**** House Taivassalama's ****
10th Annual St Urhos Tourney --- 10 Mar 2012!!!
Know that long ago, in far Finland, the wine crop was threatened by
hoards of Grasshoppers. Into the maelstrom of Vinter's difficulty stepped a Giant
of a Man, Urho, Mighty Urho, who with his pitchfork chased the evil Grasshoppers from
all of Finland. Forever earning him the love and honor due a Finnish Saint..Saint Urho!!!
His Heroic deed is commemorated every March the day before St Patricks Day
(some 2nd rate Irish Saint) and we, the members of House Taivassalama, hold a
Wonderous Tournament in his honor WITH FABULOUS PRIZES!!!!
Also featuring Kubb**, the game that swept Atlantia. I know Kubb is Swedish...but Kyykkä (The much better Finnish version) pretty much requires snow and ice or a gravel field.
**Kubb is a throwing game where teams try to knock down the opposing side's pieces with a short throwing stick.
