Fighters of An Tir! If you would follow the path of prowess,
then make pilgrimage to Madrone for The Way of the
Sword–College of Tournament Arts. We invite students of all
levels to work with premier fighters of An Tir, hone new
skills on mentored practice fields, join
“Brown Bag with the Chivâ€
lunch discussions, and put skills to the ultimate test in
several small tournies. Non-fighters will find classes in
marshalling, heraldry, lists, tourney garb, and more. Bathe
in the beautiful river and leave the cooking to us! College
culminates with a prize tourney on Sunday afternoon.
