Editing Ang Ri (section)

===[[Dragon Wing Races]]===
Championships in speed and acrobatics involving all Members of the [[Council of the Wing-Ang Ri]]

The rules are that the race has two parts: Distance & Display.

All 13 regional victors, 4 competitors voted on by the citizenry of Ang Ri, and 3 competitors forced to participate on the day of the race, line up at the red line of the areana. The race to the markers across the continent and back to the areana is the distance portion.  

In the arena each loop they have time to do acrobatic display. The cheers of the crowd denote the victor each round. Victory in a round has perks of many types spread out over the years. Food, priority, Mating Rights, Council veto, council votes, and others.

The race continues till each competitor is eliminated. The distance portion may include short wing fights. Wing fights in the arena are allowed when only 8 remain and last only to first blood.  Pulling out of the race is considered dishonorable and effects all the dragon's affairs till the next Arena Race.


The two finalists are declared '''Consels''.

The two losers have their tails amputated and ceremonial eaten that evening at the Victory Dinner. They must with draw from public life till their tails grow back. With magic no less the two years.  Sometimes as much as twenty. Or up to centuries if someone magically hinders healing.
