Households of An Tir, hear this challenge to raise your banners, gather your strength and skill, hire mercenaries, and vie for the Banner War Prize Chest!

Martial Contests/Activities: War points will be given for heavy armored combat (including combat archery), rapier, youth armored combat, target archery, thrown weapons, arts and sciences (cooking, costume, games, darts, bardic, dance), volunteering, youth/children’s activities, encampment and heraldry contests, and more!

The Non-Martial Contests/Activities will all have war- or heraldry-related themes.

Households intending to compete must present themselves at opening court with their banner on display, and donate to the prize chest. Heavy war bands must have a war banner on the field. (HINT: there are war points for best war banner, best court presentation…)

Volunteers are needed, especially for Gate, and will be rewarded with war points!
