Once again, the cry goes forth for all heroes to vie for glory and honor in the Chalice Championships. And for those who choose to attempt it, there is the legendary 'Chalice of the Sun Gods', the cup of Helios given to Hercules in the course of his labors. Please join us for this unique challenge!
Martial Activities: There will be heavy and rapier fighting; competitors shall fight in a Challenger's tourney for the right to best the Heavy Weapons Chalice Champion or the Rapier Chalice Champion. The winner of each 'Champion Battle' shall become the Chalice Champion in that discipline, and may fight as Chalice Champion next year. Questions should be directed to Lord Connor Sinclair (heavy weapons) (connor_sinclair@yahoo.com) and Lord Geoffrey ap Clywd (rapier) (geoffwillamsrdg@yahoo.com). Additionally, we will be having a youth combat tourney for an extra team point! Please contact Lady Gisele l'Orpheline should you have questions. (
