From Storvik

[Kaliban]

Greetings Fighters of Storvik and House Blackspear,

As the wind blows cold and our fighting season has drawn to an end it would be nice to sit at home and heal my wounds. My Lady bids me stay home and prepare for planting next season. And while my bed is warm I still hear the call of the fight. I will not relinquish my sword. I will fight throughout the year and hone my skills on the battle field so I may drive the enemies of our King before us. Those who stood with me at Pennsic and drove teams of fighters to their deaths know of this drive. We stand to conquer.

As such, I will be issuing challenges to each and every Barony in Atlantia's Northern Region. I will challenge them to present to us their best fighters for 5 man melee bouts at Monday practices. Anglesee and Galatia will be included in this challenge.

Of course, I expect we will win every bout. I will start offering regular melee skills training sessions on Mondays at 8:00 when we don't have challengers to best. I ask that at least 8 fighters present themselves to me in preparation for these bouts. These fighters will serve to best every other Barony in the Northern Region.

Yours in Service,
Finn O'Donovan
Warlord to the Barony of Storvik
Warlord, House Blackspear

Really, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. The pull of football is strong, however, the pull of handing out a whooping may be even stronger.

Finall maybe you bed wouldn't be so warm if you reliquished your sword and stopped fighting with it.
