Ice Skating in 7th Sea

Edmund got too much into the Winter Olympics

The Invisible College – designs the skates
The Explorer's Society – finds the syrneth artifacts to make the skates
Los Vagos – design the costumes
The Rilasciare – write the music
The Knights of the Rose and Cross – compose the routine
Sophia's Daughters – perform the routine (they can practice for 300 years!)
Die Kreutzritter – judge the routine (secretly, and according to their own unwritten rules wth no appeal possible)

Avalon – wins through their flowing, sylvan movements
Castille – wins through their delicacy, grace, and poise
Eisen – wins by doing physically demanding moves nobody else can do (and because they have dracheneisen skates)
Montaigne – wins through their incredible speed moves
Ussura – wins because the Matushka melts the ice for the other contestants
Vendel – wins by paying off the judges
Vesten – wins by attacking the rink, stealing the medal, and sailing off with it in their longships
Vodacce – never wins because all their contestants wind up poisoning one another before the competition.
