Bardic

Sing of victory and strength, shout wordfame of warriors true! Wield words for fun as fighters do their weapons, and be welcome at our friendly bardic circle.

While the dayshade will be up and available for musical performances all day, the bardic proper will start at 1 PM with a theme of Victory in Battle, Fierce Fighters, and Battle Songs in general. All are welcome to join in the bardic, or just to listen!

Scribal

Before a warrior is welcomed to Valhalla, their accomplishments on earth earn recognition: in prowess on the field, in service to their fellows, in skill and dedication of craft. Indeed, there are many ways in which wordfame is wrought, and the notice of a valkyrie caught.

Hákon and Hrefna, noble Baronage of Ponte Alto, know that these commendations are one of Their more cheerful chores, and wish to ensure that They are prepared to give awards celebrating the brilliance of Their Barony. While not as impressive as Valhalla's golden halls, in Their courts They hope to inspire glimmers of such splendor and majesty. To that end, Their Excellencies are holding an illuminated scroll blank drive.

Each artist who participates in the drive by entering one or more illuminated blanks will receive a trio of paintbrushes as a small token of appreciation meant to further their artistic endeavours. The blanks will be displayed at the event, at which time a Populace vote will also take place: the three artisans whose blanks earn the highest number of beads will win another small prize. (Note that submitting more blanks will get you more brushes, but will not get you more Populace vote prizes!) At the end of the event all of the blanks will go with Hakon and Hrefna to be added into Their arsenal for Baronial awards, awaiting the words of a poet, the hand of a calligrapher, and the voice of a herald.

Please make sure to sign the backs of your blanks, and include your printed SCA name either on the back of the scroll or on a card sent with the blank.

If you are not able to be present at the event, you can arrange to have your blank(s) transported: please contact Cuno or Their Excellencies for more information.
