Septentria was well-represented at
the Kingdom A&S fair. Lady Catherine Redewell from Eoforwic was a
Pentathlon entrant. Just a few of the
highlights: Lady Anne of Saffron Walden
displayed a liturgical cloth woven from flax grown in a church garden, then
processed and handspun. THL Liadin had a wonderful display of scribal resources
and examples. THL Medb, the outgoing
Pent champion, displayed sugarpaste playing cards. Lady Lucrece de Montsoreau displayed a
comprehensive project on horned headdresses, including two completed hats.
The Ealdormere Academy of Defense
also hosted the playing of four Provost prizes.
New preceptor Lady Jocelyn organized the event and invited Don Giovanni
from Trimaris to visit and help give those playing their prizes a little good
competition (as this was the first group to attempt the Provost prize, and part
of the rules involves fighting others who already hold the rank). Don Giovanni also presented a German
longsword class to both rapier and armoured fighters before the tourney
began. Septentria’s THL Gareth Campbell
was successful in playing his Provost prize and invested with a scarf making
him one of Ealdormere’s first three Provosts in the Ealdormere Academy of
Defense.
The victor in the Pentathlon was Lady
Alais de Poitiers from Skraeling Althing. Lady Rilla then handed the reins of
the A&S office over to Mistress Keja—who was then surprised by being placed
on vigil by Their Majesties for the Order of the Laurel
