Announcing: "The inaugural Dog-in-Chains Pageant"

In days of olde; whenever knightes did wrong; penitence must be done.

The wrong doer would be arraigned in harsh condition (chains or stock) at the contest of two peers;

One friend, one foe would contest to decide on punishment.

Searching for a penitent knight, charged in the Court of the Despot, to surrender to the Dragon!
