Event Copy and Response
Stories tell of heated words this past fall in the Court of King Cedric, at Baron’s Ball. Witnesses speak of Baroness Araviere of Wealdsmere accusing Baroness Stjarna of Wastekeep of stealing away her Courtiers. Baroness Stjarna was heard to say that if the Baroness of Wealdsmere could not support Her courtiers, that Great Wastekeep would lend aid to them. Tempers lit, both Great Ladies squared off before His Majesty, with strong words spoken and fur flying. Even sage advice from His Grace Duke Gunnar Brunwulf could not stem the brewing conflict between the two mighty Baronies.
So does Baroness Araviere call to all good An Tirians to support Her bonds of fealty with Her Sergeantry. And so does Baroness Stjarna call to all Her Sergeantry, current and Emeritus, and all supporters in An Tir, to address Her grievance against Baroness Araviere. Thus do both aggrieved parties meet upon the lands of Lyonsmarche to settle their differences in an Honor War.

- Rapier Championship Tournament
Archery - Saturday contests include Honey Bee shoot, William Tell shoot, Swinging Vegetable shoot & a Royal Round. You will find out at the range how our Archery Champion will be determined.
A&S Championship - One entry to enter. You can enter as many entries as you want. Please make it something that you have not entered before in the past. Please bring your A&S projects completed or even if it is a work in progress. Documentation is a plus. Displays are really nice. If you can give the judges a little presentation (what is the item, where in period was it made, when was it made/used in period, it's development, a little histoy, how you made it, how they made it in period, your deviations from period techniques, and why), then that is a huge plus.
Homebrew Championship - Again, one entry is all that it takes to enter. One bottle per entry. You may enter as many as you want. The judges won't complain. Beer, wine, mead, spirits, etc., etc. Liquors are welcomed, but there is a preference for other types of entries. Judging criteria will be based upon established tasting criteria (clarity if applicable, taste, aroma, etc., etc.) Documentation is a plus, especially if you can show it is period. That will earn bonus points. If you have an A&S type presentation to go with your entry, then that will also earn bonus points.
Rapier Championship - Will be Sunday morning, Acclaim Tournament. This means anyone can fight, with the group testing those that have declaired their intent to stand as Champion. After a round-robin tourney, the participants will choose two gentles from the Champion pool to fight a best of three match for the Championship.
Please note that our Lyonsmarche Bardic Championship, Cooking Championship, and Heavy Championship are now scheduled to be held at our Fall Newcomers event.
