[Jokern]

Imperial Tournament



Tournament Grounds, Leeuwarden, Frisia

POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

The Tournament Grounds are bustling with life as everything is made ready for the opening. Two bleachers have been built, one on either side of the arena. One is simple, only built in wood. The other one is a pompous work of architecture, with a roof, drapes hanging from the sides and with the Kaiser's banner hanging high. In the middle of the bleacher has a special booth been built, with two thrones at the front. It is the Royal Bleacher with the Imperial booth. It is only for the nobles of the Empire and is heavily guarded by knights. The tournament hasn't begun yet. A piece of paper has been put up titled "Tournament Rules".
