Tourney o’ Love is back! It’s time for Endewearde’s annual Tourney o’ Love to decide who will be the next Champeen o’ Love. There will be three individual competitions for those who wish to compete for the coveted Pink Baldric; competitors must fence, fight, and enter an A&S project.
There are spaces for classes so reach out to Endewearde’s Minister of Arts and Sciences with questions about scheduling. There will be fencing, fighting, dancing, music, an A&S competition, and Baronial Court. A grand dayboard is included in the site fee, and a feast will be held at the end of the day for the first 80 people to preregister for the feast at an additional fee. It will be a jam-packed event that you will not want to miss!
A&S Competition: Our theme this year is Vikings and Saxons. Competitors should have an A&S entry that is based around this theme. The competitors’ entrees will be judged by a select panel and the populace.
Heavy Weapons Tourney: Format TBD
Fencing Tourney: Format TBD
