Party like Kings and Queens!
Held on Sunday, July 31st at 9 est during regulation dueling (Fight Night!), come out to Battlefield Park and have a haunting good time!
Tournament Rules:
-Tournament entrants will duel swords again the Battlefield Park Ghosts lead by Captain Morris!
-The “Ghosts” will be played by Warlords or Barons on “Ghost” alts. This will be a regulation duel so your win will count! The ghosts will all have zero rank which means no mods!
-The person to beat a Battlefield Park Ghost wins the squireship.
( If there is a tie for wins, the person who scored the most points against their ghost will win the squireship. Example: A win of 5-2 (3 points) will beat a win of 5-4 (1 point). If there is another tie (both win with a score of ex: 5-2,) then the winner will be the entrant who won in the fewest amount of rounds. )
If no entrant beats a ghost, then Baroness Gabrielle may choose her squire based upon performance. This may include total points scored, rounds fought, and style! )
-This is a one shot tournament meaning your character will duel 1 time against 1 ghost.
-Entrants are asked to be duelists who have never achieved Warlord rank on any character. Brand new duelists are of course welcomed and encouraged to enter!
Event will be held on ringsofhonor.org in the Chatroom: "Battlefield Park" (It will be open for the event)

Tournament Participants: Please SIGN UP your character in the tournament if you would like them to be in the running for the squireship. This will give us a better idea of how many “Ghosts” we need. No prior dueling experience is required!
The Winner will become the Squire of Battlefield Park. This means you get to use the Barony Weapon: A spear, which entitles you to 1 mod (fancy) during any regulation duel. The spear also possess power: Ability to turn incorporeal / Rumors of the original owners met untimely demises

Scene:
Battlefield Park Baronial Armory and out buildings are located deep within the forest on the Battlefield Park grounds. The official barony building is an abandoned stone armory that is nearly swallowed up with vines and plants. Guests are welcomed to explore the grounds and the buildings. The armory itself is largely left alone and not maintained but the grounds are manicured and even have hedge mazes and beautiful fountains.
Large oak community tables are set up on the grounds with comfortable seating for people to dine at. There are also chairs, rugs, and blankets spread around for lounging. For those who prefer to skirt the edges of the park there will hammocks and swings tucked away in trees and hidden within naturally created canopies to offer a bit of seclusion.
There will be lighting throughout the park and forest complete with lanterns, fairy lights, and candles.
The ghosts have been known to play practical jokes and have a bit of spooky fun, so be on the look out for (fake) headless corpses planted in the trees, spooky sounds, and the creepy crawly feeling of being watched or touched. We are told you can get on the ghosts’ good side by offering up weapons, alcohol, and treats at the armory. They’ve also been known to be appeased with a glimpse of a fine leg or two!
The rings for dueling will be raised so that it will be easier for those attending to view.
The callers will have also be seated on a dais to view the festivities.
You are welcome to “see” the ghosts, Captain Morris and his men or any others who have come out for the night. If your character cannot see ghosts, have fun with it and let your character react in whatever way they want.
The rings for the tournament will be of special design to expose the ghosts so that the entrants will be sure to see them as they fight.
Dress:
All attendees are encouraged to dress in “Old World” fashions and finery to appease the Ghosts. (At least we hope they will be pleased!) An example might be anything from the Renaissance era to the Victorian era and more! The limit is your imagination. Your character doesn’t feel like dressing up? That’s okay too!
Kurt’s Kostumes has graciously agreed to lend a variety of costumes for the evening. Find corsets, full skirts, dresses, gowns, top hats, canes, breeches, vests, poet shirts, joker costumes, crowns, and more! There will be a few curtained off changing areas for those who want to borrow a costume.
