a tournament of swords
While tourneys in the knightly tradition are still held among the nobility of Clarion, and the soldiers of the Kasparian Empire partake in their drills and pageants, a swordplay tournament like the Praesidian Challenge is truly a special event.The great noble, scholar, and noted genius of the sword Prince Emilios Escaeda looked upon our world in tumult, only recently emerged from its long period of war and strife, and he saw beauty in it.
In this age of both great enlightenment and great violence, he saw the dawning of an age of martial brilliance. He decided it must be celebrated with a grand gathering for the most accomplished swordsmen in all of Duatha - and a contest to test their arts.
