Great People of An Tir, Oyez, Oyez!

 

Words
of Glory and Fame of our noble Kingdom have spread to the far
most regions of the world.

In my
land of Nihon (Japan), rumors of great warriors reached our
champion Lord Kyoto no Takeda who wishing to best only the
best seeks a tourney in our fair lands. His arrival brings
great joy as many have waited a lifetime to cross swords with
such a great master.

Unbeknown to us
tragedy strikes the evening of Friday, the 6^th of
August, A.S. XLIV, the body of Lord Takeda is found, his life
drained. Treachery is in the air! It is up to you to find the
clues, discover the assassin(s) and restore Honor to our
Kingdom. Should you fail, diplomacy and trade could be lost
forever!

 

Come
join us for a historical SCA event, one like never seen
before in our lands. There will be fighting, A&S, Mounted
Combat Archery (yes, our own fearsome barrel horse will be
ready for those who wants to try their luck at adventure).
M’lady Lezlie of Silverhart will be running a Siege
Cooking Competition (think Iron Chef… taste and
presentation) and Kids Kyogen mask and fan painting, possibly
an improvised kid’s Kyogen play. Who knows what else!
Be a part of a first ever all Japanese event.
