Quick FAQ

September Crown is coming!

In four short days the great Shire of Shittimwoode, the oldest and most bunnyful shire in the whole Kingdom of An Tir, will be hosting September Crown on behalf of King Amalric and Queen Caia!

The schedule is ready! The site rules are in place! The tension is palpable! Who will be the next Heirs of An Tir? This Saturday, we will finally find out!

Come see the Crown etherial site at http://www.shittimwoode.org/crown today!

Quick September Crown FAQ:

What reservations do I need?

None! The only reservations that we took for September Crown were for eric reservations, which closed on August 22nd, and merchant reservations. Neither RVs nor camp sites are reserved by the autocrat team for anyone save Royal encampments.

Will the ground be level for the Crown Tournament?

Yes! We found out at Warren War that the grounds are not up to Crown Tournament standards. Accordingly, we are fixing this problem to insure the health, safety, and enjoyment of September Crown.

Will there be site tokens?

Absolutely! We have made over 1500 round wooden site tokens that commemorate King Amalric and Queen Caia's Crown Tournament in true Shittimwoode style!

Thank you, An Tir! And on behalf of the Shire of Shittimwoode, we're looking forward to seeing you all at September Crown!

Scribal Activities

Greetings Scribes (and those yet to be scribes;-},

Crown is fast approaching and we have lined up several activities for you.

On Saturday there are going to be Ithra classes, an Artisan's Gallery (either for scribes and illuminators in the College of Scribes day shade or for other arts in the A&S Pavilion right next door) during Crown Tourney, a Scribe's Vice party/social gathering at 7 pm (bring your scroll/charter portfolios and one of your favorite snacking-while-scribing treats along with tales of scribal mishaps to regale us by;-).

On Sunday there is a 10 am All Scribes meeting hosted by the Kingdom Scribe HL Tuirrean dal gCais (come see what the College is up to:-} and continued Charter Painting on the Eric. Someone has mentioned that there are oak trees which produce galls on site and we might go on walk-about for those early that morning. Dame Tamlyn will also be teaching (not for Ithra credit) the Charter painting (11:30 am) and Quill cutting (after the Laurels meeting gets out or 3:30 - whichever is later) classes in the Dew Drop Inn.

If you are even remotely interested in the Scribal Arts please drop by any of the Scribal Activities on the Eric (you'll recognize us by the Checky Or and argent, a triskelion of arms proper, garbed sable, each hand grasping a quill pen gules banner) or in the Dew Drop Inn (Ithra classes you need to sign up for) at posted times.

Current Schedule of scribal type Ithra classes: Saturday 9-11 Celtic Knot work - Aron the Sinister 9-noon Charter Painting Techniques - Tamlyn of Wyntersea 1-3 pm Reed Cutting - Mahee of Acre 1-5 pm Gothic Calligraphy - Sister Guineth 3-5 pm Quill Cutting - Tamlyn of Wyntersea

The Ithra chancellor's schedule in the catalog does not match the class descriptions so there may be a change of the schedule.

Warmest Regards, Tamlyn

Blue Dragon Inn Stage

Greetings, I am Blue of Clan Dreaming sky, purveyor of the Blue Dragon Inn. My lord, who is incredibly accommodating to my artistic obsessions has built a small wooden stage, suitable for up to three players at a time. (okay five if they are drummers.)

Yeah!

So I am making an open call, here on the steps and also at my Inn at Crown itself, for musicians who would like to perform. Time slots are from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily. They will be ½ hour each. Of course if you’re jamming and no one is scheduled around your time, you could have longer.

This is going to be such an awesome crown and we are so excited about all the amazing and fun things we have planned at the Blue Dragon Inn. If you have questions or would like to reserve a time slot please contact me off list.

Thank you so very much!

In Service to An Tir,

Blue of Clan Dreaming Sky

Schedule Corrections

Just checked the most current Crown Schedule and already have some corrections..:-o

The College of Scribes meeting is at 1pm on Sunday at the Scribes' Pavilion. The Charter Painting class in the Dew Drop Inn will be 10 am on Sunday.

And on the A&S portion of Crown Schedule,

Artisans' Gallery is in the A&S Pavilion on the eric (not in the Cloisters) and is a place for people to bring their projects and work on them in the company of others while watching Crown Tourney.

Dame Tamlyn is not in charge of the 2 pm A&S meeting Saturday in the Cloisters nor the guild displays (yaay:-} Master Rauthulfr <Cacao-Laurel AT comcast DOT net> probably is and may be able to answer any other questions you have concerning A&S activities.

HL Godith <ladygenevra@yahoo.com> has been reserving space and organizing the layout within the A&S area - if you have not contacted her about your Guilds' or other A&S activities' pavilions please do so as soon as possible (not sure when she will be on site for the "duration").

Thanks. Tam
