BARONIAL BIRTHDAY & INVESTITURE
May 7-9, 2010
Hosted by the  Barony of Hawkwood in Arden, N.C. 
Alas! Alack! It is a sad day for the people of Hawkwood as they  must bid 
adieu to Their Excellencies, Thorgrimr and Adeliza. However, our  monumental 
sorrow is tempered with a great joy! Their Atlantian Majesties will  invest 
a new Baronial Coronet to oversee Their lands in Hawkwood! Let all of  
Atlantia join us as we celebrate not only Hawkwood's Baronial Birthday, but also  
an Investiture of new nobility. 
MARTIAL ACTIVITIES: Any new Baronial Coronet requires a  healthy Court to 
surround them. Join in contests martial to determine new  Baronial Champions 
for Hawkwood. Heavy and Rapier contests will be held both for  fun and for 
positions in the Court. Compete to impress! Target Archery will also  be 
included! 
ARTS & SCIENCES: Pageantry is the theme of the day  and the populace is 
encouraged to show their finest heraldic display and to  bring items and 
stories associated with Hawkwood's history. There will be prizes  for the Best 
Personal and for Best Baronial Heraldic Display. A special  competition will be 
held for best New Baronial Regalia Item donated to the  Barony. 
YOUTH ACTIVITIES: A jewel quest will entertain your  children. There will 
also be a Youth Combat Tournament. The Atlantian Pages'  Academy will be 
sponsoring classes as well as a Page for a Day program. Contact  _Lady Niccolina 
the Wanderer_
