Winter Muster
(2014-02-08 - Site opens at 8 AM & Closes at 9 AM)
Middlegate

Rally The Troops and Prepare for War! Heavy and rapier fighters, archers and ax throwers, combat archers, and siege engineers will spend the day getting the Atlantian Army ready to assist our allies and make a good showing at the upcoming Gulf Wars. The kingdoms artisans will work to ensure that we look our best when we process and when judged. And because the saying goes that an Army marches on it\'s stomach we are including a hearty meal after the long day of training and preparing for war.

Martial Activities:  The marshal activities will all be in preparation for Gulf Wars. Each area will work toward getting the troops ready to help our allies and defend Atlantia\'s pride.

Arts & Sciences Activities:  There will be two workshops to help our artisans make ready for war as well...

1. Finishing Touches Workshop We will be getting in contact with area Laurels and Pearls to have them come and assist the artisans of Atlantia in preparing their works for display and competition at Gulf Wars. Documentation, presentation, and any other tips that they can give to the artisans.

2. Process to Impress Workshop We will be in contact with TRM in order to find out how they want this year’s procession to happen. If banners are in need of repair or baldrics need to be made or if they want a song to be learned… this workshop will be for us to help get the kingdom ready to impress the known world during the opening procession.
