Tournament Prizes
______________________________________________
Tournament Prizes are awarded according to the All Ranks Tournament Rules. The first-place finisher will have the first choice of any prize available (see exceptions below). Each subsequent finisher shall then choose their prize until there are no prizes remaining.
Special Prize: The Talon of Redwin
“The Talon of Redwin is awarded to the highest placed tournament duelist with the rank of Grand Master or below after calculating wins gained throughout the night. The Talon is named in honor of one of the Arena's most illustrious and well known duelers, Siera Redwin, past Overlord and Baron of the rings. The Talon of Redwin may also select a prize from the prize pool.”
Tournament Grants
1. Overlord Challenge Grant (Test Free)
Only a duelist ranked Warlord/Baron can choose the test-free Overlord Challenge Grant prize. The winner of this grant will have 14 days beginning the day after the tournament (Sunday, June 28th 6ET) to challenge the Overlord. Normal challenge guidelines must be followed. No special grant holders may intercede during these challenges, nor can the Overlord initiate a Test of Worthiness.
2. Barony Challenge Grant (Not Test Free)
The winner of this grant will have 14 days beginning the day after the tournament (Sunday, June 28th 6ET) to challenge a Baron. This prize may be gifted away to an active duelist listed on the standings should the prize winner be a titleholder.
3. Intercession Grant
Once during the following cycle, the winner of this prize may intercede in a challenge. The grant is considered spent once the prize-winner intercedes and the duel has started, or once the cycle has ended. The Intercession Grant can be used by its holder to either counter or issue a test of worthiness. This grant functions the same as Usage Two of the King’s Decree.
Donated Prizes
1. Overlord Prize: An exclusive day-trip for two on the Chimera Yacht, meals provided - courtesy of Lilith Anderson.
2. Black Magic Burger: Dinner for two at Black Magic Burger.
3. Unifier Brewing Company: Gift Basket including freshly picked blackberries, a bottle of Blackberry whiskey, a bottle of Blackberry Ginger Beer both crafted by Nicklaus with Junipers ideas. Two tumbler glasses and a muddler created by Nicklaus, both the wood carved and the magic enchanted. Because the muddler has been made with Nicklaus’s magic there are consequences to using it. Take notice if you choose to muddle your berries the muddler will consume a portion of the berries as payment for the gift of chilling your drink. If you use it for anything nonedible it will fly out of your hand and seek out the first breakable object.
Arena Sponsored Prizes
1. Seaside Beach Tiki Stand Vouchers
2. Biergarten’s Tasting Tour for Two
3. Cash Prize: 100 Nobles x # of Participants
All Duelists will have their recorded wins throughout the night added to their record!

(( OOC: Early Seeding will be based on the Cycle Rankings found on the Duel of Swords Standings page, followed by sign up or walk in time for those that don't pre-register. As this is an All Ranks Tournament, all participating duelists will be fighting at the Warlord Rank: this means participants are granted four (4) fancies during their matches. This tournament will be Double Elimination.
With the announcement of the All Ranks Tournament, the Overlord Grace Period —wherein no challenges can be made except by the winner of Overlord Challenge Grant (Test Free) prize or a Banished Loyal Baron— begins June 13th 6 EST and extends until July 12th 6 EST. ))
