Greetings all,

August 2-4, 2002, the Barony of Three Mountains
(Portland, Oregon) will be holding an event focused on
the tournament and the tournament fighter. It will be
an event with classes for those interested in
furthering their fighting skills and those interested
in supporting one of the central activities of the
SCA.

To this end, we would like to include a track of
classes that focus on heraldry as it pertains the
armored combatant and the tournament.

We would like to include classes on Field Heraldry,
and one on the importance Heraldic Display at a
minimum, but would welcome suggestions for other
heraldry classes that fit the event focus. Perhaps
one called, “What every fighter should know about
Heraldry”… ?

If you would like to instruct on one of these topics,
please contact me at khalja@yahoo.com as soon as
possible.

For more information about Sport of Kings: The Academy
of Armored Combat, you may wish to visit our website

Thank you for your consideration.

Khalja Khorkoi
Supervising Autocrat Sport of Kings

P.S. I would very grateful if someone could forward
this to the An Tir Heralds list.

Noble friends, (please excuse the cross-posting of this message)

Here’s the latest re: the upcoming Sport of Kings Event, held August 2-4
in the Barony of Three Mountains:

–Duke Paul Belatrix’s Perception and Movement class is FULL. His
Saturday classes are getting full, but the Sunday one has several spots
left. There has been much interest in all the classes at this event. If
you are going to be taking classes, get your registration in RIGHT
AWAY. The event website is
http://www.currentmiddleages.org/events/sportofkings/ and has the class
schedule and registration info.

–Two new classes have been added:
* Track One – Tournament support skills on Saturday, 9am-10am

HL Rauokinn Eyverska, 10 page handout, $2 fee, This class
will address from a woman’s perspective:
basic sword and shield technique, power generation, physical
and
psychological issues and non-issues, armoring so that you may
fight
comfortably in your armor, and attitude on and off the field.
Bring armor. First half of class is to be lecture and
discussion. Second half is hands on in armor. If you do not
have armor, you can still take the class, there are plenty of
techniques that can be
practiced without armor
