Ball Games
Goat Ball,

This is an Orc game that originated in Scandar and spread down to Torlund as a way to try and promote peace between the countries, that didn't really work. From there Duthgar, Drazia Dynasty and Carthorka picked it up and occasionally send teams teams to play in Torlund who have an official league even though its not that popular. The game is played across a field of wooden columns no more than a meter or two in circumference with two shields hanging about 1 meters from either end of the field of columns. The game is played by two teams of 8 players with up to five players on the field at any time, the two teams try to score points by hitting the shields at the opposing end of the field with a hard leather ball made of goats skin. As the two teams work their way across the field jumping from column to column the other players are allowed to use almost any methods to knock the opposing team off of the columns, this often looks like either pushing them from their perch or chasing them to cause them to fall themselves in their haste as well as hitting them with the ball mid jump or simply hard enough. Once a player has been knocked from the columns they are out of the game and one of the three reserves may enter the field, the game ends when either one team has scored 5 points or knocked all 8 opponents off of the field.

In Torlund the league games are played with the columns erected over pools of water while, unofficial games tend to simply use very short columns to reduce the risk posed to the players, where as Scandar claims that for the true game the columns must be at least 10-15 meters high made at varying heights.
