EK Event Calendar listing

Martial Activities

All tournaments will showcase the talents of our novice warriors (within 2 years of their initial authorizations). 

Processions: 

The rattan and fencing tourneys will be preceded by a procession of the combatants with their consorts/inspirations.  If a contestant doesn’t have a consort or inspiration with them, one will be provided. Combatants will be able to authorize on the day of the tournament. 

There will also be archery and thrown weapons.

Fencing:

Classes:

Arts & Sciences

As the Arts and Sciences are an important and integral part of our Society, there will be A&S! The fourth Magistra Isabeau d’Orleans Novice Day Arts & Sciences Memorial Competition will be held. If you have never won a prize for Arts and Sciences at the baronial level or above, or if you have made something using a craft totally unfamiliar to you, feel free to enter! This day is all about encouraging creativity in new endeavors! There will be voting by both the Populace and the Laurels.

Is it time to register your name or design a new badge? There will be a heraldic consultation table, staffed by Novice Heralds (with a Senior Herald supervising).

Pets

Dogs are permitted. They must be leashed, and controlled. Dog waste must be picked up by owner. Failure to comply may result in ejection from site. In other words, if your dogs are found unleashed or cause any issues with other animals on site you can be asked to leave by Security and their word is final.

****SCHEDULE ADVISORY****

The schedule, especially for the tourneys, may be altered in the case of extreme heat or thunderstorms.  Please be prepared to be flexible, and don’t forget to bring water. Schedule details will be posted when available.
