This year’s War of the Trillium had a
timely theme: Ealdormere’s first-ever
Olympic Games. A variety of competitions
were held in all of the martial arts and in the arts and sciences, with
incredibly spiffy gold, silver, and bronze medals going to the victors. Each Barony was asked to provide a “national
anthem” that could be played while the baronial banner of the gold medal
winners was raised. Septentria opted for
her traditional battle song (written by Mistress Rhiannon). The anthem was heard many times, as
Septentria triumphed in the overall competition. The complete list of scores and medal winners
follows this report.
A short Baronial Court
In Kingdom Court Brentwood was commended
by the Chirurgeonate for his emergency services. Mistress Keja presented rings to Baroness
Cennedl and THL Jhone of Woodcote for their inspiration. Master Gaerred, at his last Ealdormerian
event, presented the profits from the Raven Pub at Crown Tourney, as well as a
collection of CDs by Marian and Hector, all to benefit the travel fund.
Many Septentrians were recognized
with awards in Court. Lady Marasali and Lady Tarian both received Maiden’s
Hearts, as did former Septentrian Lord Wulfgang Donnerfaust. Lady Anneke the Furious was given the Orion
for her embroidery work while Lord Grom of Eoforwic was given the Scarlet
Banner for his skill in thrown weapons. Also receiving a Scarlet Banner, for
his skill and enthusiasm in promoting archery, was Lord Michael of Brentwood .
Finally, Lady Medb ingen Dungaile was made a Companion of the Order of
the Crucible for her many skills, including research, cookery, sprang,
needlework, and beadwork.
Sunday saw the semi-annual Kingdom
Moot take place. There was a great deal
of discussion around awards for children in Ealdormere and whether or not more
were needed. There were a wide variety of opinions on all sides of the issue,
but consensus was reached that encouraging Ealdormere’s young people to form a
council and discuss what they would like to see would be an excellent next
step. The second major topic was around
whether or not there should be authorizations for archery. The archery marshals attending were of the
opinion that these were not needed as they control the line and are responsible
for shooters. The topic of award
recommendations was also raised, partially as a result of the discussion on
children’s awards.
Several who had sat the thrones previously or who were
currently reigning emphasized that they do not get enough award recommendations
and that anyone can recommend anyone for any award, including Peerages.
