Night on the Town IX
(2007-04-13 - 2007-04-15 - Site opens at 5 PM & Closes at 11 AM)
Lochmere
A warlord for the enemy of Atlantia summons his commanders for discussions that will go deep into the night. While some argue for immediately moving further into Atlantia, others point out that even with the unusually warm winter; the army is short on supplies. In the end, just as dawn starts to show, the decision is made that Smeewick must fall first. Forces will be marshaled, blades will be made ready, and the shadow of the north will once again fall on Smeewick.Marshtial Activities: Welcome to Atlantia’s premiere rapier event. Rapier at Night on the Town IX will be a day of melees. You will either defend or attack the town of Smeewick and the surrounding area. All fighting will be heavy rapier, with combat archery for certain pre-set scenarios. Due to the open nature of the fighting, no combat archery will occur outside of these scenarios. Authorizations are at 9am. Target archery will also be available.
Arts & Sciences Activities: For those who wait in anticipation of the outcome of the enemies’ attack, a great fair of artisans will be held in the village of Smeewick. Teachers in the arts will be present to show interested citizens about their craft. This is a wonderful chance to “try it before you buy it”. Various arts and sciences will be available during the day to sample, including illumination techniques, book binding, netting, knitting, Viking wire knitting, beer tasting and styles, tablet weaving and so much more. Note that there is no fee associated with participation in this activity. If you have any questions, please contact Lady Christiana Iarina Chaikinaia at ccs_meow@yahoo.com.
