Dawn’s soft light spreads warmth across the fields as the sun
rises on an Inland morning.  The banners surrounding the
erics flutter in a gentle breeze.  Squires are already
hard at work in the tents of their knights, polishing and
checking armor to ensure that everything is at the ready for
the coming combat.  Fighters from across An Tir have
prepared for this moment for months, each eager for their
chance to prove their mettle and earn the right to crown
their inspiration ruler of An Tir.

It is the law of the great land of An Tir that each spring a
new Royal Heir is chosen by right of combat.  Their
Royal Majesties King Owain ap Einar and Queen Adwen
Wrenn invite the populace of the Kingdom of An Tir to gather
together in the heart of the Inlands and bear witness as
Their own successors are chosen.  The Barony of
Wastekeep is preparing a tournament such as none seen before,
and welcomes An Tir with open arms.

The Barony of Wastekeep looks forward to seeing you all at
May Crown, come and watch the great heroes of An Tir as they
show off their combat skills, watch the finesse of the rapier
fighters, and enjoy the site of arrows sorring. Enjoy a
stroll down merchant rows and of course look at all the Arts
