Unbelted Champions
From EastKingdomWiki
The Unbelted Champions (or "Unbelts") are a small group of fighters chosen by Their Majesties each year to represent the East at Pennsic in a single small melee battle. This battle is usually fought after the opening ceremonies and is worth a War Point. None of these fighters can be a Knight or Master at Arms. This battle is part of a series of Champion's Battles. The Unbelted Champions battle was first fought at Pennsic IX, and in the early years it was not fought every war. The East Kingdom won the first three times it was held, so it was a contested negotiating point when the war was being negotiated, but in time it became a traditional part of the war and grew more regular.
It is important to note that these are the teams that were announced before Pennsic. Due to things like injury, scheduling conflicts, or other life incidents, the team that actually took the field was not necessarily the same one that was announced.
"Forsaking All Others", commissioned by Estgar æt Hrofecaestre and written by Aneleda Falconbridge, is considered the theme song of the Unbelts.
The Captain of the Unbelted Tygers bears the East Kingdom artifact, The Chain of the Faithful.
