Sverdturneringer

Sverdturneringer is a fashion and martial game or contest between several nekomimi slaves wielding sharpen wooden spears and swords made from scrap metal. The original point of the games according to a late 1800s handbook guide is to "create chivalry among the nekomimi, entertained their masters and to show the purity of nekomimi livestock." Some nekomimi were volunteered in the games, risking their lives for the rich rewards in standing and in profit. Majority nekos were forced into it as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions to learn a heavily romanticized chivalric codes of honor, martial arts and how to act in plays. Many of the contests often have a over-arching play or plot going on over the course of it. Requiring nekomimi to recite codes of honor and poems of passion to their slave masters or singing songs for the audience. The contests often have a host massive gambling tents, waging on who will survive each round.

In the modern times Sverdturneringers has been divided into two camps. Martial Camp which is the largest camp, which focus more on martial side of the contests compared to the pageantry of the former version. The second camp focus on the romanticization of contests, with many Nystatinne fashion designers making intricate clothing designs not just for the "knights" but for the servants in the event as well. Having them to wear "inspired" servant dress from the early 1900s and late 1800s.
