Come warm yourself at our hearth! Cheer for your favourite rapier fighter at our annual Shire championship. Behold the glorious creations of our artisans at the Shire A&S championship. Feast with us to celebrate not only the victors, but all participants. Play an instrument, tell a tale, or sing a song for your heart’s love in our bardic circle.
Please consider these simple guidelines:
If you have an edible A&S Championship entry that is also your potluck dish, please reserve some of your dish for the judges.
There will be a Court of Love. The panel of Judges will hear all claims and appropriately sentence all wrong-doers. If you’ve been wronged, bring your claims and any evidence before the court. As anyone can be brought before the court as a defendant, be prepared to defend yourself in the Court of Love. [All in fun.]
There will be a Castle of Love. Ladies, defend your Castle. No one can enter without your permission. As an additional defense, you may hire one gatekeeper to defend your Castle. Lords, you must convince the Lady to allow entrance to her castle. At your disposal, you can use words, songs, gifts, and/or anything else except swords or other forms of physical force. You may hire bards to sing in your stead. Please bring gifts or anything else as you see fit. [Roles can be reversed, modified, adjusted, as people see fit.]
Bardic Circle. Sing, play and/or tell a story at our bardic circle. The Avacal and Tir Righ Bardic books will be available.
Medieval Games will be provided for your entertainment.
