The Huntress Guild presents the tenth annual Tournaments of Artemis--wow, a whole decade of Artemis!
These will once again be war-maneuver style tournaments with larger teams. You will be sorted onto teams at the beginning of the event. There will also be opportunities for smaller squad battles, individual match-ups, and challenges to earn points for your team throughout the day.
The primary goal of this event will of course, as always, be to center women in combat in the Realms. The Huntresses on each team will get to take a central role: they will serve as team captains, strategizing and leading their teams, and taking on crucial roles in combat. Furthermore, for the sake of encouraging combat, education, and trying new things, all Huntresses can choose to play a fighter for this one event. However, this is not required.
Anyone who is comfortable identifying as a woman or a Huntress may participate as a Huntress (non-binary folk are also welcome). Any woman can also come and play as a regular participant. Everyone is strongly encouraged to pre-reg (though paid pre-reg is not required), and all Huntresses MUST pre-reg by Monday, April 24th so that we can plan tournaments accordingly around you--MAKE A NOTE IN YOUR REG IF YOU PLAN TO PARTICIPATE AS A HUNTRESS.
We will be serving a late lunch/early dinner at this event, as well as providing light snacks throughout the day.
Please come out, participate or spectate, and support our Huntresses and women in combat in our community! Looking forward to seeing all my ladies (and everyone else too) on the tourney field!
