Ideas For Arms

The evening's festivities started out with a shield making session and a short curia, where the shire's officers introduced themselves and described their offices to the populace of the shire.

This was our long awaited Turnabout Tourney, autocrated by Rosemary the Starseeker. Our shire's non-fighters made excellent showings for themselves and an excellent show for the shire. The night's field marshalls were Gallowglass and Lord Robert.

As most of the shire members know Armorer's Guild meets at the residence of Sister Scholastica. But rumor has it, Armorer's Guild is really a cover. That she is really running a school for wayward warriors. She being the Mother Superior. As her fighting prowess clearly indicated by her victory at the tournament.

The ladies of the shire were also entertained by the daring of our shire's menfolk in an exhibition extraordinary of their comely limbs. The contest was won by the mysterious Milord Blue Sox known usually to us as Lee Greystone.

The night ended with the usual passing of awards. Dardya of Dragonfire was the recipient of the List of Grace and the List of Chivalry went to Charles of Galway. Willa Myopia was the winner of the Best Shield Competition and Charles of Galway won Best Favor. Albrecht von Heldenkreis won the Best Death Award and gave us an excellent instant replay.
