(event report from the Performing
Arts Guild)This past weekend at our Shire's main event Cutlasses and Corsairs,
we had a great time. The afternoon started off with a class on the progression
of English Church music during the Renaissance, taught by Dr. Claire Scott (an
expert in Early Music). Later on there were two Bardic Competitions.
First, the Minstrels and Bards in our Shire of Castlemere (Jacksonville, FL) for
the right to be the Bard of Castlemere. It was a great competition and not
wanting to seem boastful, I was chosen as the winner. Anyway, the real fun
kicked in when we held the "Warrior Bard of Trimaris" competition, which is open
to all who were at the event. There were a lot of exciting participants
and it was tough to pick a winner:
Warrior Bard & Musical
Arts..............Lord Corwyn
Spoken Arts..............Jean Francesca
Jongleur Arts.............Rhiannon Bjornsdottir
Being a bit of a homer,
I would like to commend two fairly new members of our Shire who participated in
their first major Bardic Competitions: Sorsha inghean Leod & Thorunn
Viggedatter (Herr Wilhelm Frawenlop)
Gulf Wars VIII
Talewinds, February AS XXXIII, 1999 On 3-9/14-99 the 8th
Annual Gulf Wars will be held at Kings Arrow Ranch in Lumberton Mississippi.
There will be battles, tourneys, live weapons, archery, equestrian competitions,
greyhound coursing, numerous Art/Sci competitions and a variety of classes.
There will be tons of shopping and children's activities.
(Event report) The
war has been dubbed "Flood Wars, A River Runs Through it" among other names I've
heard, but that one is my favorite. Things were going very well up until
Thursday, then the Gods decided we were having too much fun and put an end to
all that. We got torrential rain and wind gusts in excess of about 50 mph. Then
it got cold as well. By Friday, Hell really broke loose. They were trying to
decide what to do about the battles when the Gods stepped in again and made the
decision for them. The lightning showed up with more rain and wind in it's wake.
By noon on Friday, all war point activities had been canceled. The Gods won that
battle. However, they couldn't win the battle over fun. There were many
die-hards who, like myself, decided that we had driven this far and, by (or
despite) the Gods we were at least going to party!!!! So we partied...and
partied...and partied! :) By Friday night, about 1/3 of the people had left site
and headed home. By Saturday night we down to about 1/10 or less. But we still
did our best to make up for those who left. The Calontir Royal encampment has
suffered sever damage in the storms and they ended up in a vacated cabin next to
the Trimaris Ghetto (mostly An Crosaire and friends). Mistress Elfwyn had been
running a camp kitchen for and with about 40 of us, but half of them had left by
Saturday. We had plenty-o-food, so we invited the entire Calontir encampment to
join us. Then we added the An Tir Royalty as well as the King of the Outlands.
We all got dressed in the best garb we had with us, and hosted a Royal dinner
for 3 Kingdoms. After the meal we all enjoyed a Bardic session for about
an hour and a half. We kept trading back and forth, taking turns between
the Kingdoms represented, in sharing some kind of entertainment. We had an
incredibly good time! The next morning (Sunday) we fed them again for breakfast.
We received a lovely surprise that morning. The Calontirians sent over a gift
basket with many goodies to share among everyone who hosted them as a thank you
for the hospitality. One of their Knights (I'm ashamed to admit that I
don't remember his name) told me how amazed they all were that we'd just take
them in like that. I told him that this sort of thing is what we're all here
for. The War is really for friendship.....the fighting is just an excuse to get
there for it. I myself had a wonderful time. I spent every evening going around
to different encampments with my guitar and songbook. I was amazed at the ease
with which I was welcomed wherever I went. I know what that Calontir Knight felt
like, but had forgotten until I went to the War. Then when
it was our turn
to do the welcoming, it was so natural that we never even thought twice about
it.
That, in and of itself, was worth the 1000+ mile round trip and
even the storms. Master Rurik Petrovitch Stoianov
Spring Coronation

