In charge of our expedition was Mistress Julia of Blackwater with her famous Blackwater Mead. I met so many friends at that event that are still friends even to this day. Mark Lacey of Westminister and Hieronymus the Sarabite showed me how to find the star constellation Orion, even though it took forever because of my poor eyesite (Thanks guys!) I also met Johann von hohen Staffen and was quite charmed by him when he sung in the bardic a song dedicated to me.Duchessmalindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08164982443564634704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855414328374754222.post-37449932739875817802008-10-28T00:39:00.000-06:002008-10-28T00:39:00.000-06:00The other fighter is Glenm, Theodric is in front and Dona Segovia is the lady.

We had held a party the night before my birthday at Theo's house where we finished up last minute projects, including making coffee can luminarios to light up Outlandish. At midnight Wilhelm of the Bogs kidnapped me and took me to a nearby bar for a legal drink. It was the best Outlandish ever!Duchessmalindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08164982443564634704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855414328374754222.post-3535144188450303002008-10-28T00:21:00.000-06:002008-10-28T00:21:00.000-06:00It was a very cold day and some of us had stupidly thought we would brave the elements and camp there overnight Friday. We had Stone pavilions and tarps to work with to shield us from the wind, but the wind was blowing hard and kept finding its way in. There was a waist high wall around ¾ of the pavilion, with a solid wall at one end, but it kept getting colder and the wind blew harder. We tried anchoring the tarps down with anything and everything, but most of the tarps were small and only went from the roof to the waist high wall. We used big river rocks, and armor to anchor the tarps, then finally, exhausted, we slumbered. Our numbers included Heinrich (who won the tournament, Johann von hohen-Staffen, and Stefan the Wanderers, myself, and a few other brave die-hards. In the wee hours of dawn Stefan woke up cursing a blue streak, waking all around him. It seems he had placed his helmet on the wall to anchor the tarp, but then laid down just below it. Stefan was struck so hard by his own helmet we feared he had a concussion. I sat up with him talking until Beau arrived. I don’t believe he fought in that crown tourney.<BR/>Duchess Malinda hohen van KesterDuchessmalindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08164982443564634704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855414328374754222.post-37460368503115267322008-10-20T09:49:00.000-06:002008-10-20T09:49:00.000-06:00Duke Martino visited Blaiddwyn's Wednesday night practice October 15, and there are some photos here:<BR/><A HREF="http://sandradodd.blogspot.com/2008/10/marty-in-armor.html" REL="nofollow">http://sandradodd.blogspot.com/2008/10/marty-in-armor.html</A>AElflaed of Duckfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15287405407681665833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855414328374754222.post-8968317511660626952008-05-31T12:21:00.000-06:002008-05-31T12:21:00.000-06:00I attended my first event, Feast of Fools, at Tygre's Keep (at Bemis Hall).<BR/><BR/>A couple of weeks later, I became Chronicler of Tygre's Keep.<BR/><BR/>Other College officers at the time:<BR/>Algirdas is Sakai was Seneschal.<BR/>Ladonis of Cyprus (later registered as Mikhailovskaia Ladonessa) was Hospitaller, Reeve & Herald.<BR/>Connor (?)

