Tournament and Sport
On Dueling
There is to be no dueling or sparring with any of our enemies. We are at war,
not a friendly game of tiddlywinks .. combat is reserved for the honorable
field, not the training exercises of the arena. This applies to all those
who are enemies of the Keep and evil at heart.

Gwaine: Response to the call to the Tourney.
Thu Jan 5 13:32:35 2012
To: Knighthood ( Imm Immortal Immortals )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Men and women of Gareth's Keep,
The prompt response by many is certainly reassuring for our efforts in the
Tourney this year. I look forward to fighting beside you.
The Pages of the Keep who wish to avail themselves for the Tourney must
complete their Page tasks and earn their squireship. This is the only
requirement set those whom would represent the Keep in the Tourney.
I would like to encourage those whom have not notified Captain de'Troyes of
their availability to do so immediately. Our first match is scarce five
days hence.
If you have any specific lack, be it in weapons or armors, make it clear in
your missive, that we can begin to gather what is needed.
d'Aggravaine, Crown.

Gwaine: Criteria to participate in the AGL.
Fri Jan 7 08:38:28 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gareth's,
Those who seek to participate in the AGL, find here the criteria demanded
before such permission is granted by the Keep.
1. The individual must have progressed after knighting to specialising
either as Knight of the Crown, Knight of the Lance, or Knight of
the Shield Clerists or Guardians.
2. The individual must be of good standing in the Keep, with permission
to participate in the AGL. This permission remains granted so long
as the individual remains in good and active standing with the Keep.
3. The individual must be properly equipped for his guild and show suitable
knowledge of tactics and strategy.
4. The individual must present themselves to an officer of the Shield, to
to explain their reasons for participating in the AGL. The Shield
officer shall submit a brief report on this to the Generals of the Keep.
5. The individual must duel an officer of the Lance, to demonstrate their
ability in single combat. The Lance officer shall submit a brief report
to the Generals of the Keep.
6. Finally, the individual will need meet with the General of the Crown
for final permission. If approved, the individual will be given a
standard bearing the Keep insignia to bear into the arena.
Men and women of Gareth's who fight in the Arena need remember that at all
times, they stand as representatives of this Keep. As such, the highest
standards of decorum and behaviour are demanded.
Those who participate shall also make offering of any sums they earn, a
quarter to the Gray Order, a further quarter to the coffers of Althainia.
If there are further questions on this, do revert to me.
d'Aggravaine, Crown.

Sir Rassilon Shiroken
Lord Rithor Thorne

Gwaine: Lanistas and the AGL.
Fri Apr 22 20:42:00 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gareths,
You are doubtlessly better familiar than I with these new developments in
the AGL allowing slavery, and slaves fighting to the death in the AGL.
Till now, there has been no restriction from this Keep on viewing and
betting on the activities in the Arena.
Indeed, given the last discussions with the Del'nichi's, we have come to
accomodate even participation in the AGL by those who have met this Keep's
criteria in securing permission to do so.
Whilst this can be accomodated with those whom choose to undertake these
risks of their own free will, where this is been demanded of those who are
bound by slavery - this Keep absolutely rejects such and demands of each
whom is sworn to this Keep to do the same.
In this, I mean attending Lanista events and betting on the outcome of such.
Think well on our virtues and purpose before you risk your place in this
Keep by supporting such events which are anathema to this Keep's existence.
d'Aggravaine, Crown.

Guidelines for participating in the ACFL
Thu Apr 28 00:56:34 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Men and women of Gareths,
I have considered the previous guidelines issued for the ACFL
and decided that for the benefit of this Keep and enforcement
thereof, certain amendments are necessary.
1. All the rules and guidelines of the Keep remain in force,
except where amended below for the ACFL, and ACFL only.
2. To be drafted for a team does not mean you suspend your oath
as a knight. Hence, only those who have taken a knights oath
will be given permission to register in the ACFL. If you had
registered in the ACFL before entering the Keep, speak to me
for special dispensation as a non-knighted Keep member to
participate.
3. If you are drafted by an owner who serves evil, you are absolved
from any slur on your honor in breaking that contract, by choosing
not fulfill it. All of Algoron knows of our stance with those of
Evil, any owner that chose to ignore this, then let them deal with
the consequences.
4. If you decide to field for a team owned by evil, be prepared
to accept the disciplinary consequences of the Keep.
5. Our standard regulations do not permit us to enter formation with
those of evil. If a team owner employs those of evil aura
this you cannot control, therefore allowance will be made for this.
Knights will not be censured for fielding in a team that have
team members who are not of the Light or Balance.
6. You are expected to maintain knightly conduct at all times, and
behave in a manner that brings credit to this Keep. Through the ACFL
we shall show them the glory and virtue of the Light, and spark a
change in these groups.
7. Fratenising with our enemies is forbidden. You may attend team
strategy meetings and events as required by your owner, but
mingling socially with our enemies beyond this is not allowed.
8. Participation in the ACFL is being granted to further the cause of
the Light. If you prove yourself unworthy, through your actions
to serve as a true example of the Keep, your privilege to participate
may be revoked as part of your punishment.
If you wish clarification, speak with me.
d'Aggravaine, Crown.

Gwaine: Algoron World Games.
Fri Aug 12 16:16:32 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gareths,
The time is upon us for the Algoron World Games. The Althainian Empire, as
always shall field for it.
This Keep has ever had strong bonds with the Empire. Indeed, many amongst
us have taken shelter in the Empire during our time preparing to enter the
Keep.
It is in this spirit, and for the cause of triumph of one of our staunchest
allies in the Light, that this missive is scribed.
I shall be sponsoring two sets of papers on behalf of House d'Aggravaine,
for two members of the Keep to assist Althainia in the Games effort. Those
of Gareth's who are knighted and in good standing shall be eligible for such
papers.
Those whom seek to aide Althainia, seek a place in the Althainian Team by
offering your service to Emperor Mamoritai. Once the Emperor confirms
acceptance in writing to myself, the necessary paperwork will be done to
ensure your return to the Keep once the games are done.
Knights who have their own funding to return to the Keep may apply directly
to myself or one of the Generals.
Those who have not such shall need await confirmation from the Empire that
such funding will be provided. Kindly secure this confirmation from the
Emperor by missive copied to the Generals of the Keep, so that appropriate
leave may be granted.
d'Aggravaine, Crown.
