==Golden Axe of Atlantia==

The Challenge of the Golden Axe of the East was shamelessly stolen from the Iron Ring in the Rapier community. Atlantia acknowledges that this appears to be a great way to encourage TW community and some good-natured competition and has shamelessly stolen this idea from the East. In Atlantia, the Golden Axe Challenge will begin with an axe Tourney at War of the Wings in 2024.

===How to acquire the Axe===
The only way to acquire the Golden Axe of Atlantia is to challenge the current holder. The format of the challenge is fixed and shall be strictly followed to insure this does not alter from its original intent:

To declare the challenge, the challenger addresses the current holder and says, 'I request the Challenge of the Golden Axe'.
The proper responses from the current holder are 'I accept your challenge' or 'I am forbidden from accepting your challenge'.

The Golden Axe may only be exchanged once in any given day; if another challenger requests a Challenge to the new holder on the day they have won the axe from another, the holder is required to decline the Challenge. Otherwise, the holder may accept up to three Challenges in a given day, assuming the holder is the victor of each preceding Challenge that day.

The holder of the Golden Axe is required to accept the first Challenge in a day. The second and third Challenges are optional, and the holder should only accept those if they feel that they can show sufficient prowess and stamina after the exertions of the first Challenge.

Once the challenge is issued, it should be taken up as soon as is reasonable. (And really be reasonable here - if the challenged holder would like time to warm up, that's acceptable. If they are called away suddenly by an important commitment or royal command, that is also acceptable. "Calling dibs" on a challenge immediately after the current one may be acceptable, but calling dibs for tomorrow and expecting that challenges be refused until then is not.)

A challenger for the Golden Axe may only issue a single challenge per day.

Terms for what the contest will be determined by the participants. The challenger, as part of the challenge, will name the terms of the contest at the time of the challenge. Suggested terms are: Number of throws, distance(s), hard or soft target, hand position, etc. The holder of the Axe can change ONE of the terms (distance, number of throws, method of throw, etc.).

Throwers must comply to the safety standards of the Marshal in Charge of the range, Atlantian rules, and SCA rules.

Weapons must be SCA and Atlantian rules legal. If it looks like an axe and throws like an axe, it's an axe. It is up to the competitors if weapons such as a double bladed axe, cleaver, or shovels will be allowed. Only the competitors can determine if something is fair or not.

The Golden Axe may not reside outside of it's Kingdom's borders. As such, it will revert to the previous holder if the current holder moves from the Spear's home kingdom or stops playing.

The Golden Axe belt favor shall be displayed prominently while at events and practices so potential challengers may know who is the current holder.

Lastly, it is the duty of the outgoing holder of the Golden Axe to make sure the incoming holder is fully aware of these rules.
