History

Whistling Darts was origionally used by archers to help guide the flight of their arrows. As a way to teach young Mages to do this, the game was developed. Pointed feathers are whistled through hanging hoops to reach the end target. The simplest form is to Whistle a feather through a single hoop the size of a fist to gain a point. However, the game builds in complexity and challenge by adding more hoops of different sizes, different size feathers that only move with different frequencies and other obstacles. A more competitive form was added, where one player can whistle another player's feather off course, and all players play at the same time. Some players, even choose to be blindfolded.
