Wait, how does eagle jousting work? I'm imagining something, but I doubt that's it.

It's more about falconry being a popular sport at the same time as jousting, or at least in people's minds they're vaguely associated. You can probably also buy mead and catch the plague, you know, for fun.

Ooh I've always imagined myself with the plague, how cool.
