adrian might have you try. They are very addicting and once addicted it will cost you a lot of gold to maintain this habit. With that I hope to see many new and returning nobles in Sirion city in the coming days. Cordially, Sir Handow Prime Minister of Sirion You'll have to ask those who were there to find out how it was. --Ichigo Ibladesh Tourney Results If anyone remembers this tournament, it ended quite some time ago, but I never managed to get the results to you. Well, here they are... I was beaten out in the first round in both parts of the tournament; by Freliana of Perdan in the sword and 3-0 by Kostra of Yssaria in the joust. bell of the Obsidian Islands beat sinted of Ibladesh to win the swordfighting championship, and Saith of our very own Itorunt won the joust by defeating Kostra of Yssaria 2 to 1. Well, I guess losing to the second-place jouster isn't so bad... Anyway, 205 troop leaders were at the tournament in all. The first-place winners received 600 gold, while the runners-up got 250 gold. A fun tournament, though I was busy the last few days of it. --Ichigo Apologies and Hiring Notice I apologize greatly for the delay in getting this month's issue of the II out. I was away for slightly over a week on important family business, and it seems the other editors didn't do much while I was away. It's hard running a newspaper almost completely by yourself. Lady Valdid's been helping, and I thank her for that. I once again send out a call for editors, since Thray doesn't seem to be doing much. Anyone interested, please send a letter indicating your interest in working for the Itorunt Informer to me, Ichigo Kurosaki. With your help, the II can become the most up-to-date source of news once again! --Ichigo
