Dunno

Um, I'm back. It's only one competition isn't it? I'll do swordsmanship. And I'll have a try at riddling. Will the guy announce them with, "Riddle me this..."?

I am sure you will find out!

Ok, what arrangements do people want to make for either practicing or social interaction?

I'm willing to practice sword fighting with any man or woman.

besides that I'd like to go and talk to which ever lord is available

I'll practice with whomever is available. Hopefully youngish sons of Lords.

Do I have contacts within the military I could talk to and train with?

Not at all hard for you to find such practice, but remember practice is also used as a means of qualification here- and that has to be a bit more impartial. You can bring friends, but not show off your heritage (else the top guys would have an unfair advantage).

Is anyone going to practice with another player?

All Lords are available.

sure I will, and after or before that I'd like to meet up with Lord Farael.

You know- it's odd. Farael seems to be apart from the rest of the Council, who are all more or less in the same area. He doesn't seem to be associating with them. Actually, he's not associating at all; he's leaning against a wooden balcony, looking at the crowd. Even stripped of his armour, Farael is a large and impressively powerful man.

"Argentis, isn't it?" he says, when you approach. "From the Eotheod."

"Yes indeed lord Farael. I was wondering if we could have a little conversation?"

"Speak away."

"Well I was wondering if you could help me with some pointers of how to talk to the other lords. I got off on a rough start with (that guy I had a fight with when we were travelling in the downs) and since I plan on staying here until the war is over I think it is of vital importance that I work that out, and learn some manners in the proces.
The reason I picked you is because you appear to be the kind of man that reminds me of home. Strong, straight and not too keen on those lil, dare I say girly, details"

"Yes, which is precisely why I can't help you. My ways are not theirs, and I am afraid that Lord Gorlim is no great friend of mine either."

"Ok, I suspected that might be the answer but maybe you could tell me a bit about yourself"

He turns to look at you.

"Why the curiosity?"

Well, Darvan would like to offer to spar with any of the Lord's children who are looking for a partner.

We don't show off our heritage because the top guys would have the advantage? Who exactly are the top guys?

I'll practice with anyone who's willing to....

What at?

Well, I was planning on doing archery and swordsmanship.

The Dunadan Lords. As they control all the armed forces, they'd have rather better access to orofessional sparring partners.

As it is, they practice either at random or with their friends, like everyone else.
