			==Resolution==
			By all accounts, the fayre was a glorious time. The final tourney of the Grand Tour was won by '''Rhydian de Rondell'''. The Senate voted to [[386YE_Autumn_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Amend_Challenger_in_Waiting\|amend]] the Challenger in Waiting to have it be appointed by the Dawnish Assembly and to remove the tourney.

Any participant can choose to name someone to champion them in the fighting, or find someone who would be willing to don their [[Dawn_hearth_magic#Girding\|girding]].

	In all, just sixteen citizens had the dedication and commitment to compete in every stage of the Grand Tour. Almost all of them are Dawnish of course, several questing knights and witches as well as a knight errant, an earl, a troubadour, an enchanter. Besides these ardent seekers of glory are two unlikely figures, a retainer from House Vexille and a [[sentinel]] from [[Morrow]] in [[Urizen]]. Whatever their status, noble or yeofolk, ''all sixteen'' are invited to compete together in the final stage of the Grand Tour.

	Provided the Glory Square is available, Lady Griffonsbane will host this final contest in the Square, immediately after the [[Dawn_culture_and_customs#The_Grand_Tourneys\|Grand Tourney]] to elect the [[Knight-protector]] and the senatorial voting is concluded (expected to be shortly after 2:30 on Saturday). Rather than a grand melee, Lady Griffonsbane the contest will be a sequence of one-on-one fights, with the winner of each bout proceeding to the next round. The only thing that is not allowed is the use of potions during a bout, though the competitors are allowed to refresh themselves with a potion while waiting to face their next opponent.

	The Challenger in Waiting has a responsibility to scrutinise the Virtue of any potential challengers to the Monarch of Dawn. In practice it is not completely clear what this actually means. One suggestion is that it is the challenger's job to organise the martial forces of Dawn to oppose those who line up in support of the Throne should they challenge for the position of Monarch of Dawn - thus allowing them to "scrutinise the Virtue" of the challenger. But other's believe the title's responsibilities imply that the position is intended to verify the Virtue of those who put themselves forward to oppose the Monarch of Dawn, perhaps by challenging them to combat.

It was elected the following season, but the election proved contentious. House Orzel have always been a very martial house, and it seems that the new position was intended to follow that tradition. The announcement stated that the position be appointed following a tourney in the same style as the seasonal grand tourneys that appoint the Knights-protector. However there is no legal requirement for the National Assembly of Dawn to follow this convention and after the first contest concluded the National Assembly chose the '''Earl of Fools'''.

	The Challenger in Waiting has a responsibility to scrutinise the Virtue of any potential challengers to the Monarch of Dawn. In practice it is not completely clear what this actually means. One suggestion is that it is the challenger's job to organise the martial forces of Dawn to oppose those who line up in support of the Throne should they challenge for the position of Monarch of Dawn - thus allowing them to "scrutinise the Virtue" of the challenger. But other's believe the title's responsibilities imply that the position is intended to verify the Virtue of those who put themselves forward to oppose the Monarch of Dawn, perhaps by challenging them to combat.
