ACTIVITIES

  • Fighting – Armored: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. 9am inspection / 10am fighting starts. Sides will be checked and balanced at HRM's and HRH's discretion with the goal of keeping as many groups with their own kingdom as possible while also having similar numbers.
  • Fighting – Rapier: Join us on the Rapier Field Saturday after melee scenarios for an Armor-as-Worn Cut and Thrust tournament in honor of The Honorable Lady Meala Caimbeul. Your hosts, Master Malise MacKendry and Lord Edmund Barlow invite you to don your period armor, and cover up to 50% of your body. Plate is considered proof; chain or heavy leather protects against cuts. Members of the Populace are encouraged to attend and watch the fights in honor of our friend! All Fighters entering the lists must be Cut and Thrust authorized, and armored to Cut and Thrust standards. Combatants are not required to wear any additional armor, but are welcome and encouraged to! The list will be limited rounds dependent on the number of entrants, and fought with weapons of choice. We hope to see fighters from many Kingdoms in attendance. Armor to your home Kingdom’s standards, blow calling shall be to the standard Caid Rapier Cut & Thrust ruleset. Armor standards, all Fighters shall wear their Kingdom minimums for cut and thrust rapier, and are encouraged and permitted (but not required) to wear additional pieces of armor. Armor shall be simulated as it is openly worn and shall count for no more than 50% of the body.
  • Youth Combat: 2pm Fri/Sat/Sun with Youth Rapier to follow at 3pm – both on the battlefield. Guardians for each participant must be present at all times.
  • Equestrian: Thursday will be the meet & greet, then throughout the week there will be Jousting, Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery, Trick or Treating & Costumes for Rider/Ride encouraged, as well as Queen’s Championship.
  • Merchants: Twilight Bazaar Friday Night for extended shopping hours.
  • Artisan Exhibition: Saturday 10–12pm. All levels welcome to come display their arts at this non-judged event.
  • A&S Classes: Greetings from The Arts & Sciences Steward. Whether you are a newcomer or an old timer, you’ll want to make sure to stop by the Arts & Sciences Area, and spend time with some of the most talented teachers and artisans of the Knowne World. We are very excited to present three full days of classes, hands-on workshops, and demos. Be sure to stop by the Artisans’ Showcase on Saturday morning 10am – 12pm, to meet some of the Knowne World’s finest artisans and ask them questions about their work. Leave one of your own special tokens behind, to show them your appreciation! Check the board at the Arts & Sciences Pavilion to see the class lists. Sign-up for classes begins at 9 am on Thursday, at the Arts & Sciences table.
  • Bardic: Carpe Luxuriam’s Prize Bardic: Time: sign-ups open at 6:30 pm; competition begins at 7 pm. Are you a singer, storyteller, poet, or musician? Come share your performance around our fire and compete for the chance to win exciting prizes! Prizes vary each year but often include camp furniture, furs, jewelry, and alcohol (for those of age). New performers who’ve never competed and/or have been performing at SCA events for less than a year get a small prize just for showing up!
  • Camp Decorating Contest: Judging will be 3pm Saturday with Prizes Awarded, with Trick or Treating to be held Saturday 3–4pm and 7–8pm.

EVENTS

  • Angels Baronial Championship - Equestrian - Saturday, October 8th 10am - Noon: Their Excellencies of Angels invite all riders to vie for the opportunity to become Their Equestrian Champion Saturday, October 8th from 10am-Noon at Great Western War. Riders and their mounts are encouraged to participate in Halloween themed costume! Participants will defend the Baron and Baroness from the Headless Horsemen, retrieve and deliver bags of candy to Their Excellencies, and then demonstrate the best attributes of their mounts and celebration of the season in a 3-5 minute display of their choosing - riders wishing to use music need to bring their own device to play it from. Youth are invited to participate in the activities as well, and will have the opportunity to learn more about general horse care. Youth who choose to participate will ride stick horses in some of the activities. A Youth Champion will also be chosen. Also, rather than have the Trick or Treat time from 7-8pm in Equestrian Saturday evening after court, Their Excellencies have graciously allowed it to be part of the end of the Equestrian event due to the possible length of court activities that evening.
  • Bardic Night at the Beggar's Inn - Saturday, October 8th
  • Valkyrie Rose Tournament - Sunday Morning, October 9th: Come celebrate the pageantry and Chivalry of the medieval era. This tournament was the creation of Caid's beloved Duchess Kolfinna, and the Caidan Order of the Rose invite all attending Royal Consorts past and present to sponsor fighters to participate. Ladies/Lords of the Rose, please assemble at the Caid Royal Encampment (banners are encouraged) to process to the battlefield Sunday morning of Great Western War. Fighters should meet on the field. We will then line up according to (rough) precedence, and introduce our fighters. You may sponsor UP TO 2 armored and 2 rapier combatants, but only one Knight or MoD per style. The Roses will confer to determine the most chivalrous fighter from each style, for which the coveted banners will be bestowed. Because the tourney is named in honor of the Valkyrie who has gone on to Valhalla, participants are encouraged to wear her favorite color orange in her memory. (This is not a requirement.)