County - Alain de Viellechamps, Oldenfeld
County & Order of the Rose
- Judith Maryse, Oldenfeld
At the end of TRM Alain and Judith's court, tragedy struck, King Alain was handed a poison cup and he died immediately. Insincere words of condolences were uttered by TRH Tearlach and Cathlin, and an offer of protection was given to Queen Judith. She wisely declined and stated that she would prefer to retire to her estates in the far north of Trimaris. Tearlach then claimed the throne by his own hand and the populace acclaim and placed the crown on his own head. He proclaimed Cathlin as his queen. At this moment a stranger appeared in court claiming the throne as his right, claiming to be Gaston, the older brother of Alain. He stated that he was sent on a quest to the far south and was lost in the land of ice and snow and stupid flightless birds for one day and one night. They were a long day and night. On his return he had received word that his brother had taken the throne, and now he finds that a stranger was on the throne. After a short discussion, complete with sword and spear points, Gaston decided that his claim to the throne was not that important and he would retire to the estates of his brother along with his brothers wife. (In this action, Alain de Viellechamps managed to change his name to Gaston)

Lion's Tourney
Talewinds, April AS XXXIII, 1999 On 4-16/18-99, The
Shire of Oldenfeld presents Lion's Tourney at Camp Indian Springs. Autocrat,
Lord Alexander Gervais d'Argent Mer, Feastcrat Lady Catalina Magdalena.
(Event report)Did you ever go to an event where a few days later you're
still shaking your head about how great it was? Lion's tourney was that kind of
event. Much praise should be showered on Lord Cedric of Dorchester for the
amazing pas d'armes that he organized... It was loads of fun, and I loved how it
brought fighters and non-fighters together for the afternoon... Feast was also
great, although I am quite biased, due to the fact that I had the great honor
and privilege of escorting Her Majesty to feast, due to the fact that His
Majesty was at another event in the southern reaches of our fair kingdom. Wlad

(Event report ) Unfortunately, the site of Panhandle Skirmishes
had another event booked at the same time. The weekend celebration of Earth Day,
with lots of live bands and loud music. Since the site was not separated, there
were a number of mundanes wandering through the encampment and watching the
activities. Although this was suppose to be battles between Trimaris and
Meridies, Meridies royalty canceled out due to a major event in Meridies.
Therefore, it turned out to be a giant fighter practice along with a few
Meridians who came. (Natasha)
reported by David Archer"Panhandles was
great. LOTS of great fighting, some really good parties Saturday night, (Special
thanks to Crimson Fist). Fighting wise we had 2 field battles, one resurrection,
capture the flag battle, a Knights VS all battle, that got a bit confusing, and
to finish it off we had 2 bridge
battles. The site was great though I could
have skip the Earth Day music. I personally can't wait to go again next year,
it's was well worth the trip from south west florida. I'd like to thank anyone
out there that was a water bearer, you guys did a really great job. I surprised
how many different people showed up to help cool off us fighters. You guys
really are an importune part of fighting. I'd also like to thank Lady Cassandra
and Golden Lion for handing out those snow cones, they were a godsend to us
fighters."

Feastcrat Baroness Laura de Botelesford.
Orson O'Donald won the crested helm
lyst
(Event report)It was a FABULOUS event! An Crosaire has every
reason to be very proud of its
most noble canton, Mathom Trove. I was
delighted by the event (and the gang in Mathom Trove spoiled me rotten!) The
Crested helm tourney was most enjoyable. There were over 20 contenders,
and the creativity and artistry shown in the creation of the helms was most
inspiring! Further, the chivalry and courtesy shown on the field was
ideal. Throughout the day, the only negative was the incredible heat.
Although Mathom Trove did everything they could to help the situation, including
providing fans to the ladies, which was quite a nice touch! While I was unable
to attend these particular activities, the event also boasted the Queen's Yeoman
tourney and the wedding of Earl Seosaidh and his good lady, Ysabeau.
Anybody with further descriptions, please join in! Court was most
interesting. Humorous highlights included, among other things, a most
comfy seat at the feet of Her Majesty (ehem!), His Majesty's amusement with
written words, a talking Dolphin, and "Log." And of course, court
culminated with the elevation of Trimaris' first Triple Peer, Earl Benen.
His Excellency was elevated into the Order of the Pelican amidst much emotion
and celebration. I don't believe I've ever seen my Grampa Baron Taly ever
so overcome with emotion. It was a very proud moment. Benen's
ceremony included kind words from all of the peerages, and the receival of a
most beautiful cloak made by his lady-wife, Countess Rosabel. It was quite
a historic moment, and one that I was most pleased to witness. Feast was most
delicious and QUITE stuffing. I actually had to skip dessert, as I was
most full (and that is QUITE a feat!) Mistress Laura kept up to her very
typical high standards of excellence, and filled everyone's belly. Later on in
the evening, there was a general celebration in the hall for Earl Benen's
elevation and also in honor of Seosaidh's and Ysabeau's nuptials. Earl
Benen was given a most beautiful glass-topped triangular wooden box with each of
the peerage motifs carved on the sides and inscribed on the glass. The box
held an INCREDIBLE triple-peerage medallion made by a combined effort of House
Ac Dubh. If I am not mistaken, the design was provided by Countess Maisie,
and the medallion was cast by Milady Toiree (I KNOW I'm spelling that
wrong.) It is a most impressive piece of work. My report must end here, as
I was quite tired from the event, and done in from the heat, and thus returned
to my cabin for some rest. In summation, I am most grateful to the hosts of the
event, and to the courtesy and chivalry extended all around. Fighters, the
displays of heraldry were simply wonderful. I laud all of your
efforts. Would that I were able to fight myself, I would count myself a
very lucky man to be part of your fine company. Messer Giuseppe Francesco da
Borgia, Seventh Barone, Barony of Wyvernwood.
Leather & Lace Wars
On 5-14/16-99 the Shire of Brineside Moor
presents Leather and Lace Wars held at Camp Cricket. Events include archery

