Founding Revel

There will be various snacks served mid-afternoon to stave off the
low blood sugar beast and the served feast will be inspired by 16th
Century German recipies.

Please be prepared for the weather!  This will be an
indoor/outdoor event. 

Ivon and Hlutwige, Lord and Lady Stromgard herewith invite all
artisans to vie for the honour of being named their StormMaker,
Champion of the Arts and Sciences of the Barony of Stromgard at
Founding Revel, February 7 (2015) in the Barony of Stromgard (Clark
and Skamania Cos, WA). Those wishing to compete for this title must
inform Their Excellencies no later than An Tir 12th Night (2015)
and submit a Letter of Intent to Their Excellencies at morning
court at the event.

General Expectations of Champions;
Champions must swear fealty to the
Coronet.
Champions will serve for one year. Requirements and acceptability
are set by the Coronet.
The champion is expected to protect the Coronet and members of the
populace at events.
The champion is responsible for working with the Steward of the
champion’s event to arrange for the tournament to choose his
or her successor. The format of the tournament should be approved
by the Coronet.
The champion should strive to encourage participation within the
Barony in their field.
The Champion may display the regalia of their
position.

Each competitor will be required
to research and document two (2) complete and distinct entries plus
an entry to be created on site the day of the tournament (see
“Mystery Box” below).
Competitors will be required to make a fire using flint and steel.
We recommend competitors procure a set of flint and steel with
which to practice prior to the tournament. A place for competitors
to make their fire, various tinders, wood and charcoal will be
provided. http://www.pantherprimitives.com/catalog22/Catalog22web.pdf

Now, there is the matter of the
third entry;

Competitors are allowed to have
one person who will serve as advisor/assistant/helper. Each
competitor will be given a “Mystery Box” filled with
various items (all Mystery Boxes will have identical contents). The
competitor and their advisor will have 10 minutes to work out a
plan for the entry based on the contents of the Mystery Box. There
will be at least six areas from the arts and sciences to choose
from. Once competitors have made a decision, they and their
advisors will visit the “sideboard” for five minutes.
Competitors and their advisor may trade item for item from the
Mystery Box to the sideboard for needed/wanted items. Competitors
may also trade item for item with each other.

Time is up! Competitors and
their advisors will have three hours to create the third entry
using the items in the Mystery Box and the fire the competitor must
build.

Champion, to be the StormMaker, wear the cloak, display your work,
