THE STORY
Across the dune lands of India blows a harrowing story.
It is the tale of a Prince, a brave and noble man with the ability to shift his handsome features into that of a black-bear.
The Prince was much loved by his people, and where ever he went he instilled peace in those who served him. He spread joy through them, with his dances and wonderful songs. The man was an inspiration.
But peace is only the time to be preparing for war.
A war came, a dark and dangerous and deadly war, that killed and pilfered, that burnt and captured, that caused ruin and chaos and complete despair.
And the Prince was lost.
So full of the warmth of peace, his people did not know how to stand and fight, they did not understand that a swords edge drew blood and that death would come upon them regardless of how handsome the smile of a man they worshiped.
Vanity fought on the side of evil and the people were left in ruin.
From out of that fable, a tournament has arisen.
The TOURNAMENT of the DANCING BEAR
Marking the anniversary of the deaths of many this tournament encourages brave and bold men and women to stand and fight in tribute for those who lost their lives simply because they did not know how to lift a sabre or spear.
In mark of their respects for the dead; brave fighters are pitted against each other and animals in a gruesome battle royal until there is just one victor.
And that victor is bestowed the greatest of valour and honour.
