[nikulai at mochamail.com]

The Tourney of Ymir
Barony of Windmasters' Hill
February 7th-9th

As the long cold dead of winter begin to pass, and the ice begins to crack
around the grave of the ice giant Ymir, the new baronage of Windmasters'
Hill readies for their investiture and the tourney season begins.

Heavy Fighting: Combatants shall have a chance to compete in the
traditional Ymir double elimination tourney. (Sir Rodrigo Falcone
polearmed at att.net)

Rapier: A tourney to challenge the skill of all rapier fighters is being
planned. (Lady Katherine Maunsel csnell at ieee.org.)

Archery: There will be targets aplenty for archers to test their skill.
(Lady Louisa O'Reilly ariley2 at nc.rr.com)

Thrown Weapons: Bring your axes and test your skill. (Lord Xavier de Lyon

Arts & Sciences: For our annual Tourney of Ymir, we will have three
competitions. The first competition will be for a pre-1000 viking feast
food item, and the second competition will be a skald-style performance
poetry reading, and the third will be for viking clothing accessories.

Feast item- please bring your feast item with documentation, and if you
made any substitutions in preparation, state why. A feast item includes any
food that would have been served at a viking feast in pre-1000 viking-held
areas, including Scotland, Norway, Denmark, and so on. Since recipes are
scarce, interpretation is encouraged, but please include your thoughts on
your interpretation in your notes.

Skald-style performance- please rehearse and perform a viking poetry
reading in persona, and have a (max. one page) bibliography with your
source to hand to the judges. If you feel confident enough to write your
own viking poetry, please do so. Performances will be encouraged to be
short 5-7 minutes, but exciting.

Clothing Accessories- these include hats, shoes, socks, mittens, leg
wrappings, pouches, belts, jewelry, etc. Please include
documentation/pictures of sources, and bibliography of source material.

For question contact Lady Bryn y Pobydd (bryn at personalbest1.com)

Feast: A feast of which Vikings might dream shall be prepared by Sir Daemon
Broussard (daemonb at mindspring.com)
