After all, which other nation so fundamentally understands the idea that life should never be dull? As such, they will be sending a herald or two to speak to the Brass Coast at 8pm on Friday to recruit some representatives. They are confident that any Freeborn war wizard will be a match for the champions of the other eternals, so rather than testing prowess with battle magic their heralds will be looking to pick those candidates who can show they've had the most exciting adventures.

	The [[Adamant\|Throne of Stone]] was one of the first eternals of the Summer ~~Realm~~ to select champions, but in the intervening months it seems that two of them have experienced some misfortune. As a result only '''Sejanus of Urizen''' is still around. The eternal has given Sejanus the responsibility of recruiting two additional magicians to represent the Dragon of Summer in the Tourney. The eternal apparently plans to equip their champions with [[magic items]] to give them an edge in the tourney; Adamant will sent one of the ''koboldi'' to meet with Sejanus and their teammates in the Hall of Worlds at 10pm on Friday. In the event Conclave is still ongoing they can retreat to the Imperial regio if need be.

	There was some uncertainty as to whether the [[Hayaak\|Gryphon King]] would be participating in the tourney - whether he still has enough power to be able to serve as a patron. All that can be said with any certainty is that ''Hayaak'' certainly thinks he can participate and like Meraud he selected his representatives during the Spring Equinox. Apparently they will be three winners of the contests held in the Forest of Affray; their exact identities are not currently known.

	~~The~~ ''[[Meraud\|The Summer Enchanter]]'' is one of two eternals who has a particularly keen interest in the Icy Crag given it was Meraud who "stole" patronage of the college from Cathan Canae when it was first built. There is little love lost between the two eternals where the college is concerned. [[With_a_flower,_with_a_flame#Meraud\|Last season]] the ''Golden Enchanter'' recruited a trio of champions through a contest of magical prowess. The three victors - '''Tiberius the Rainmage''' of [[Wintermark]], the [[Dawn\|Dawnish]] '''Tristan Wolfborn''' of House Wolfbourne, and '''Cedric Gallows''' of Navarr - will fight on his behalf. Meraud intends to send several heralds to the Tourney, and in addition to supporting his chosen champions, one of them has been charged with delivering the ''Churnspire regalia'' to the [[The_Net_of_the_Realms#A_Spire_for_Summer\|Churnspire Adjutor]] (assuming they have been appointed by that time).

	Like Meraud, the ''[[Cathan Canae\|Queen of Ice and Darkness]]'' has a very keen interest in becoming patron of the college given she was directly involved in building it in the first place before Meraud's "treachery" saw the ''Lord of Summer Stars'' "steal" the title from her. During the Spring Equinox, one of her heralds visited the Hall of the Worlds to "interview" Imperial heroes prepared to fight on her behalf. The three selected were '''Lanval Van Narood''' of House Orzel, the [[the Brass Coast\|Freeborn]] '''Esteban i DelRio Blanco i Guerra''', and the [[Kallavesi]] '''Runar Hval''' of Raven's Hold. A herald of Cathan Canae is due to meet the trio at the Dawnish Glory Square shortly before the tourney begins to deliver a potent gift from the ''Lady of the Blizzards'' to help fortify them for the difficult challenge ahead.

	Regardless of the outcome of the Tourney, the results are likely to stand for several years. The eternals don't view the passage of time the same way that mortals do, and unless there is some kind of unpredictable upheaval there will not be another challenge for the patronage of the Icy Crag before 387YE at the earliest. It is unlikely, but possible, that the tourney may end without a clear victory for one eternal or another. In this case, the college could be left without a patron for several years.

	it is likely that whichever eternal becomes patron they will wish to offer practical signs of their support to the College. Even as patron, however, they are likely to still need approval of the Conclave, and perhaps even a commission from the Senate, in order to provide such assistance.

	The interest of the [[Zakalwe\|Master Strategist]] in the Icy Crag has come as something of a surprise. His heralds apparently selected a team during the Winter Solstice, made up of magicians from Urizen, Navarr, and the League, but their identities are not public knowledge at this time. '''Rodrigo Barossa de Tassato Regario''' is believed to be involved in some capacity but, as they are not a magician, they will not be able to participate in the Tourney. Speculation is that they have been appointed as "manager" in some capacity and are putting a team of elite battle magicians together on behalf of the ''Hunter of Tides''. It seems likely that if Zakalwe does become patron of the ~~icy~~ Crag, any boon he offers will relate to the magic of war rather than specifically to Summer magic.
