On Wednesday, April 26th, the Cleftlands lists were opened up to all armored combatants to test their mettle in the bi-annual tournament. Numerous inspired combatants stepped forth and took to the lists. When the flurry of rattan, sweat, and dramatic deaths slowed and the last blows were counted, one armored combatant emerged victorious and earned the right to carry the Cleftlands sword. Congratulations to the Lord Avanger of Brendoken for winning the tournament and to Lady Æthelwynn Skerra Dimma for winning the esteem of the ladies gallery.
In addition to the armored festivities, the office of the seneschal changed hands from the honorable Lady Gianna Vettori to Lord Cadfan of Cleftlands.
