Highlights
- Brief listing of major points of the day
From the Event Facebook Announcement
In ancient days lost in the mists of time, fantastical beasts and magical beings dwelled in the lands of Dreiburgen. In this past year, the return of dangerous dragons threatened our lands, which led to the Academia Draconis in defense. We now encourage the more benevolent of the magical creatures to return harmony to the barony. Their Excellencies Baron Ramvoldus and Baroness Kungund would like to invite you to join us in celebrating the 49th anniversary of the Barony dressed as mythological figures. Elves and faeries, unicorns and dragons, we welcome you!
SCHEDULE:
- 8:00 am - Site Opens
- 10:00 am - Opening Court (at Their Majesty's pleasure)

EVENT REGISTRATION: Adult Event Registration $25, Adult Member Discount Event Registration $20, Youth aged 17 and under are guests of the Barony. Payment using cash and checks only will be accepted on-site. Please make checks payable to SCA, Inc./Barony of Dreiburgen. There are no refunds.
SITE INFORMATION: The park typically has an entry fee, which we will be collecting as part of your site fee. Please let the rangers at the gate know that you are with the SCA, and you should be allowed to enter without payment.
LUNCH: Turkish Cafe. Even magical creatures need to relax! Come and chill at our Turkish style cafe! Amenities include: Donation lunch to benefit Dreiburgen (requested $10) Donation snowcones to benefit the Kingdom (requested $5) Beatrix Honeybourne’s Starbee’s hot drinks (Free, but she pays for it all herself, so tips are GREATLY appreciated!)
ARMORED COMBAT TOURNAMENT: Standard double elimination tourney. Then in the semifinals the fighters will pick a coin from the Cauldron of Fate. The coin determines the weapon each fighter will use in the match. Finals are best 2 out of 3.
RAPIER AND CUT & THRUST TOURNAMENTS: The spirits have been angered by all this celebrating! The Cairns have been disturbed and as blood falls on the ground, the spirits slowly wake. Join us for our Cut & Thrust and Heavy Rapier tournaments. Stay for shenanigans. Each combatant will have lives based on their ranking. MoDs will have 1 life, Argent Blades will have 2, Duelists 3, and unranked fighters will have 4. When (if) you are eliminated, you will become an angry spirit. Stand on the sidelines and seek vengeance on those that fell you by hurling your deadly spirit energy at the remaining combatants. All defeated fighters will receive 3 projectiles. Once per combat, after the marshal announces “The spirits awaken!” you may throw your projectile, disabling any limb hit, and paralyzing your victim if you hit them in their torso or upper opening. Standard 120° engagement applies to the projectiles, so getting hit in the back will not harm any combatant. These spirits may be angry, but they still have some honor left. Finals for C&T and Rapier will be best 2 out of 3 with fighters bringing their best forms. Any spirits with energy left may stand at the sidelines as usual, as long as they do not stand in front of, or directly across from, Royal or Baronial seating.
