We also know that there are more Calafian voices to be<br>heard and friendships to be made. We are very excited to begin this new<br>journey with all of you.<br>Great Western War was a grand adventure. There were new serpentine<br>walls around the Calafia camp and plans are being made to grow the<br>serpent with a hand from those who would like to help (painting parties). It<br>was a lot of fun. If you weren't there, we missed you and hope that you can<br>join us next year.<br>We looked forward to the Lief Erickson Tournament and were not<br>disappointed. It was a great event and well run. Festoon station, scavenger<br>hunt, tournament fighting, hospitality tent, ice floes, and more\u2026 enough<br>said!<br>Upcoming events include a little thing we like to call Calafia Anniversary on<br>November 4th. We will be selecting our armored combat, rapier, cut and<br>thrust, archery, and youth combat champions. You really should be there.<br>And then we will have Calafian Equestrian Champion on November 12th<br>where we will be selecting our equestrian and thrown weapons champions.<br>We are so excited.<br>See you soon.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Yours in happy service,<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Lord \u00deorsteinn Arngiersson and TH Lady Asa Askma\u00f0r<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Baron and Baroness of Calafia<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-baronial-missive"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1690\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/places.sca-caid.org\/calafia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
