In the land of Yrte there ruled a beloved king, King Arneus. Arneus had the loveliest and kindest wife and daughter, the handsomest and bravest sons, and the greatest army and navy for a thousand leagues. His rule was filled with justice and wisdom. He and his family were beloved by one and all.
One of the most admired aspects of his rule were the tournaments. Unlike most he allowed the squires to compete when they were of age and thus earn their knighthood in combat as currently the land was peaceful and had been such for twenty five years. Just now the nearest tournament was a few weeks off. This had not stopped the eligible squires from arriving early as possible.
Many of these young men had come seeking glory and knighthood. They would have to fight hard, including against full knights and this worried them, but they had hope. Each had his reasons for seeking their knighthood and each had his dreams for what would happen when their achieved their goal.
The locals in the capitol city of Neas had bets down on the more well known squires, most of whom had served with famous knights for the requisite number of years but a few of which had proven themselves in actual battle against criminals or monsters. Now they all waited patiently for the beginning of the tournament.
