The sound of wind chimes preceded the modestly sized wagon whose wheels cut ruts into the dirt and sawdust of Hackney Row as it lumbered to a stop beside a conical crimson tent and a silver-striped awning. An agile gnome in a dark riding cloak and boots dropped to the ground beside it to unharness a sleepy caribou and strap a feed bag to its muzzle. Satisfied with the location, the gnome entered the wagon and closed the door behind him, leaving behind the sound of jangling metal in the evening air of the market.

Inside he whirled out of his cloak, lit the lanterns, and headed to his workbench. He unfolded a pannel on the front of the workbench creating a small table to display his wares. Carefully he laid out small figures and models of tents creating a diorama that replicated the list not far off from the markets of Hackney Row.

With the miniature jousting field assembled he retrieved his latest creation from a special place under the workbench. He gave one last polish to the chestnut horse of a bronze toy jouster before carefully placing it on the field, adjusting the tiny lance and shield of the mechanical rider just so, before stepping back to admire the display. He beamed, then set to work assembling the other toy jousters before the big festival this weekend!

Introducing Zeizing's Toy Jousters! These mechanical toy jousters are built for fun and games and can be customized in many ways. When two toy jouster owners place them on the ground they can engage in their own jousting tournaments!* All toy jousters are created equal so they always compete on equal footing. Have competitions, place bets, challenge your friends!

Zeitzing will be on hand during Rumor Woods to customize your toy jouster! He can alter the rider, its equipment, and the mount, or the overall look of the toy so you can design your perfect vision of the most awesome jouster to ever dominate the lists!

* These toys will only work when two different owners place them on the ground. You can own more than one but you can't joust your own toys!

These toys are thoroughly delightful, and have an unexpected surprise. The games are quick too, which is nice when you only have a few minutes. :)