The style of the tournament of the day is 6' FOOT SPEAR, NO BUTT SPIKE . You must be authorized in this weapon style to participate. As is now the usual practice, he who Wins the list will receive a weapon of some type. He who Places will receive silver and lo, he who Shows will receive… something. Don’t forget that THL Anastasiia or her representative will be on hand to give victors of the list the opportunity to get a better (or worse) prize! Points will be given for Winning, Placing and Showing and do not forget that Most Chivalrous and Best Death on the Field will also receive points. The tournament will be fought best of three, double elimination. <BR/> <BR/>Please remember that to gain entrance into these Lists, a toy is to go to THL Anastasiia (or her representative) for the Toys for Tots drive or you may present to her (or her representative) at the time of the List the sum of $5.00 for her to purchase toys on your behalf. One toy or the price of one toy ($5.00 minimum) is all you need to enter although if you deem it necessary to donate more, the children will appreciate it, I am sure!<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>For those of you interested in the standings for the Unbelted Tournaments to date, after six tournaments, these are they;<BR/><BR/>THL Dietrich von Andernach Citadel 13 pts.<BR/><BR/>Baron Nikolaus von Stahlburg Citadel 6 pts.<BR/><BR/>Lord Wolf von der Muhle-Eckart Citadel 5 pts.<BR/><BR/>Count Alrik Boleslavsson Drygestan 4 pts.<BR/><BR/>THL Corbin de Heather Nahrun Kabirun 2 pts.<BR/><BR/>Lord Stephen North Blackwater Keep 2 pts.<BR/><BR/>Lord Li al-Barran 2 pts.<BR/><BR/>Lord Bardolf al-Barran 2 pts.<BR/><BR/>Antonius Valerius St. Golias 2 pts. <BR/><BR/>Sir Gunndiarfr Gleann Medonach 1 pt. <BR/><BR/>(Alas, Sir Gunndiarfr, having attained the accolade the day he won points in this tournament series, has been, regrettably, disqualified as he is now a knight of the Realm and no longer eligible to participate - Hurrah and Bully for you Sir Knight on your elevation to the Peerage!!!)<BR/><BR/>Lord Eirik Mhartain Nahrun Kabirun 1 pt.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Fifteen other combatants to date have yet to receive points, but don’t count them out!<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Remember that you Win for 3 pts., Place for 2 pts, and Show for 1 pt. You can also receive 2 pts. for Most Chivalrous and 1 pt. for Best Death on the Field. Points for Most Chivalrous and BDotF can be awarded to the same person and can also be awarded to an entrant who Wins, Places or Shows. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Please know that there are many unbelted fighters who have not partaken of this series of tournaments. No worries as there is no time like the present to jump into the series. Fight when you can and do your best!<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>The site is on the southern or Grant Street side of Memorial Park in the Citadel. To get there, take your best route to I - 10. Exit on Piedras Street from either direction. If coming from the East, turn north or right onto Piedras. If coming from the West, turn north or left onto Piedras. Continue on Piedras past a set of railroad tracks and make the first right, heading east, onto Grant Street. Continue on Grant until you come to the circular parking area in the park on the left.<BR/><BR/>The weather, if such things are to be trusted by non-weather gods, will be sunny in the upper 90's. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Be well and fight hard –<BR/><BR/>Sir BeroldSandra Doddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855414328374754222.post-52502391207605002992008-05-01T02:30:00.000-06:002008-05-01T02:30:00.000-06:0022-23 Nov 1980 was Outlands Coronet Tourney in Loch Salann<BR/><BR/>Winner was Kveldulfr av Ulfsgaard, who chose Katlin (Yelisveta Katlin Savrasova) to be his princess.<BR/><BR/>At opening court (22 Nov 80) I resigned as White Stag Herald for the Principality of the Outlands and Anton Hojen was warranted as the new White Stag.

The next king kinda un-squared them somewhat anyway.<BR/><BR/>Because of that and another such incident or two (reading laws aloud), when I was steward I defined that as publication and announcement instead of a full reading. If just a law or three were changed, reading them is good. If lots were changed, summary and a public place where they could be viewed right after court would do.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea how or if any of that was maintained in later years.<BR/><BR/>AElflaedSandra Doddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855414328374754222.post-69864070438711560462008-04-24T17:00:00.000-06:002008-04-24T17:00:00.000-06:00That account of arriving first at Grand Outlandish was by Baldwin of Erebor.

I was a principality officer, and was called by a kingdom officer saying three of the kingdom officers and a baron and baroness had been discussing the possibility of a kingdom petition. I got a call asking me to help on September 17. <BR/><BR/>September 21 and 22 at al-Barran Baron's Champion Tournament there were meetings both days to discuss the problems and possibilities. <BR/><BR/>The first mailing of proposals and ideas went out to the whole principality September 25. Fourteen devices had been drawn up by Mistress Rodema with the input of many and the advice of three prominent heralds of the day: Saerlaith, Mark Lasie and Keridwen.
