Description

Yearly, the High King of Endor, the First Mountain, hosts a week of tourneys in various martial skills. These range in category and format from year to year, however they usually encompass several types of self-contained events. Traditionally, these events have been held at the Arena in the Kazak Zorn, the Level of War, in the city, however this has not always been the case.
The week of the tournaments is often accompanied by festivities and other celebrations near the arena. Gambling is also rampant throughout the many taverns and halls of the dwarven city.
