Event Highlights
(Stuff that happened in Court, or who won the contests, or that happened to all or most people on site e.g. a windstorm, or banquet details. Include links to other pages as appropriate.)
Holmgang: Who won the Holmgang tournament and the Rapier tournament? What *is* a Holmgang style rapier tournament? Who won the other tournaments and contests? How much money was raised by the cheesecake auction? Why was the site changed?
Sample: Hear you these words of the first court of Their Royal Majesties, King Skeggi and Queen Taisiia in the Shire of Shittimwoode on the 8th day of January, Anno Societatis 39, being 2005 in the Common Era. Their Majesties were attended in Court by the Prince and Princess of the Summits, Kaðall Blarauga and Nadezhda Volynskaiia, the Prince and Princess of Avacal, Vik Vikingsson and Inga the Unfettered and the Prince and Princess of Tir Righ, Ulf and Bernadette.
Their Majesties were dressed in the scythian style wearing pale yellow linen coats. His Majesty's coat had appliqued designs in black and shades of green and camel over a white linen shirt embroidered in crimson. Down the front of the coat were bronze metal ravens. Her Majesty's coat had beautiful appliqued designs in crimson leather and down the sleeves were sewn plaques of scythian style deer. Her Majesty's scarlet skirt was all over embroidered with fine gold metal thread, while His Majesties trousers of olive green were appliqued with the same crimson leather as Her coat.
