May Champions

May 30, 2009 to May 31, 2009 -
Cold Keep

Prince George, BC
Autocrat: Lady Sibán

NEW! A sneak peek at the feast menu is now available!

Another winter has been endured and Cold Keep is greeting the spring by holding tournaments! All good gentles are invited to vie for the honour of representing our fair Shire as Heavy, Rapier, Archery, or Arts and Science Champion. There is something for everyone, so come cheer on all worthy participants. This is a two-day event to fit in all of the fun and competitions, and the opportunity to be a Cold Keep Champion!

The Peers of Cold Keep, Viscountesses Tatiana and Natal'ia, will be putting on a four-remove feast on Saturday night, followed by a dessert auction. Donations of desserts will be accepted until just before the feast.

It has been bruited around the Shire that Viscount Toryn has demanded that Viscountess Natal'ia leave her home and family in Cold Keep to attend him in Borealis. Her Excellency has refused, resulting in House Huscarle's stating that they intend to come to our peaceful Shire with the intent of removing the lady, by force of arms if needed. The Viscountess' own household, her brothers and sisters of the Wolfpack, are rallying their troops and the Shire of Cold Keep is mustering all levies to face this threat to one of our own. It is said the two groups plan to meet in battle on the morning of May 31st.
