[MR] War of the Wings: A&S Activities

[Etienne Le Mons d'Anjou]

Several individuals have approached me saying that they did not receive this
missive. I am reissuing it so that everyone can know what wonderful A&S
events we are planning for War of the Wings this year. There will be more
information distributed soon, including performing arts information and
class information!

Well met and greetings!
(Please redistribute this to any interested elist!)

War of the Wings was started six years ago as a competition between the
Baronies of Sacred Stone and Windmasters' Hill, along with their respective
allies, and has grown to be one of the largest events held in the Kingdom of
Atlantia. This year's principle opponents are the Baronies of Black Diamond
and Raven's Cove versus the Baronies of Sacred Stone and Hawkwood.

There will be several A&S Competitions to help display the knowledge,
creativity and skill of members of the principle baronies and their
visitors!

On Friday, there will be a poetry competition, sponsored by the current
Poeta Atlantiae. The poems submitted should be themed around a battle
between any of the symbols of the principle baronies (a diamond, raven,
phoenix or hawk). Documentation is not required, but is preferred.

On Saturday, there will be a novice competition. This is a competition for
individuals who have been practicing their craft for less than a year. This
doesn't mean that the entrant needs to be a newcomer as they could be an
experienced anachronist exploring a new area! No documentation is required
for this competition, nor will documentation be graded.

On Sunday, the War of the Wings Pentathlon will be the feature of the day!
Rules:
* Each participant must enter five items as their entry for judging.
* Each participant must enter at least four different categories.
* Only participants who are attending War of the Wings may enter.
* Entered items may not have won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in any other A&S
