Starkhafn Polling Orders

The Barony has five polling orders, bestowed by the Baron and Baroness based on recommendations from members of the different Orders. Members of the Orders are polled at Starkhafn Yule, in consultation with Their Excellencies, to determine those individuals who may be worthy of recognition. New members of the Orders are traditionally elevated at Starkhafn Anniversary. The four original polling orders were created by the 3rd Baron and Baroness, Antonius and Créd. The fifth order was created by Robartach and Gyda. The premiers of this order were instated at Starkhafn's Cèilidh virtual event on October 31, 2020 (A.S. 55).

Flame Artisans of Starkhafn

Flameartisan.jpg The title of Flame Artisan is granted to the Artisan chosen from the Flame Artisan Contest annually at Starkhafn Anniversary. The creation of the Flame Artisan was brought to life by Mistress Melisande de Frayne to provide a forum for Artisans to display not just one or two entries, but showcase their body of work across a variety of Arts and Sciences categories. Both unfinished and completed works are displayed. This allows the Artisans to exhibit the breadth of their interests and skills. The Flame Artisan is chosen by a judging team that consists of the previous Flame Artisans, the Baron and Baroness and visiting Royals.

Flame Bards of Starkhafn

Each year a new Flame Bard has been chosen by competition either around a campfire or at Yule. Along with the title of Flame Bard, the champion is given a leather bound book to inscribe their winning entry. This book is passed to each successive Flame Bard.

Starkhafn Quintivium Champions

Adultquintivium.jpg In order to vie for the Quintivium Cup, entrants must compete in each of the five different Baronial championships held at Starkhafn's Anniversary. When this competition was first created, the five areas were the Arts and Sciences, Archery, Armored, Rapier and Equestrian competitions. In recent years, Starkhafn no longer has Equestrian. The categories for Quintivium now include Thrown Weapons, Brewing and Baking. The winner is the competitor who scored or placed the highest overall the five areas combined. A lovely drinking vessel with the title, Quintivium Champion is presented to the winner.

Starkhafn Warlord

StarCoffin.jpg The Baron's Warlord or Starkhafn Warlord tourney, was first held at Talon Crescent War II. It has been held annually at Starkhafn's Anniversary ever since. The Warlord Tourney is held after the Baronial Armored Champion Tourney and can only be entered by combatants who have competed in that Tourney. The entrants fight one on one until only one warrior is left standing, that is the Warlord. The victor leads the Starkhafn Levy on the field of battle next to the Baron when they are both on the battlefield or in the place of the Baron if he is unable to take the field.
