Challenge for Old Temple! (Baronial Challenge Grant)

[Mart]

Baroness Blaze!

As you have held your Ring the longest, and thus are the most senior among the Baronial ranks, I believe using my grant from the recent All Ranks Tourney to challenge you would give me the most experience in dueling a seasoned veteran. Therefore, I issue challenge to you for the Ring of Old Temple!

I look forward to your reply,

Mart Di'luna
Squire of Battlefield Park

It was my great privilege and honor to be chosen to officiate this challenge! Allow me to elaborate!

Rising star of the previous All Ranks Tournament and winner of the Baronial Challenge Grant, the Talon of Redwin and Squire of Battlefield Park, Mart Di’luna, fought under a banner portraying a golden border with a field of white, bearing a golden Mallorn tree at the center. He chose Baron Matt Simon to stand as his Second this evening, and listed as his Person of Honor: "Augusta Mary Anne Holmés Driscol." That’s … my dog.

Coming in strong for an attempt at a second defense, Baroness Gloria Blaze fought under the standard bearing the colors gold and black of House Royal with a green jade trim for Atrebla. She chose Baroness Michelle Montoya to stand as her Second for the evening, and listed as her Person of Honor: “Kaprielle D’Argent, seventh holder of the first ring which is now known as Old Temple and one who exemplified the duels in many positive ways.”


Overlady Lilith Anderson stepped in to bestow the test of worthiness on this challenge, and Renegade Baroness Jaycy Ashleana stepped in to champion on Mart’s behalf. Results of this first fight are as follows.
