Description: Let all who have suits to settle, marriages to arrange,
goods to be traded or challenges to make bring their business to the
Tingvellir! Be you Norse, Irish, Scots, Welsh, Angle, Frisian, Finn or
Norman come to the social event of the Nordic year, the Althyng. We
offer again many of your favorite pastimes. We encourage you to play in
persona-bring suit before the Thyng, start a family feud, barter and
trade, or challenge an opponent to holmganga.

Please bring your Viking tents to add to the atmosphere. The theme of
the A & S competitions is "Tools of the Trade". Bring your period tools
for whatever craft you do. There will be a competition for individual
tools, as well as for the best tool set for a craft. For the tool set
competition you do not have to have made all the tools yourself. We will
be looking for completeness, appropriateness, and appearance.
