Ordo 44, 1453 L.K.
The day of the Tournament of the Six arrived with clouds and comfortable temperatures. The people of the wood practiced with the Myth’gar standard short sword until Visuvious felt they all had a good understanding of its use. When all was ready Vala and Nobu began the event.
The Tournament of the Sword lasted the entire day. With every Crystal Bearer in the wood expected to face single combat against every other Crystal Bearer of the wood. For Ordo 44 that number was 25 Crystal Bearers. The Tournament of the Lock also lasted the entire day. With people running between the three locations trying to pick locks as fast as they could.
The Tournament of the Arrow and the Magi were both mostly decided midway through the day. However, the events were kept open in case any late arrivals wished to take part. Hero’Win Metherin presided over the Tournament of the Magi at the Black Tower. While a young Gnome lass Emily kept watch on the people in the archery tournament.
Towards the midpoint of the day Nobu called for all who had signed up for the Tournament of the Gate. The Team from Black Home had the honor of first defending Eir’s Gate. They were able to hold it against two other teams. First the team of Dom’s rebels, and then against the team from Dark Shire. However, they failed to hold against the team of New Crystal Bearers. The New Crystal Bearers were not able to hold against the team of Virtuous’ Monsters. Likewise, Virtuous’ Monsters fell to team Templum. Team Templum was able to hold against not only against each of the other five teams individually but also managed to withstand all five teams at once. Though they did lose their shield while fighting all the teams at once.
After the mid day meal, Nobo began the Tournament of the Shield. Each of the current 4 shields were represented. The Shield of Dark Shire, Black Home, Ramen, and Templum Bellatorum Abby held a shield. After a slow start Templum Bellatorum took the Shield of Black Home. Ramen managed to get the shield of Dark Shire. Dark Shire and Black Home teamed up to try and get Dark Shire’s Shield back from Ramen, but were only able to remove it from Ramen’s control before the horn sounded.
As the day wore on and each crystal bearer faced the other in combat by Sword, a pattern developed. Visuvious of Ramen had lost no battles of the day, but had yet to face Azrael. Azrael of Templum Bellatorum Abbey meanwhile had lost to only Tyrrin of Dark Shire. As Azrael faced off against Visuvious the tension in the air was thick. After many exchanges Vala determined Azrael the winner. This was not good enough however because now both Azrael and Visuvious were tied. They were forced to combat each other again, this time for the title of Champion of the Wood.
The sun moved towards the west and shadows began covering the wood. Visuvious and Azrael squared off again. The first exchange went to Azrael. The second to Visuvious. The third and the fourth were mutual deaths. In the fifth exchange it was determined Visuvious was the winner. Then Gnome Tanner with his magic eye piece of images proved that the fifth exchange was a mutual death as well. Finally, in the Sixth exchange Visuvious landed the killing blow first.
The Tournament of the Six ended as so:
The Tournament of the Arrow was won by McLaren of Black Home. He will now be able to enhance one of his weapons with an elemental effect once per event for a year.
The Tournament of the Magi was won by Draelich Bael of Ramen. He will now have one additional spell for a year.
The Tournament of the Lock was won by Dometheus of Dark Shire. He now has first level lock picking for a year.
The Tournament of Gate was won by the team of Azrael, Visuvious, Oreillus, and Knute Tzak. They will have 200 dirks to split between them.
The Tournament of the Shield was won by Templum Bellatorum Abbey. They will receive 4 bags of food, 1 red, blue, green and white flower, and 20 refined mythrainum.
The Tournament of the Sword was won by Visuvious of Ramen. He won the title of Champion of the Wood as well as the relic sword Fairen’Gar.
The finial rankings for the Tournament of the Sword were as follows
Aside from the tournament itself, the monsters of Ramen were able to corrupt the shrines of the Six for one scenario. Many honor duels were fought. Some rivalry was fomented between Black Home and the new crystal bearers.
All and all a wonderful day in the wood. Thank you everyone who made it out.
It has been a few years now since we have been able to have a Feast and Awards gathering. It was a pleasure to finally be able to do it again. We were fortunate enough to have a wonderful sunny day, so our younger participants and Cam could run around on the playground when the rest of us were talking shop and doing the dull stuff. A big thank you to everyone who made it out last year. Everyone’s participation is what makes this possible. Our first event is May 21st, I look forward to seeing everyone in the Wood.

Well 2018 is coming to a close and as a final farewell we thought it would be nice to finally get the last stats of 2018 posted. We are happy to say that 16 people leveled up and there is a list of about 8 more that are likely to level up early next year! We had a fantastic season and are so happy you all choose to join our (not so) little world and have so much fun.
See you in 2019!
20! Wow! We had a total of 20 characters level up in this event alone. Congrats to all, it was a great day.
As usual, our Myth Wood Battle Photographers did a stellar job of capturing many great moments from the day. Check the memories out here. As always if you happen to have a few photos laying around to add please contact me so I can get them where they need to be.

Guess what, stats are calculated just in time for the next event. Here is a quick snapshot of the kill count ranking for the day of July 22. As usual if you want any specific info about your character let me know. See you on Saturday!
The rankings for the April Tournament are complete and you can view them here on our Rankings page. Congrats to the following characters who leveled up. I hope to see everyone this weekend at our next event. When you come bring the token you received at the feast, it could come in handy. Don’t forget to read the latest story as the information in it sets up the storyline for this season, The Realm’s Rover.
The 2016 season has come to a close. We had a fantastic year as well as last event. Ed and I would like to thank you all for coming out to help us have such a great time.
The final numbers show just how much fun we all had. Check out the factoid post I posted for some fun statistics. I have updated the Rankings page (click here) to have the final numbers. Congrats to all who leveled up. Thanks to all who attended!
We will be posting the dates for next years events as soon as we pin them down, as well as any winter gathers we will be planning.
Stay tuned for hints as to what is coming up next year. The planning has already begun….
So I have started pulling together the numbers for the October Event. No Matt, I am not done with it yet. But while crunching numbers here are a few things that I noticed. Since Ed is busy editing a story written by one of our fellow denizens I took a bit of time to write them up.
Random factoids noticed after calculating the experience just for kills: Continue reading October 2016 Random Battle Factoids
Check it out! The July totals are done. Here are the results.
Here are the rankings for the September 2015 event. It was a great day and the stats show it! The following characters leveled up: Aurora (Bri), Balin Grumpkinsbane (Adam), Calinos (Steve), Erik Matrius (Mark O), Gadaren (Joey), Llew Silverhand (James), Mara/Marta (Amy), Rakiil (Dylan), Rawl (Jessica), Riddick (Brent), Samheim (Mark S. ), Sekhet (Danyel), and Sildiania (Lauren Tracy)
Quick update. I took a few minutes and made a new file with a list of all characters and their current levels. Everyone who has a class in Red earned enough experience after the August 2014 event to go up a level. We had a record 12 characters all go up in levels on the same day.
Click here to open the file. I have also linked to it from the Rankings page.
I finally have the Rankings page updated. You can all stop sending me mental questions on where the final stats are, the psychic energy has been quite draining. I see a new trend at the top of the leader board. Someone should step up and try to stop it before it gets too far out of hand.
