<DIV>Marinus Baronial Investiture<BR>of Syr Otto von Schwartskatz and Mistress
Margret Eyverska<BR>November 22, 2003<BR>Norfolk, Virginia<BR><BR>Come all ye
good people, friend and foe alike, to the upcoming Investiture of our new Baron
and Baroness, Syr Otto von Schwartskatz and Mistress Margret Eyverska. <BR>Join
us for a day of frolic and festivity!<BR><BR>Activities<BR>The day will see many
competitions, including a subtlety competition. There will also be a static arts
display for artisans to show either finished or in-progress works. Join the fun,
display your projects, and view the artistry of your fellow Atlantians. Leave
tokens of appreciation as well as your comments next to the works you admire to
encourage the artisans to keep developing their skills. *All* populace members
are encouraged to leave a token of appreciation.<BR><BR>In addition, we ask the
populace to bring personal, household, and baronial wall hangings to cover the
starkness of the cinderblocks, and to bring other hall decorations as
well.<BR><BR>A&S Competitions<BR>If you have any questions regarding the
A&S competitions, please direct them to Lady Kara in Danska, phone (757)
366-0543.<BR><BR>Subtlety Competition: Whip up your imagination and create a
dessert subtlety! Entries are not returnable; they will be consumed as
part of the feast, so every entry must be edible! Documentation is encouraged,
but not required.<BR><BR>Bardic Competition: This is not a performing
competition. This competition will showcase the talents of our bards to the
Knowne Worlde by means of our Baronial Website. Some or all of the entries will
be published on the Barony of Marinus website. "Permission to Publish" forms
will be available at the event. You do not have to grant permission to publish
to be considered for the competition, but we strongly encourage
it.<BR><BR>Submit your original bardic piece in written format for display at
the event. Any format, such as song, story, poetry, or drama, is welcome. Some
short documentation is encouraged as well, for example: What inspired your
piece? What period format does it follow? etc. <BR><BR>Baronial-Sponsored
Competitions<BR>Best Decorated Storage Chest: You know how the story goes...you
have these great, period- looking storage chests to use at events, and they hold
everything from 2-liters to extra armor. And someday, really, you'll finish and
decorate them. Well, now's your chance!<BR><BR>This competition is for the
finishing and decoration of a storage chest, not for the actual construction of
that chest. Therefore, purchased chests are completely acceptable. Please plan
to use your chest during the event if you want...just sign up for the
competition, and Baroness Rosine will come around and judge your storage chest
while it is in use. No chest will be opened unless you specifically request it.
Brief documentation, or even better, a short "how-to" posted by your chest is
encouraged, and will be greatly appreciated.<BR><BR>Sponsored by Baroness
Rosine/Hróðny Rognvaldsdottir. Prize for the best decorated chest will be gift
certificates to hardware and crafts stores!<BR><BR>"Bearly" Period Competition:
The title is the description. Use your imagination to interpret! No
documentation required. Sponsored by Baron Arn BiørnBassi Dansson.
<BR><BR>Martial Competitions<BR>Rapier: Details to be posted soon!<BR><BR>Heavy:
Marinus is hosting the soon-to-be-notorious Ribbon Tourney. Bring your chivalry

Mistress Aelfyn Gyrthsdottir will provide delightful victuals for the morning
repast as well as the afternoon and evening courses of the feast. As all know,

feast. For dessert, the subtleties in the competition will be available for
consumption.<BR><BR>The morning repast is open to everyone, irrespective of your
