	To be eligible, one must only an imperial mage who believes they are capable in battle magic, and will also be available at the following summit. Use of any wondrous artefacts and potions to increase their potence is encouraged, although contestants may wish to be aware that the ever flowing magic of the Summer ~~Realm~~ will be in abundance for them to use in this contest. Naturally, the winners will be handsomely rewarded by the Summer Magician. And should they win the Summer tournament, cementing Meraud's position as the patron of the college, he will grant them both audience and favour.

	Imperial Citizens should remember that Surut, The Charred Prince is under neutrality. The visit to meet his Heralds is therefore permitted by Conclave. The casting of the Tribute to the Thrice Cursed Court is of course currently prohibited under Conclave's rules. This is because Skathe of the ~~Thriced~~ Cursed Court is under ~~Enmity~~.

The Forest of Affray is reached via a Summer regio, and while Barien has opened the borders of that regio, they can only be crossed by someone with Hayaak's blessing. On Friday evening, a herald of Hayaak willvisit Anvil and give tokens to the five people Hayaak invites to create teams to face his competition.

	These candidates for the favour of Hayaak are '''Morien''' who has made himself indispensable ~~(with the understanding that they speak also with House Tallstag when putting together their team)~~; the '''Eternal Family''' of Navarr, who have aided greatly; the '''Guild of Hunters''' whose love of the hunt is known to the Hawk Lord; '''Archmage Luke''' (or an associate should Luke wish to remain neutral in this matter); the '''Voices of the Unbound Storm''' who have attracted Barien's attention and are included by his will as part-payment for allowing Hayaak to use the Forest of Affray in this way.

	Each team should consist of three battle magicians who are willing to fight in the Grand Magical Melee for the Summer College, and two others who will support them. Those who fight should expect challenges with heralds and guardians of the Summer Realm in order to earn feathers that proclaim their skill. Some will be fast moving, others at a slower pace. They should fight the same way they would in the tourney - with mage armour and implement - to show the Hawk Lord their skill. Those who accompany them will not fight, and will instead be in a safe area in the woodland. It is some distance to reach it, but they will have no need to move once there and seating will be available. Their challenges will be of a different nature		Each team should consist of three battle magicians who are willing to fight in the Grand Magical Melee for the Summer College, and two others who will support them.

	The Forest of Affray (of which more in a moment) has been opened to Imperial citizens,and is clearly too good an opportunity for Barien to resist. Revel, one of Barien's favoured heralds, let's it be know that there are certain Winterfolk completing a [[Challenge the Iron Duke]] who have also been invited to the Forrest of Affray, their visit is foreseen at a different time from ~~Hayaaks~~ challenge, and they will be contacted directly.

	In addition the Lord of the Crossroads also invites the cadets of the Academy of Heroes to come and take part in a series of special Hunts in the Forest of Affray. The Academy will need to organise three different teams to take part. One team will be hunting a team strong and obdurate warriors. One team will be hunting a group sly quick moving summer spirits. One team will be fighting a terrifying monster. They cadets should certainly seek out [[the Three Refrains]] to learn more about the possible Prey they may face. These hunts will take place at 15:45 on the Saturday of the Spring Equinox.

	The Iron Confederacy is by all accounts [[On_the_outside_looking_inside#Dumon_and_Arav\|experiencing a period of unrest]].The depredations of the Hand of Dumon have lead the priesthood of Arav the Silent Judge to crack down on magicians - and not everyone who comes to their attention considers themselves a servant of that dark ~~Surannid~~ god. Mere hours before the Spring Equinox summit is due to begin, a herald of Meraud appears at the Imperial Regio with an urgent message for the Grandmaster of the Celestial Arch. Meraud would very much like their assistance in rescuing a small group of renegade magicians attempting to get across the border from Arbonne into the sanctuary of southern Segura. Unfortunately, their efforts to flee have brought them to the attention of the priesthood of Arav, who are even now closing in on their position.

	The herald knows that one of these magicians is a friend of Meraud, and the others are equally innocent of any involvement with Dumon. They are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Meraud considers the Celestial Arch are the Conclave Order with the most experience in negotiation and compromise. He asks that the Grandmaster gather a group - and to be on the safe side include battle magicians as well as negotiators - and meet his herald at the [[Sentinel Gate]] at around quarter to eight on Friday evening for a trip to '''Kalino Tower''' - a watchtower right on the southern border of the Brass Coast.
