As the weapon-smiths hammered away at the new dents in his axe blade, removing the chips of the edges,
The Grand Master of the Georgian Teutonic Order of Knighthood looked on.
As the Armorer and tailors repaired his Leathers he looked on at the precision they used to achieve his expectations.
We need the combat, but not the conflict. I feel we need the field of true contest of skills not friendly fights with men we already know much of. A tournament . It will also introduce us to the world around Georgia.
If others need us, they need first to KNOW about us. I think an invite to a tournament should help improve our image and reputation. Even if we lose we will be remembered when the bandages come off our opponents.
Maybe that will show them we mean Business. Get us hired to fight so they can lose less of their OWN blood?
As long as we earn a reputation, we can get better as we go until we are priceless!.
So A date was set and a place selected. Invitations sent!

He surely wished the peasants had understood the purpose and NOT sided with his men against the numerically superior force. But it did make him proud of the reputation of his men that they would do that for him.
