Baron Litli’s Iron Golem Challenge

Baron Liitli challenges the Lunar Populace to showcase their Prowess by entering all Defenders lists to demonstrate how well rounded our Lunar Populace is! We have 8 Defenders tournaments and the Iron Golem challenge will have you enter the list for every field, you may declare to be Defender of any field but as soon as you have secured a declared victory all your further tournaments will remain undeclared. I have challenged all of my Defenders to keep the Golem participants as non destructive and find interesting ways to make their presence exciting and a challenge for all. Fighting Authorization is required to participate on the Cut and Thrust , Rapier, and Heavy fields. Equestrian has already been equipped with Stick Horses with which unauthorized Riders may participate in the Equestrian Defenders Tournament, we will work on a path to rider authorization for those interested next year in fully competing on the Equestrian field. The Archery field is available and open to all for participation of any skill level. Arts and science will require you to show off some of the really cool things you have created with your own hands and mind with a simple What, Where, and How documentation. We will spread Bardic performances throughout the day. Baron Litli will summon to life Iron Golem pilgrim badges for you to proudly display that you competed on all of the fields! The top Golems will receive a special prize and special rights to Flex on their friends for a year that they were the top Iron Golem. Come showcase your arts, get on the field to fight your friends and have medieval fun!
