Come one, come all, and mourn the great event that could not be this year in the only way possible--- with combat, combat, and more combat, melee style! From the 11th to 13th of August, the lovely countess Aurelia is opening her estate in Buedingen to us for our war-like mustering, and we will do combat, in styles both heavy and light, at the very walls of that city, ancient and fortified though they may be!
Shires of Meadowmarsh & Knights Crossing (Buedingen, Germany)
Once again the Kingdom's archers sally forth. This year instead of the King's forests, we will be venturing through his fields and pastures. St Sebastians will be held on wooded pasture lands east of Greeley this year.
This new site will give our shoot-master new fodder for his devious
brain. Fun and interesting shoots will be planned, and of course our
flaming arrow night shoot.
The site is' primitive.' Which means we will have port-a-johns, and
Join the Shire An Dun Thiene for a day of fighting, feasting, and games as the towns of Sodbury and Borton-on-Water settle their differences and settle the score.
The Shire of An Dun Thiene presents
Beggar's Rebellion-August 11th-13th
The Cumberland Center, Columbia TN
It started as an idea and has grown into a legend. Alas, all good things come to an end. That's right, Oertha has a new prince and princess and as the summer wanes, it's time for "Who's Afraid of Beowulf 4!"
This will be the last installment of our saga. The great Hrafnafjordr Axe of Might has long carried the spirit of The Beast Grendel within it and has corrupted the shire's Champion. Now the call goes out to find a new hero, one who can defeat the old champion, now turned wicked, and lay waste to the spirit of Grendel himself, freeing the Shire from evil, once and for all....In addition to the championship tourney there will be contests aplenty to celebrate the Viking spirit in all of us including miniature Viking boat building (extra points for authenticity and if it is able to float and hold a small amount of weight), Viking booty call (fashion show) and a good old fashioned beserker contest. As the evening winds down, come over Byfrost to Valhalla, where we will feast with those who died in honorable combat against the monster that day. Bring your own spirits and a good voice to the Bardic fire. This is the LAST BEOWULF!! Be there or be...uh... square! Lord Gunnar's duties call him elsewhere and he has passed the torch on to other shire folk.
The Shire of Granite Mountain will host the Inter-Shire Arts & Sciences Collegium. This is an opportunity for those living in the far reaches of Atenveldt to attend a learning experience created just for you!
Yes, it's happening again! A total weekend devoted to the Arte of Rapier Combat. Spread over two days will be training sessions, a tournament or two, melee sessions and a rapier game, a relaxed weekend of fencing and feasting. Lunch is served on both days, with a feast of simple foods on the Saturday night. Billets, booking and information can be arranged by contact with the Steward.
Come and join The Divines as we frolic amongst the trees in Scotts Valley on Aug. 12 at the Mists Rapier Tourney and Salon.
For non-fighters we have a theme: Come dressed as a 16th C Courtier
masking as a Greek god. Costumes can be pretty simple: wear a chemise
(with a bathing suit under it, perhaps, for modesty) and drape
yourself with garlands. Use your imagination and have fun with the
Principality of the Mists (Scotts Valley, California)
