BlackFeatherTournament

The Black Feather Tournament

Sometime ago, somewhere unknown...

A single large black candle stood in the centre of a circular table. It's light barely spread to the edges of the table, cloaking those that sat around it in inky darkness.

"The council has gathered", spoke a female voice from one side of the table. The darkness in her voice caused the large cat at the feet of one of the figures to shift uneasily.

One by one, six hands were placed on the table, a sign of their agreement; the light of the candle glinted off six identical silver rings. The hands slid back into darkness.

A hooded head that barely reached over the table leaned forward, "I have reports the Dark Iron dwarves are restless again. It is said that they gather for battle, maybe on Ironforge itself."

There were mumbles around the table, which were silenced by a clear haunting voice accompanied by the rustling of feathers, "We will send in a group to quell their ambitions".

A male voice spoke, "We must be careful, the dark iron dwarves are strong and numerous. We must send only our best."

"And most loyal", added a female voice with a heavy Draenei accent.

The clear voice akin to birdsong spoke, "We shall test them and mark the strongest". There was a rustle of feathers and a feathered paw slid a large, glossy black feather onto the table.

One by one, the six hands were once again placed into the light of the candle.

And so the Black Feather Tournament came to be and has been since. The tournament is a bit of fun and competition between the members, and to provide an opportunity to test and observe those suitable for certain more dangerous quests. Councillors, or their agents, are often present (often in secret), to see firsthand any new and rising talents the guild has to offer.

Rules are decided for each occasion, and depend on number of participants, skill and level considerations, and environment. Typical ones are a "cup" and "tournament".
