434 World Jousting Tournament is the sixth worldwide tournament hosted by various organizations within Elanthia, including official orders as well as the Tavern Troupe Performing Order and the Ilithi Events Task Force.
Contestants qualify for one of six skill-based divisions. Winners of each qualifier receive a prize and are eligible to joust in the championship.
Rules
- Contestants may compete in any qualifier regardless of citizenship. (If a contestant fails to qualify, they may try again at the next qualifier.)
- Contestants will verify their skill in polearms and shield usage via the TELLEXP command. They will be placed in the appropriate division based on a formula of these two skills. The formula that will be used in every qualifier and the finals is the same. It is the sum of your polearm and shield divided by two.
- No spells of any kind are allowed to be in effect. (This is for simplicity, so that the hosts don't have to waste time arguing or consulting Elanthipedia to determine which spells might affect the outcome.)
- No stat or skill buffs are allowed. This includes (but is not limited to) spells, supernatural abilities, Empathic links, and constellation jewelry.
- Anyone found to be cheating will be automatically disqualified.
- No mulligans. If a contestant jumps off their horse to avoid impact (because they are not properly equipped), they forfeit the match.
- To avoid the appearance of impropriety at qualifiers, members of a host order will ideally compete in a qualifier that is hosted by another order. If this is not an option, the host order member's ranks must be verified by someone outside the host order.
The contestants will joust until one of them has earned a total of five points.
| Result | Points |
|---|---|

Qualifiers
Therengia
- Date: May 16th, 2020
- Location: ODS jousting arena
- Host: Order of the Dragon Shield
- Gift: a deep black leather war bridle accented with blued steel roses and diamonds. (Made of supple leather dyed a deep matte black, the thick strips of the bridle are accented with meticulously crafted blued steel roses along the braiding. Lined in soft black rabbit fur, the browband is decorated with a faceted diamond dragon's head that gazes fiercely forward. Blued steel plates engraved with Therengian roses protect the reins from being cut during battle, while the black reins are artfully painted with tiny bright blue roses blooming upon subtly shaded vines.)
