Greetings to one and all!

The Shire of Shittemwoode would like to thank Their Excellencies, Aquaterra and Lions Gate for the honor of battling it out for the rights to the blessed Royal Hunting Preserve September 12th -14th

The theme of the event will be Agriculture or more directly Agronomy – a branch of agriculture dealing with field crop production.  We plan on having Ithra classes, Guild displays, Bardic and many contests related to this theme.

7 War Points will be allotted as follows:  1 Field Combat (open field, bridge & castle scenarios), 1 Archery, 1 Rapier, 1 Bardic, 1 Arts, 1 Sciences and 1 Service. 

Bardic point entries must characterized by the event theme.
Arts point entries shall be a documented, head-worn item.
Science point entries shall be a document, agricultural tool (sorry no animals qualify)
Service points will be awarded by volunteers claiming their service for gate, safety watch, waste management, setup/take down to a Baronial roster.
