A BIG BLOODY
NÚMENEDAIN WEDDING

---

HEAR YE, HEAR YE, SUBJECTS AND FRIENDS OF THE WHITE THRONE

ISSUED 13TH OF THE AMBER COLD, 180 SA.

 

Know and rejoice that on the 18th day of the Sun’s Smile of the 182st year of the Second Age, the Prince Aranuir Caranethion Dagnir Delgorthada of the Royal House of Arthalionath shall henceforth take to wife the Lady Lemyariel Eldacariel of the House of Marsyr. In recognition of this long-awaited union, the noble houses and commonfolk of Númendil are summoned to the White City of Númenost the Fair to witness their oaths of holy matrimony. Furthermore, a day of celebration is to be had in the traditional manner of the Númenedain. 

Bloodsports.

---

Two Martial contests are to be held for the entertainment and honor of the newlyweds, a joust in which all Knights of the realms of Canondom are invited to prove their skill ahorse, and a Grand Melee- In which every able-bodied fighting man and woman of Aevos is called to participate. After the bloodsports, a grand feast will be held at the fairgrounds and winery outside of Númenost, wherein, on top of food provided by the Royal House Arthalionath, guests are also invited to bring their own dishes, examples of their local cuisine for the sampling of the newlyweds, with a monetary award being provided for the best dish offered. Detailed below is the protocol for the three contests, please read on if you intend to participate.

 

Healers will be on standby, probably.

---

The Joust

(Requirements) Must be a Knight recognized by the Canonist Faith, and must be at a minimum of 16 years of age. Must provide their own equipment.

The Grand Joust shall see the participants broken up into brackets, with each pair taking turns lancing each other off their mounts in the usual style. The victors from the first bout will then move on to the next round, and onwards until only two remain. The ultimate victor of the joust will be awarded 500 Minas and recognition as the Tourney Champion of 182 SA. Knights will be expected to introduce themselves at the beginning of the tourney and will be expected to introduce themselves by their name, who knighted them, and if applicable, who they serve, as so. Should the victor of the Joust have no liege-lord, and be searching for employment, they will be offered a place in the retinue of Prince Aranuir Caranethion and the House Arthalionath in exchange for fealty and adherence to the laws of Númendil.

 

“What is your name Ser Knight?”

“I am Ser Vladimir Vladimirovich of Beznov, I was knighted by Vladimir Dimitriovich, and I serve the Lord of Beznov!”

 

By participating in the joust, you recognize the potential risk of injury or death, and, knowing full well the danger of participating, waive any right to weregild or compensation from the Royal House Arthalionath.

Should an individual die (PK Only) at this event, they will be commemorated with a plaque, statue, or bench, according to the choice of their next of kin.

The Melee

(Requirements) Must be at a minimum of 16 years of age. Must provide their own equipment.

Compared to the Joust, the melee shall be a simpler, but bloodier affair. After the jousts are concluded, all who desire to participate in the melee shall gather within the lists, which shall have the bars removed to provide easier access. A countdown shall be announced, and after the countdown concludes, those who have chosen to participate shall fight until only one remains standing. Retreating from beyond the bounds of the lists shall be considered forfeiture. The last man standing shall be awarded 500 minas and recognition as the Melee Champion of 182 SA. Should the victor of the melee have no liege-lord, and be searching for employment, they will be offered a place in the retinue of Prince Aranuir Caranethion and the House Arthalionath in exchange for fealty and adherence to the laws of Númendil.

 

By participating in the melee, you recognize the potential risk of injury or death, and, knowing full well the danger of participating, waive any right to weregild or compensation from the Royal House Arthalionath.

Should an individual die (PK Only) at this event, they will be commemorated with a plaque, statue, or bench, according to the choice of their next of kin.

Cook’s Competition.

(Requirements) Be a decent cook. No bear meat, no pork.

While plenty of food is already to be catered by servants of the Royal House, those who seek a monetary reward of 200 Minas and employment as the Royal Chef are invited to bring examples of their local cuisine to be sampled by the newlyweds and those present. Whoever brings the best dish (as chosen by the newlyweds) will be declared the victor and be given the reward, and offered employment. The Prince is fond of poultry, lamb, mulberry, strawberries, and Baklava, while Lady Lemyariel has a preference for salmon. These foods are not required, and in fact, the more exotic, the better. This is simply an advisement of preference.

As for final notes, if you intend to bring a gift, please no swords, we have enough of the bloody things. If you wish to extend your services as entertainment throughout the ensuing feast, please reach out to the Prince Aranuir before the Wedding and Games. Be warned, that any who seek to disrupt the festivities will be fed to the Olog-Knight, Ser Ruthron of Númenost.

The Princess of Númenost blinked at the invitation. “Huh. I didn’t think they were that serious.” 

[TN_TURKEY 117]

"About damn time." Declares Prince Aranuir's twin brother upon an invitation being delivered to him on the frontlines in Koyo-Kuni.

 The Princess’s Handmaiden happened to hear the comment as she tended to something nearby. Eyrah shook her head slightly as she spoke.

“I am very happy for Lemy and your brother. We will have to bring her some nice gifts to ease her mind in the large crowd…”

The Other Marsyr Sister glances from the letter, to the Princess, then to her handmaiden, having been presumably walking around. Somewhere. "Eri, he learned the harp to impress her- you didn't think they were that serious?!"

A missive conveyed by servo-spider makes it to the desk of the Numendil Missive-Posting Department:

 

"You have a clerical error on this missive, you said the word 'joust' in the melee section, probably by having the servo-scribe repeat the same boilerplate without adjustment. I would come over and configure it for you, but the few dozen steps I would need to make would be a lot for me to do right now. I trust you can configure the servo-scribe correctly over there.

"Nerd." Commented Peter, the groom's father, before whipping out the formal wear once more.

[DrHope 597]

Ser Eldacar Marsyr was in his house smiling proud as he read the missive. This smile faltered however as he swiftly realized he had not a single formal outfit to wear. "Bugger. . ."  And so he sprinted off, searching for a seamstress!

[MadOne 3675]

Caius I makes a mental note to join the MELEE TOURNAMENT to BASH some HEADS.

“This… sounds like a wedding I would enjoy…” The Queen of Balian spoke with a wide grin on her face as she immediately picked up her Jet black sword.
