[Archers] Kingdom Archery Champion Quiver

[John Atkins]

Update:  When Jonathas was the champion Logan re-instituted the archery
champion position as a member of court.  Logan choose to name this
position Atlantian Archery Champion, thus the former Atlantian Archery
Champion then became the Royal Archery Champion (this being the
individual who won the day long shoot formerly known as the Atlantian
Archery Champion shoot).  Jonathas decided it best to have the existing
back style quiver go with the position title as it was carved into the
quiver.  He then commissioned an Atlantian Royal Archer Champion quiver
based on the same style as the former quiver.  However, the new RAC
quiver has the devices of all past champions painted on it with room
along each side for future champions (there were only 3 or 4 positions
left on the back for future champions).  I made the new quiver and my
lady painted the devices of the past champions on the back (I won't
share with you her comments about some of YOUR devices!).  She also
wrote inside the quiver the names and brands of the paints she used so
the colors would hopefully match those devices added by the new
champions.  As for the bolt case, I know not.

This is correct.  There are two quivers.  The Handbow quiver is of the
Back Quiver style, and was commissioned by Lorenzo (I forget who made
it, just that Lorenzo had it commissioned in the style that Lorenzo
preferred) when Lorenzo was champion, so that the office had regalia.

When I won, I was the 2nd crossbowman, and while, like my predecessor, I
also shot recurve, I realized that I didn't have an 'every day' quiver
like a handbowman would.

Therefore, I made a Crossbow quiver for the champions.  (Leg style, as
that's what I myself wore) ... It was expected, perhaps, that future
champions might make more quivers, as desired, to match their own
preferred style.  (Perhaps a side-quiver for crossbows, a belt-quiver
for handbows, etc) as needed.   And eventually we'd have a plethora of
quivers to pass on.

For now, there are just the two though.

Hopefully, in someone's safe keeping.

Siegfried - Who is sorely out of his 'best form', but looking forward to
competing for the chance to wear that quiver again soon.
