Jousting

The second day of the tournament had started and the arena was already full of nobles and royalty waiting to watch their favorite squires in action. The event started with cheering crowds, trumpet tunes and pillars of fire reaching up to the skies.

The arena had been separated with three long wooden rails spread all over the 300-feet width of the place.

Within the span of one day, the previous archery arena has turned into three jousting lines.

Jousting was, in a way, an early training for the squires to see how they would perform in a cavalry charge.

During a charge, knights must know how to control their rides, so it remains running straight in accordance with the formation. It necessitates riding skills, balance, dexterity to aim the lance, and courage under the unrelenting and high-pressure atmosphere of a battlefield.
