[MR] Lochmere's Masters of Defense Reminder

[Medb ingen Brain]

Masters of Defense and Baronial Investiture
September 10th, 2005
Barony of Lochmere

Do you have what it takes to be a Master of Defense? Come to the Barony of
Lochmere on September 10th and put your skills to the test for all to see!
Set in Spain, but based on the activities of the London Masters of Defense,
a guild of martial arts instructors established by Henry VII, this tourney
will challenge the participants to prove themselves in both armored combat
and rapier combat.
 Come join Their Majesties Atlantia King Janos of Cyddlain Downs and Queen
Rachel Wallace as they invest the new Baronage of Lochmere, then stay for
the tournament and feast.
The fighting theme for the day is Bear-pit.  Open lists for both rapier and
armored will be available all day.  In addition, lists for specified forms
will be run at the same time.  The tournament itself is composed of two
phases: an open phase where fighters can compete in both armored and rapier
combat and then the elimination phase where the best of the best are pitted
against one another to determine the final victor.  Authorizations will be
held prior to Investiture. The tournament will commence following
Investiture.  For the archers, bring your bows, for what Lochmere event
would be complete without archery.
 For those less martially inclined there will be an open display of Arts and
Sciences, so bring your latest projects, or for those inclined to
performance arts, feel free to entertain Their Majesties and the attending
populous.  For the little ones there will be Children's Activities.
