Terra Pomaria follows the standard set by both the Kingdom of An Tir and the Principality of the Summits with the caliber and skill of her champions equalling those found at competiting at the highest of levels.  The history of Terra Pomaria's champions is rich, now spanning two decades.  All championships are presented in order of inception.


'''The Defender of Terra Pomaria'''
===The Defender===
is the oldest of all championships attainable in the barony and was started while Terra Pomaria was still a shire in AS XXV/1990.  Although not at first, the defendership was soon determined a little more than a year after its creation annually at the [[Long and Short of It Tournament]].  The first defender, Angus McClure, was determined after a series of months-long fighter's practices that included tournament sessions eventually eliminating all contenders but one.  Since its establishment, all denfenderships have been held annually except one.  The fourteenth defender, [[Angus McClure]], who also was the first defender, had to abdicate the title after winning the [[Summits Fall Coronet Tournament XXXVIII/2003]] where he had been invested as Tanist and heir to the Principality of the [[Summits]] that resulted in a conflict of fealty.  Baron William and Baroness Elspeth released him of his defendership at the next Terra Pomaria event it being [[Baronial Revolt XXXVII/2003]] and after consultation with the Mistress of the Lists, it was deemed suitable that the runner-up to the last defender tournament, [[Brian of Ledbury]], should be invested as the new defender to finish Angus McClure's tenure.
 
'''History'''
 
The Defender is the first and oldest earned title created in Terra Pomaria that started when the branch was still a shire in AS XXV/1990 under the direction of then-seneschal [[Cesare the Merchant]].  The first defender was determined after a series of months-long fighter's practices that included tournament sessions eventually eliminating all contenders but one who was deemed the champion at the May 7 AS XXV/1990 branch fighter's practice.  After its initial inception every defender thereafter has traditionally been determined annually at the [[Long and Short of It Tournament]].  The 14th defender, [[Angus McClure]], who was also the 1st defender, had to abdicate the title after winning [[Summits Fall Coronet Tournament XXXVIII/2003]] where he was invested as Tanist and heir to the Principality of the [[Summits]]. His victory resulted in a conflict of fealty that required abdication of his defendership.  Baron William and Baroness Elspeth released him at the next Terra Pomaria event [[Baronial Revolt XXXVII/2003]] and after consultation with the Mistress of the Lists, it was deemed suitable that the runner-up in the last defender tournament, [[Brian of Ledbury]], would be invested as the 15th defender to finish Angus's tenure.
 
'''Determination'''
 
Determined annually at the [[Long and Short of It Tournament]].  The style of combat and weapons used to determine a new victor by tournament is traditionally selected by the current defender.  Since its establishment, the denfendership has been determined on an annual basis with one exception (see history for details). 
 
'''Consort'''
 
Entrants competing for defender are not required to have a consort.  Since AS Long and Short of It Tournament XXXVI/2001 Elspeth, 2nd Baroness of Terra Pomaria has willed that all consorts of defenders be given the Honor of Elspeth's Iris at the close of their champion's tenure.  The consort of the defender has affectionally, yet unofficially, been referred to as the "Defender Babe" and to date has always been female as there has yet to have been a female defender of the barony. 
 
'''Regalia'''
 
The defender's regalia includes circlets for the defender and consort, the defender's sword (that victor's hold while being sworn into defendership during court ceremony), the defender's shield displaying the barony's device (Azure, three chevronels braced argent, in chief two broad arrows and overall a laurel wreath Or), A glass-front display box containing the official scroll of former defenders and a banner bearing the defender's badge (Azure, three chevronels braced and on a chief argent a sword azure) since its registration in AS XXIX/1994.

The Barony of Terra Pomaria (Marion and Polk Counties, OR) is located in the Principality of Summits.

History

Landed Barons and Baronesses

Champions

Terra Pomaria follows the standard set by both the Kingdom of An Tir and the Principality of the Summits with the caliber and skill of her champions equalling those found at competiting at the highest of levels. The history of Terra Pomaria's champions is rich, now spanning two decades. All championships are presented in order of inception.

The Defender

History

The Defender is the first and oldest earned title created in Terra Pomaria that started when the branch was still a shire in AS XXV/1990 under the direction of then-seneschal Cesare the Merchant. The first defender was determined after a series of months-long fighter's practices that included tournament sessions eventually eliminating all contenders but one who was deemed the champion at the May 7 AS XXV/1990 branch fighter's practice. After its initial inception every defender thereafter has traditionally been determined annually at the Long and Short of It Tournament. The 14th defender, Angus McClure, who was also the 1st defender, had to abdicate the title after winning Summits Fall Coronet Tournament XXXVIII/2003 where he was invested as Tanist and heir to the Principality of the Summits. His victory resulted in a conflict of fealty that required abdication of his defendership. Baron William and Baroness Elspeth released him at the next Terra Pomaria event Baronial Revolt XXXVII/2003 and after consultation with the Mistress of the Lists, it was deemed suitable that the runner-up in the last defender tournament, Brian of Ledbury, would be invested as the 15th defender to finish Angus's tenure.

Determination

Determined annually at the Long and Short of It Tournament. The style of combat and weapons used to determine a new victor by tournament is traditionally selected by the current defender. Since its establishment, the denfendership has been determined on an annual basis with one exception (see history for details).

Consort

Entrants competing for defender are not required to have a consort. Since AS Long and Short of It Tournament XXXVI/2001 Elspeth, 2nd Baroness of Terra Pomaria has willed that all consorts of defenders be given the Honor of Elspeth's Iris at the close of their champion's tenure. The consort of the defender has affectionally, yet unofficially, been referred to as the "Defender Babe" and to date has always been female as there has yet to have been a female defender of the barony.

Regalia

The defender's regalia includes circlets for the defender and consort, the defender's sword (that victor's hold while being sworn into defendership during court ceremony), the defender's shield displaying the barony's device (Azure, three chevronels braced argent, in chief two broad arrows and overall a laurel wreath Or), A glass-front display box containing the official scroll of former defenders and a banner bearing the defender's badge (Azure, three chevronels braced and on a chief argent a sword azure) since its registration in AS XXIX/1994.
