	The Summer Eternal Cathan Canae has thrown down a gauntlet. After the successes of Dawn against the Jotun during the Spring Equinox, she has invoked the Drottningbjotha - the Queen's Challenge - and offers the Empire a chance to participate. With the presumption of a Queen of the Summer Realm she has announced her plans to hold the contest in the Dawnish Glory square during the Summer Summit.

	The excitement is due to start at three o'clock on Saturday. Each of the ten nations can put forward one champion, accompanied by a herald-announcer. Each bout is a one-on-one fight with a random opponent, and begins with a few minutes of "announcing" from the champion's herald. Think Odyssey arena announcing or the excesses of the WWF. Then they fight until only one is left standing. Once everyone has fought once, winners move on to next round. Ultimate winner gets a crown and an undisclosed boon from the Queen of Ice and Darkness.
