Duel for the Yule!

[Cajsa Storm]

The Duel of Swords staff invites you to celebrate yuletide this year by getting out and dueling!

If you duel at least four regulation Duel of Swords matches from Sunday, November 29 through Saturday, December 26, the Duel of Swords staff will reward you with a surprise holiday present to be given out at the end of the month. We’ve got the presents all wrapped up, and they will be handed out at random, so even we’re not sure what you’ll get! But let’s just say that we’ve wrapped up some Challenge Grants, extra wins, and more!

Once you’ve hit four duels, we’ll hang your stocking on the Arena wall. And for each additional set of four duels, we’ll add another present into it!

So get out there and get in some duels and you’ll be guaranteed to get something nice this year!

(( For each character who has 4 or more regulation duels between 11/29 and 12/26, we will roll a 20 sided die. The result of this roll will determine the prize given. Prizes will then be given out based on highest to lowest number rolled. For each additional 4 duels, another roll will be given for an additional prize. Challenge grants are limited to one per character. If additional rolls earn multiple challenge grants, they will be replaced with 5 wins.

DoS staff will roll dice in the green room for all qualifying characters at the end of the event.

Stay tuned for the full prize list! ))

Thank you to all who participated, and Merry Yule!

(( OOC Information:

The Yuletide Barony Challenge Grant is a non-transferable grant that allows for the recipient to challenge for any Barony and is not subject to some Universal Terms of Challenge rules. Example: If used against a Loyal Baron under challenge, if used, this grant allows for the challenger to enter a challenge queue. This also allows the user to challenge a Loyal Baron even if they have defended during the calendar month. Once this grant has been used for a challenge and the challenge deemed valid by the Duel of Swords Staff, the grant cannot be returned. Therefore if it is used to enter a challenge queue, there is a risk the challenger may not face the Baron if the Baron is defeated by another challenger first. The Challenge Grant must be used within 30 days starting from today, so the final day the grant can be used is January 26th, 2021. This is not a Test-Free grant, so challengers still may be subjected to Tests of Worthiness.

Wins will be added on the next standings update.

Please reach out to me or another staff member if you have questions!

Thanks! ))
