TFoTT: Part 9

 “The Soldiers of Nilam are all equipped with polished banded metal plates that move and protect vital areas while providing some maneuverability unlike the rigid armor breastplates of the day. Officers in the Nilam military all have blue cloaks that are stylized by rank and command. The Nilam Castle Guard has a silver lion on their cloaks and shields where as the regular army symbol is just silver bands.”

“So the festival is finally here, it is tomorrow right is it not?”

“The Principality of Aire was once believed to be larger than the Kingdom of Nilam. Lore within one of the older Kingdom states of Aire recalls a land to the south east that was once attached. No Such land has been found it has be hypothesized that the ocean swallowed the land whole or that it detached and started drifting into the Ocean following currents.”

Sho takes a sip from his mug. “So are we really off duty till after the tournament?”

“Yes we are, though we are suspended it comes with pay and we still hold our ranks it’s just unless something happens were off duty. We are to not participate in daily tasks and regular duties it isn’t all that bad Sho.”

“The Geir army blackens their armor following tradition. It’s a great contrast to the bright yellow cloth they use, and when alone it makes them blend into their cities dark stone building materials. Some of the Generals of Geir have been known to wear gold accented/decorated filigree blacked armor.”

            “Princess do you honestly think it is wise to make Sho unable to perform his duties prior to the tournament. I don’t think I have seen him happy outside of ‘fulfilling his duty’. Considering I am one of his best friends that’s… saying something.”

TFoTT: Part 5

"There are six minor Kingdoms in the world. There is the Principality of Aire, east of Nilam and Geir, there is the Principality of Habek which resides in the center of the World and there is the Principality of Annon which is west of the Kingdom of Geir and south of the Kingdom of Vidarr. These three Kingdoms operate in various manners and are collections of smaller city states or Kingdoms.

The remaining three Kingdoms are thought to be complete Kingdoms and not much is known about them they are typically referred to as the Jungle Kingdoms, and their lands as the Jungle Lands. The Maultak Mountain range blocks land travel to the three Jungle Kingdoms, and the ocean around the Kingdoms are too shallow for the majority of the ships from the Northern seven Kingdoms."

"Geir is the Kingdom of spears, and have traded many of their crafted weapons throughout the Kingdoms. Situated south of the Kingdom of Nilam, many of their lands are in a temperate zone holding a tree that only resides there in vast quantity.

The Fate of Three Trees pt.1

                The Fate of Three Trees

                            By B.T. Smith

“To cease major hostilities and keep fighters and warriors the world over from causing mass havoc after the last major war a martial foundation was created. The foundation crossing as many border or boundaries it could decided the best action was to hold a tournament once every five years .Tournament entrance was welcome to any of age persons, regardless of sex, or style as it was meant to release violent energies and to show pride of  the Kingdoms.”

-         Tournament Article de Historical (1042).

“The warriors compete to measure their fighting skills, their fighting spirit and their pride. Four active kingdoms host the tournament switching location, and holding festivals unique to each kingdom; bringing unique interpretations.  The combat is fierce as most means are allowed (including metal weapons), deaths have occurred from these tournaments so do not enter unless you and yours are prepared…”
