Don't Forget! War Orphans Pity Party August 11,
Highlights,
AnS: 3 relatively broad categories to choose from. With an open display too!
Heavy: 2 tourney's: one odd weapons, ever wanted to fight with a frying pan?
	how about a scythe? or maybe you just can't wait to land a butt wrap with
	a boat paddle? it's time to break out the weird weapons and have a grand
	ole time. The second tourney: for those of you that happen to be a bit
	more traditional, is open to any heavy weapon form that is not sword&shied
Rapier: Swiss Five: okay lets fight then fight some more and then again!
	Possibly one of the most fun tourney styles in the known world(at least I
	think so!)

This flyer is going out on several lists, I apologize for duplicates.

War Orphans Pity Party
August 11, A.S. XXXVI
Being 2001 Gregorian

The Heralds Cry Loud!
The tide of war once again has washed upon the shores of our fair lands. And
even though many of the valiant warriors of our fair Kingdom must heed the
call to war, a stand must also be made to protect the wholesome lands within
our vast borders. Sharpen thy blades and ready thine armor, for even though
the mass of the noble forces of our realm travel north to meet the call to
battle, the many remaining must also prepare for the possibility of the
battles reaching even to our very homes.

For the armored warriors.
      Two tourneys will be held that the peoples of these lands may test and
hone
their skills and abilities. The first of which will be, as in the traditions
of the past, an odd weapons list. In which only weapons that do not fit into
the normal categories (weapon/shield, great sword ect
) yet meets the
marshal's tests will be permitted on the field. The second list will be open
to any weapons form that is not weapon/shield. Both lists will be double
elimination.

For the Quick of blade.
      Unto the noble Scholars of Atlantia is this test of ability proposed.
There
will be a Swiss Five Tournament to test both your skill and endurance! Each
round will be best two out of three, but make sure to sharpen your wit along
with your weapons in preparation for the days games, as your clever mind may
save you where your cunning blade cannot!

For the artisans.
      Without the inspiration of the arts surely the arms of our skilled
combatants would not find the strength to raise their swords. So that we all
may bask in the knowledge and abilities of friend and neighbor, three
competitions are presented. The first of which will call upon the abilities
of craftsmanship, to create an object from the natural materials of wood,
metal, leather or fiber. The second competition will be a test of the mind.
To create an original song or poem with the theme of Kingdom or Barony (your
choice) that the bards may remember us within their tales forever. The last
competition will be open to any item German, in preparation for the great
'October Fest' this autumn.
Even if your talents lean away from these, take heart as there will be an
open display so that all may take note of the many and varied abilities of
our Barony's most valued treasure, it's artisans.

General information.
