[scribe0002 at aol.com]

TRIUMPH! Pomp! Elation! Excess! Music! Fanfare! COLOR! HERALDRY!

These are the makings of a grand show. But the sewing! Good Lord, the 
embroidery alone could take years!

Nothing gorgeous and beautiful has sprung fully formed from the this 
plane of existance since the day Venus stepped from the escallop shell, 
lo, those many years gone.

At War of the Wings, a battle among friends, there will again be a 
Heraldic Procession of Declaration! On whose side shall your forces 
labor? There's a score to settle, after all! There are  questions 
remaining! There is laughter to be shared. Stories to be told. Friends 
to make and OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Shiney!!!!!!!!

Sacred Stone and Black Diamond are preparing for a conflict of 
monumental proportions! Every man woman and child who attends the event 
will have an effect on the outcome, so plan to be there. Oct 9-12 at 
Elchenburg Castle.

On Saturday morning, as the sun burns the mists from the fields, every 
barony, canton, shire, college, household, clan and other group present 
may take part in the grand Declaration of Allegiance.

Groups will process onto the field by order of precedence and approach 
Their Most Righteous and Glorious Majesties of Atlantia and declare for 
all to hear, their allegiances for that day. Individuals may also 
participate.

The requirements are simple:

1) Any group or individual taking part in the heraldic procession of 
declaration must present a unified appearance through the use of 
heraldry and livery colors and observe all period courtesy and 
deference.

2) Must have a herald in a tabard or baldric or carrying an appropriate 
device of heraldic office

3) Attempt to portray period processional celebrations and styles 
through the use of Banners, Pennons, Ganfallons and all manner of 
heraldic display, pageant floats, pageant displays and so on.

4) May make use of musicians, dancers, gymnasts, flower girls, military 
regiments, coursing hounds, horses and any other thing, animate or not, 
to create the most memorable Declaration of Allegiance

Time is tight as attendance is high. You will not have time to make 
long flowery speeches. This is about Visual Impact. Make it count!
