In Croatia life is peaceful , The people of Theiss welcome peace for their brothers in Poland and expect it to last a long time. The fear of Pechenegs attack still is weary there , but in time they are simply forgetting about it.
In other provinces of Croatia things are mostly the same , Nobles from Croatia are gathering in Istria and mustering all they can to show their prowness and good lucks.
Marculius is known by the polish sword he carries , highly decorated and beautiful , It's even more beautiful with how he weild's it. Some wager that he'll win both of the competitions. The melee is one thing , the duel is another. But more and more people are sure that He'll win.
Atharnic a peaceful Prussian knight , who joined Croatia has been preparing for the tournament aswell.
Ban Moroplovac is not preparing for the tournament as other knights. He is worrying about the stat affairs and how to attract more nobles to join the tournament , to be the greatest that Croatia has ever had. He already dispatched letters to other kingdoms about the tournament , but now at least there has been no answer. Ban suspects that war is going to come to Europe very soon , others might not feel it but he does.

Elsewhere in Aquileja the massive boats are being built. By the order of the King there should be a navy ready to be dispatched anywhere in Europe. The Mighty city of Venice now in Control of Croatia is growing and spreading to nearby regions.
The People in Venice are more italian than Croatian , but they all live in peace and harmony. The ships are painted with Croatian coat of arms , but crests are from Venician people. Although there are many italian admirals and captains there are a few Croatian captains that paint their sails with Uskok crests and similar.

In Ravenna things are going quite better. The Bishops enjoy their lives in Ravenna , being close to the Papal states makes them feel safer. They spread christianty even with more strenght and power.
Being a bishop state the people there live in the farms , some learn the old languages and others just build churches in Ravenna.
The King called Ravenna one of the best bishrioptics in Croatia.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Tournament is being organized all around Istria.
In villages there are local tournaments to win the chance to get into the great tournament. In the city more and more swords are being bought and used.
Lots of local nobles instead of fighting each other settled their personal things aside and were readiying themselfs for the tournament.
All in all the Croatian people are excited about the tournament and hope more nobles would join the tournament.
Parata sedes tua!
