For honor and glory!

The last companion has joined the group under the Yronwood banner. Mollos Oakheart from the Reach has met his old friends once again. Together they ride off to Cider Hall where House Tyrell has declared that three tournaments for squires will be held. Champions will have to compete in jousts, mêlée and archery. Three tournaments in total will take place: one on the grounds of Cider Hall, one in Bronzegate and the final one in the Crownlands. Enrollment fees are 100 moons per squire per tournament. When the squire tournaments are finished, knights will have the possibility to compete in the same three disciplines, free of charge.

Berthold Yronwood, determined to shine in glory, has sought out the skills and knowledge of the reputed Alanys of the West, horse trader and first merchant to determine the worth of outlandish coinage. Her capabilities and bargaining skills have already proven their worth when the knights wished to purchase tournament lances. The bantering did not end in favor for the sorry craftsman and it would seem that the deal closed, both by Yronwood and Flowers, will turn out profitable either way, on loss or victory.

Uller of Oldstones has been taken on as a man of medicine in order to ensure that both squires and knights will be able to perform at their utmost capabilities during the competition. Whether his healing hands will be able to keep up with inflicted damage remains yet to be seen.

The latter is not the only question remaining...
