Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

Left.

-- So it was for a long time, and in Legrane the line is still quite thin. Some people are simply rotten -- that will show there just as much as here. Alright, our first round is about to begin. Good luck -- let us wish each other to meet in the finals.


Cassius's first opponent, an elderly Legranian, greets the baron with a barely noticeable nod before putting on his helmet. A sad sight -- a man at the twilight of his life, in plain armor, not a single ribbon on his lance, neither glory nor victory has interested him for a long time now; only habit drives him to clash again and again while he can still stay in the saddle. Cassius notices that the opponent's horse looks far sturdier and more purebred than Mrak -- perhaps this will affect his choice of target for the strike.

so, are there any bets? is there a list of participants or we go along as things unfold?

Bets are accepted by a company of Silentium merchants; for them, any battle is either war or sport, but always business. Sport means bets, bets mean profit, and profit is the best thing in this world -- such is their life creed. 
-- Greetings, fighter! Who are we betting on? Right now you can place bets on three finalists, on wins in the next round, and on who knocks whom out of the saddle. We warn you right away -- the bookmaker takes 5%
