Prepare for the Grand Melee

Days of Ice and Fire hosts the 2012 A Game of Thrones Regional Championship

“I have seen a hundred tournaments and more wars than I would wish, and however strong or fast or skilled a knight may be, there are others who can match him. A man will win one tourney, and fall quickly in the next.”

    –Arstan Whitebeard, A Storm of Swords
