Essen Tasch of 1820

The Essen Tasch of 1820 was held in Red London, Arnes, and organized by Prince Rhy Maresh.
==Overview==
===Background===
Because Kisimyr Vasrin won the previous Essen Tasch in Vesk, the tournament of 1820 takes place in Arnes. King Maxim Maresh appointed his son, Prince Rhy, as the main organizer and host of the event. His mother, Queen Emira, and two ostra attendants, Lisane and Parlo, assisted him; they mainly oversaw the accomodations for the foreign emissaries, Prince Col and Princess Cora Taskon of Vesk and Lord Sol-in-Ar of Faro.
Rhy petitioned Tieren Serense, who is in charge of selecting the Arnesian participants for the tournament, to allow his brother Kell Maresh to compete under an alias, despite him being an Antari and, thus, not allowed to participate. Understanding the necessity of Kell's attendance, Tieren reluctantly added him to the rooster.
===Arenas===
The three arenas are temporary buildings that float on the Isle; they can be reached via bridges. The stadiums are made of stone and octagonal in shape; canvas stretches over each of them.
Rhy designed the three arenas and commissioned the best metal- and earthworkers in Arnes to create them.
* Eastern arena: It is covered in sculpted scales, and ice dragon statues in the Isle circle the arena.
* Central arena: It is covered in fabric feathers, and canvas birds fly over it.
* Western arena: It is covered in grassy fur, and eight stone lions are the arena's posts. Each lion has a different pose, "a captured moment in the narrative of predator and prey."
