The Great Stag is king of the forest The horns on his head proclaim his majesty He is fast, faster than all others He is both powerful and agile The Great Stag can defeat any opponent

The tournament to crown a new Great Stag is BACK! Join us for this fun-filled ALL RANKS tournament to celebrate Beltane and compete to be crowned The Great Stag.

This tournament will also serve as the Panther’s Claw Tournament for this cycle.

Setting The directions for the tournament lead along a raised, wooden path through tall grasses to one of the many sea inlet areas south of RhyDin.

When the tall reeds gave way, there is a thick, foot-sucking stretch of tidal mud (left over from the current low tide) with treacherous pools of brackish water here and there making footing difficult to find. Careful where you step because competitors may find sharp clamshells and nipping crabs in the mud.

There are a few pieces of wood sticking up out of the mud for those competitors who might want to try to reach the high ground. A deep river of salt water winds its way nearby, the perfect place to toss the competition when they’re done.

Everyone better hope they fight fast because the tide is set to come in starting at 8:30pm and that river of salt water is going to steadily encroach on the muddy area, making it even harder to stand and fight.

To remove someone from the field of competitors, toss, knock, trip, or kick them into the water! They might actually appreciate the chance to get clean. For those not fighting, a large dock stands at the end of the path, hopefully far enough away from the splash zone. It is particularly posh with tables and lounge furniture. There is also a dedicated bar area, fully stocked and surrounded by some tables and chairs. Spectators have access to holo screens and televisions here. There are aerial cameras flitting around the mud field, getting close-up shots to be enjoyed now and replayed countlessly on the evening news.
