A Bard's Tale: Herald's Challenge
"You may believe yourself to be awash in glory, a victor over death, a champion of the round, a deity of war, but for how long? Today's triumph will be naught but a wistful memory for you, soon enough, forgotten by women, overshadowed by men of more recent spectacle, lost to the haze of time. It need not be so. What you have in skill, you lack in presentation, in appeal, in that verve by which heroes are remembered, and all others are but casualties of time; yet, there remains hope for your legacy. You need a bard, a herald, a voice as adroit in advancing your fame as you are in fighting for it. The one praised by the bards, sung by the skalds, held high by heralds, is the one who becomes immortal in tale and tune. All others, in shorter time than they ever expected, will achieve nothing more than being a brief topic in passing gossip and feeding crows and grass in some lost field. So, aspirant, are you serious enough about your enduring name to hire me to praise it properly, or will you be nothing more than the faceless vanquished in a verse sung for one whose coin purse was more open?"
- Ascribed to the First String of the Twelveswood Troubadours
Knights, warriors, and thrilling contenders of all sorts will present themselves at the Flame Festival, all hoping to take home a prize, bragging rights, glory. But what of those of you whose battlefield is the stage? What of you whose words, music, voices can turn a chump with a blunt lance into a Deity of War, fit for legends? What of those who can move a crowd with mere words? What honors are there for you, you say, you whose skills change sodden grunts into immortal heroes?
Come, then, and do what you do best! Declare your champion, and make us believe!
Rules:
Each contestant of the Herald's Challenge will chose his or her champion - a contestant in The Joust, the Pie Eating Contest, or one of the Side Events. Heralds will have 3-5 minutes to perform a song, speech, brag, testament, or combination thereof, praising their chosen champion's prowess in their chosen contest. A small panel of judges will officiate, and winners will be chosen by audience vote. Once all performances are complete, votes will be submitted to the judges, who will count them and declare the winner. Note that Red Wings members, and their alts, may not enter, although contestants in other events are allowed to be their own heralds for this event, if they choose.

The Joust
Brave Cavaliers, step forth with your trusted steads. We seek 16 contestants to gather on the field to fanfare, testing their metal against others of their type. On loyal mounts they will charge and seek to dismount their fellows in honorable non-lethal combat. The grand prize winner of this challenge shall take home a prize of 1,000,000 gil! Sharpen your blades, and ready your steads!
Rules
There will be 13 matches in total, some matches to occur during the same time as other matches for the sake of time. There will be used "/random" to decide winners at each pass. The judge will call for the /random, both fighters will roll. Once the numbers are seen both players will be encouraged to write a short reaction and for fun run past each other. The Winner of each roll will write their action first, the loser of the roll will write the reaction, for the entertainment of the crowd. Each jouster will have 3 HP. No Godmoding (ie: "This is my mount Midgardsomer!" You can say dragon if you must but no named "special" mounts). Magic in the form of missile type spells (Fire 1) allowed. Firearms and bows (rubber bullets and blunted arrows) allowed. All other blunted or dulled weapons allowed. Red Wings members may not enter this contest.
