Sweboz descriptions

This is the only one I have gotten done so far. Sorry it has been taking so long, I just started school and have not had enough time to go to the library. There is not much information on the ancient Germans on the internet.

Game Field

Game Fields provide a place for contests and sporting events to be held. These events can be a source of entertainment for the audience and contestants alike, and help install a sense of pride in the community. According to Tacitus, Games were held solely for the purpose of entertainment, and no prizes or rewards were given to the athletes. Tacitus also describes the sport that was that was played in his book, Germania. It says “. They have only one form of public show, which is the same wherever they foregather. Naked youths, trained to the sport, dance among swords and spears that are levelled at them. Practice begets skill, and skill grace, but they are not professionals or paid.”

I will post the rest of them here in this thread as I finish them.

Is it good or is there something wrong with it? Is there anything I need to do for the other descriptions that I didn't do with this one?

It works well for the historical paragraph of the description (as far as I can tell), but you can be creative with the preceding paragraph.

If you havent already read this thread.

I like tying it into some ancient source. It might need a little editing, but I think it would be sufficient. We wouldn't want to go shorter than this though I think. Looking forward to you trying some more out!! :2thumbsup:
