Grand Olympian

Winner of Olympiad

What is it?

Each year an Olympiad is held. It's location rotates through out the kingdoms giving everyone a chance to participate. At Olympiad there is a War Tourney and a Arts and Sciences Tourney. Each person participating receives a point total for each tourney. the person with the most points wins the overall contest and the title of Grand Olympian for that year. The Winners of the individual tourneys are called the Cultural Olympian and the War Olympian.

How do you earn it?

The bare fact is that your point total must be higher than every one else's. This does not necessarily mean that you will also be declared the Cultural or War Champion. In truth becoming the Grand Olympian is both simple and hard. Each year, just as it is held in a different place it is also held by different people who run different styles of tourney. So by virtue of this and the fact that the traveling event is sometimes not as well attended as it should be, so sometimes an outlander from and area of a different skill level will come to the event and sweep it.