lyst, with a rapier field for FIVE HOURS! More fencing than you could
shake a stick at! Planned are several Tavern Brawls, including a "Ladies Nite"
lyst, "New Authorized fighters" lyst, "Olde Fighters" lyst, "Drunkards" lyst,
and anything else the lyst master might dream up. There is a brewing display
scheduled also. Scheduled classes are a C.P.R. re- certification class; Ariana
Veneziano will teach a class on Rapier Armour or how to pass armor inspection
and still look good; Dulcia Macpherson teaching The evolution of Elizabethan
Costuming and a second class tips and techniques of Elizabethan costuming; Lady
Catherine Abernathy teaching Basic mead Brewing; Mistress Ann of Hendon teaching
The evolution of costuming early to late (or how your clothes change); Mistress
Damara Narrissa on how to make your encampment look more period. Autocrat Thomas
Skotkollr, Feastcrat Laird Ian MacBolotolph de Erroll
(event report by
Autocrat, Thomas Skotkollr) the winners of the lysts and the leather and lace
awards. Heavy weapons: Count Bo Kumoton he overwhelmingly took
both lysts the round robin and the bear pit .prize a black enameled steel shield
19 x 36 light weapons : Three categories first two went to Lord
Khalid prize: a white rapier shirt w/ lace, and a black leather reversible
frog for lefties or righties! Third category goes to Porthos of Glymmerhold:
prize a green buckler with a Leather and Lace symbol on it, by the way he seems
to be collecting our rapier prizes, is any one else interested in maybe getting
some of these? I am speaking directly to the dons here... Archery goes to Nail
who came from behind in the point standings to over take trikeen on the last
round, prize: a target with an arrow in the bulls eye and a archers tunic in
black and red. The leather prize was awarded to a lady from Darkwater for
the best early costume: Crisanthia De Grey The best Lace costume was won by a
lady from our own shire as of this time she has no name her mundane name is
Tammy Randall. We had eleven fighters show up for the day and we are very
appreciative for them since the king had fighter practice with dark sword this
past weekend and more than likely a lot of them were there. we had very
few archers so the rounds were started late and they were short as no one
brought there archery equipment nail and the list mistress allowed the
contestants to use the same equipment (no one has an advantage that way) the
rapier lysts were long and there were something like 8 fighters for this lyst as
well I also assume there were many at the fighter practice rather that our
event. The feast was beyond any other so far served no one was able to finish
the dinner the roman feast was awesome !! and the baklava although made with
walnuts was beyond excellence as well as the Spanish style pork and the beef
sirloin tip roast. We can say that Laird Ian MacBoltoph De Erroll is in the same
league as Lord Anon Nam Beanton, look for him to be doing it at martin mass ,
ohh are you gonna die for his food. Laird Ian will be Autocratting the event, so
be there . we had four impromptu performers for our feast and I cant thank them
enough Porthos told us a story and Khalid and his lady sang for us, as well as
our own grace who performed a lovely piece for us first. And lastly I would love
to thank all those who enjoyed my mead and light lagers after the feast. and
perhaps I might begin brewing the chocolate mead for some special occasion next
year, since people almost started a fight over it Saturday night(we only had one
12 oz bottle to spread around and the term liquid sex was used several times.)I
have to say for those who wanted to attend this event and didn't , I am truly
sorry, however you may be able to taste some of those feast foods at the next
assassins ball at the Myakka river state park on June 25th.

