In a Ancient times of Elyria was hold a Great tournaments there were "ancient" "honored" pure-blooded" "mud-blooded" "holy-warriors" "unholy-warriors" who fight for title and concubines (also gain lot of money and named ancient stone tablets with their names" (these tablets never found nowadays Elyria but tales tell they were there).
Ancients were noble blooded and fight only with noble blooded warriors.
Honored were later days of Elyria who won Ancient warriors a "fight till end for honor" and gained noble title from them.
pure-blooded were noble born but maybe not gained a title and fighting with mud-blooded warriors who are not a noble blood, both fighting for title and money and concubines.
Holy warriors were honored by their noble needs and were some religions Holy-warriors.
Unholy-warriors were pagan with no religion or not practiced it directly.
Tournaments were hold few months to years on Elyria different places and started north glaciers then winners goes to desert and then winners that place goes to swamp and after all tournaments ends a Elyrian fields places were so often changed so there was no "only-site" tournament area.
Warriors fighting with 30 arrows and bow and hunting animals and got spear and sword to fight against other warriors sometimes they just end battle when other running away from fighting scene to show "i surrender" and no words needed to show winner, sometimes someone just running away and winner was chosen already but he/she who was running away didnt realize that he/she losed a battle and attack to winner then guards come to help winner.
Tales tell that some tournaments lasts years from beginning and wars were fought but who were a tournament were no enemies to others. Also were told some spies and assassins were caught under tournaments and some success to kill their targets.
