STORVIK BARONIAL CHAMPIONSHIP  
  SEPTEMBER 21 - 23, 2001 

   HEAR YE! HEAR YE! The wheel of the year has turned
and the time approaches when the Brightest Light of
our Barony, Her Excellency, Johanna of Storvik, 
invites the populace to gather and display their great
skill in various competitions for the right to
represent the Barony in Her Excellency's service. 
Competitors and spectators are to join us on the field
at Marietta Mansion, 5626 Bell Station Road, Glenn
Dale, Maryland, for a weekend of diverse competitions
and revelry. 
    We of Storvik invite our friends from lands both
near and far to join us in this friendly competition
to test our skills against the best of the Known 
World. To that end, all competitions and tournaments 
are open all who desire to enter. In the realms of
Heavy Weapons, Rapier, Art & Sciences, Archery, 
and Bardic Arts,  we will recognize both our Baronial
Champion and an Overall Winner. Each Baronial Champion
will be made a member of her Excellency's court, and
in return is granted the privilege, honor and
responsibility of representing Baroness Johanna and 
Storvik. Please consider, prior to entering, whether 
you wish to become our Baronial Champion, and be 
prepared to declare your intentions when entering the
competitions.
