Its amazing the difference a good event can do for a tarnished outlook. At war is the desert after a mediocre meal. I love this event like I use to love Clinton a dozen years ago. Bit of a mixed bag of photos this time, lots of court, and some of the party.

Lots of rapier fighters, but no really good way to st a photo without getting mundane stuff in the background.

Happy to see the Mini-yurt in the Drachenwald encampment. I took the shot while on the ground so it, and the standards look bigger than they really are.

Obligatory shot of buffalo.

I entered a Triangular stool in the A&S contest. I had Mistress Safiye, Alicia, & Elizabeth Blencowe as my judges. They were very inquisitive & supportive.

Princess of Avacal held a Childrens Court prior to the Uber court.

11 royals in attendance. I have never seen a court that big before (sheltered life).

HE Sir Savric receiving a ______. I seriously can’t remember which award he received…. Bad Mary, I blame the evil wonder twin.

King Owain recognizing those people who have helped him reign .

Queen Caoimhe telling the court about the amazing generosity of a An Tir Armorer. Making and sending  legs to fighters in South Africa.

Aine Inghean Ui Chonchobhair  was entered into the order of Hospitler of Albion. A Drachenwald order for people from outside the kingdom that help the kingdom…alot!

Hraði inn Rakki joined the ranks of the Black Dragon Guards. Those special few awesome people who are entrusted with guarding The king & Queen of Drachenwald.

Uiliam was made a Beer Star… err  L’Etoile d’Argent for his prowess with Hops & Barley…etc

A segment of the Rapier community were presented as the newest Tir Righian Guild.  The Company of Defense will be students of period methods of  Cut & Thrust Combat.

They even put on a bit of a demo for the gathered  royals and court .

The Princes of Tir Righ and Avacal hamming it up.

Then the best part of the War… The Eric party.  Smaller social gathering were happening in encampments, but a large portion of the near 400 people in attendance  came out to party with one and all.

Spear the beer… not my favorite, but always a crowd pleaser.

Dana & Dale

The evil wonder twin & I being stupid.

Dana left Dale in our custody for a while….. Madness I say! Madness.

More Stupid

Dale kills her first man!

Azemar…. Not sure….

Hraði inn Rakki blinded by my flash… I put the camera away…. except for this one last image. My Favorite by Far!

My Evil Wonder Twin Eleanor the beer cooler.

It totally sucks that the next AT war is 52 weeks away!
