The King’s annual birthday tourney attracts scores of competitors and this year is no exception. Knights will Joust for the prize of being named King’s Champion and Grand Melee is always a spectacle with commoners and knights competing side by side. Common folk and high lords alike will be in attendance and this year the King has made it clear he plans to make a “momentous announcement” that will change the shape of the Commonwealth forever. But before he can, tragedy strikes.