The Trimarian Cavalry
To the Good People of Trimaris do The Honorable
Lady Brenna Caitlin MacGrioghair and Lady Aurora Danielle Trevelyan send humble

about 33 authorized riders, 7 authorized equestrian marshals and 10 authorized
ground crew members. We were able to travel with our horses to Gulf Pours
where we had a splendid time slopping around in the mud with equestrians from
the all over the Known World. Our beloved Duchess Elina and her lord, Duke
Steven were even able to authorize as advanced members of the Trimarian Cavalry

great classes. The Honorable Lady Moyra MacGrioghair is putting the final
touches on the requirements for our new Equestrian College. We would like
to invite the populace to come and enjoy the horses with us at TMT. Jonush

A Summer Revel
On 7-23/25-99 the Shire of Nan Crioch Tuatha presents A
Summer Revel.
Since there was no official court business, no awards given,
no announcements, I am forwarding this well written, concise report of the
schitck that was court. Haakon
Greetings unto the fair and noble
Gentles of Trimaris!
The foul miscreant at A Summer Thang has been found!
With the help of the good, law abiding Gentles that attended the event,
seven possible evil doers were called before TRM at court for trial. Among the
accused miscreants were...
Earl Syr
Brendan... accused of deserting Trimaris in it's darkest hour, and intriguing
the fairer sex of our kingdom. < Vindicated... proven that he in fact did not
desert, but was sent on a scouting mission/ his accusers also could not prove
that intriguing the fairer sex was criminal>
Orson O'Donnald... accused of not sharing his air-conditioned hut.
<Vindicated... He did in fact offer his air-conditioned hut to HRM Cat upon
her arrival... as well as allowing many other gentles to partake of his hut's
coolness>
Saoirse Eilit Ni Floinn (Doe)... accused of
starting a food fight with HRM Tearlach at a feast... <Vindicated....as it
was not from her own hand that the first peice of food flew...and was found to
be entertaining the King>
Morgan the Pict...
accused of stirring up a ruckus and acting like a child... <Vindicated, on
account of hormonal imbalance due to pregnancy>
Cahir Na Coille Moire... accused of taking advantage of our kingdom's fair
ladies while they may not be in their cups, and public intoxication without
sharing...<Vindicated... it was deemed he only took advantage of the ladies
whilst they were in their cups, and he was able to prove that he did in fact
share by the size of his horn>
Lady Brenna
Jerra... accused of being far too beauteous, and for laughing at a gentle, not
once, but twice! <Vindicated... as HRM Cat saw nothing wrong with being
beauteous, nor with a good laugh.>
HRM
Tearlach... accused of the wetting of many good Gentles and innocent children,
fidgeting during court, skinning and leaving nekkid a gentle's pet cow, the
wearing of obscene cow printed shorts :::wonders where they came from::: and
worst of all... for not taking the fair lady Loki to the soiree....< Found
grossly guilty of all charges and more!>
Yes! Tis true! Our foul miscreant was in fact our own King! And to his honor, he
stood for his stoning with much bravery. His loyal guards Olaf and Hakkon
::::knows she can't spell...::: as well as the brave and chivalrous Earl Syr
Brendan stood as a wall to protect the King from the onslaught. The stoning was
fantastically horrible! Water stones sailed through the air with incredible
speed and number, the Kings protectors where covered in water! Their drippings
soak the ground! Oh! The humanity! Anyway... although the King's men tried
valiantly, some water stones did in fact slip through their walls to pelt the
King, but being the warrior he is... he made due with what he could find to pelt
the stoners back! In the end, the King was saved by his brave and loyal men, and
having taken his punishment... HRM Tearlach was then forgiven, and our faire
kingdom was once again considered a decent place to live!
At this time, The Shire of Peregrine Springs would
like to thank all the wonderful gentles who helped us flush out our miscreant,
The accused who good naturedly stood their trials, HRM Cat for being incredible
in her judgements of our miscreants, and above all... HRM Tearlach for taking
his punishment like the honorable man that he is! If not for all these people,
our stoning would not have been as grand as it turned out to be!
VIVAT TRIMARIS! In service to the Kingdom and the
Dream. Saoirse Eilit Ni Floinn
