Hello Altavia!
This month started off with the first wars of the season, with both Red Star Rapier War and Phoenix War drawing people out to melees, seeing friends, and enjoying camping.
At Rapier War, his Majesty Brocc had the Consort’s Thrown Weapons tournament, and our very own Merlin Wynn both won the tournament and was chosen to be his Highness’s thrown weapons champion.
The following week at Lyondemere arts and archery, the arts and archery were fantastic! The weather was gorgeous, and we shot all day with novelty targets, balloon melee and Royal rounds.
The semi finals were made up of the 8 winners of each of the previous types of competitions, and Altavia (and our regulars at archery practice) made a great showing: Merlin won Dragons and Monsters, Amabel won Royal Rounds, Gideon tied Geral for first in one of the novelties. Merlin and Geral made it to the finals, which Geral won.
Our soon to be transplant and practice guest Ceallach and Geral made finals for crossbow, with Ceallach winning.
There was also an arts competition with archery as the theme which was well attended, with lots of gorgeous art, featuring paintings, arrows, quivers, bows, block printing and more. Our very own Baroness Amabel won with her tooled leather quiver.
The next weekend was jam packed with Dun Or Anniversary, and Robin Hood.
Dun Or Anniversary had it’s traditional bear pit format, with lots of fighting for all combatants, and our very own Colwyn won the rapier championship.
Robin Hood was the Barony of the Angeles’s archery tournament, with novelty shoots for crossbow and hand bow. The championship was awarded for period handbow, as well as a winner of the day for overall highest score.
Altavia showed exceptionally well, with Merlin winning crossbow, Baroness Amabel winning the period championship, and Achillious of Altavia winning the overall highest score winner of the day.
We’re looking forward to the next busy month, where we will find out who the next Kingdom heirs will be at the upcoming Crown tournament, amongst many other exciting events.
In service to the dream,
Baroness Amabel
Baron Griffith
