Questions about the Tourney

I'm wondering about the IC rules for this tournament. Are there certain items or anything that are disallowed, like poison on a weapon for example? Is the fighting area just a big enclosed field or will there be obstacles and stuff that we can jump on, push over, et cetera? Do we all just start fighting each other at once, or is it a few at a time?

Thanks!

Each match-up will include 4-6 Shards, and all match-ups in the first round will be fought simultaneously. There will be several arenas, all of which will include various obstacles and terrain variations, probably elemental in nature. Survivors from the first round will fight each other for the right to be the Sword of the God-King.

The rules are: no help from outside the arena, and you must kill your opponents. Death in close-combat is preferred (as that way you get to keep the Shard power), but killing your opponent with ranged or indirect attacks, or by environmental hazards, is also allowed. Each match continues until there is only one Shard remaining.

Oh, and incidentally: anyone who kills someone who was Wanted in Azitolca or generally receives Treasure equal to the Wanted level of the deceased.
