[MR] Tourney of Manannon Mac Lir XXVI

[Brenda Butler]

Barkeep, a round for the Tavern while I tempt them with this Public Service Announcement!



Tourney of Manannon Mac Lir XXVI

January 21-23, 2005

 

Cold winds and snow may dominate the Northern reaches of our fair Kingdom, but here in the South, winter means time to fight and bragging rights to the Brooch of Manannon. Who will be the next bearer of the Heavy Brooch, one of the oldest tourney prizes in Atlantia? And who will be the next holder of the Rapier Brooch? Of course, there is always the famed hospitality of the Canton of Tear Sea's Shore to enjoy. And if that is not enough, there will be a thrown weapons competition to tempt your warrior spirit.

 

A&S: For the more artistically inclined, there will be an open A&S competition with an Oceanic theme. Documentation is strongly encouraged.

 

Feast: if this is not enough to tempt you, then perhaps a feast by House Drunken Moose will tantalize you into traveling south. Dietary concerns can be sent to Baroness Mistylla of the Misty Isles at sparis1 at sc.rr.com  Space is limited for feast; sign up early for the most delicious seats in the house!

 

Cost:   Adults:             onboard $13               daytrip $ 6

            Teens (13-17):              onboard $12               daytrip $5
