Hidden Mountain
Hidden Mountain invites one and all to join the pilgrimage to see the miracle of the Hidden Mountain revealed! Stop by the various shrines of saints on your way and gather badges. Sharpen your swords for there are bandits and highwaymen galore! Shop till you drop and play games of skill and chance or drink from the waters of the enchanted well. There will be much merry-making on the journey for kids and adults alike! We encourage everyone to host a shrine, make a badge to supply to the Pilgrims and place a badge in our A&S competitions. For more ideas on Shrines and Pilgrimages go to our website for links to help you on your journey. Hidden Mountain's Birthday is also the time we quest for the next generation of Baronial Champions, so ready yourselves for the challenges that will be set before you. Please send letters of intent to the baronage.
Martial Activities: Heavy: Champions Battle will be a double elimination tourney for those vying for the coveted Baronial Champions position. The Lions Tourney is open to all and will be a Round Robin so everyone can get as much fighting in as they like. Thrown Weapons: How close to the mark can you get? Rapier: Show off your Skills of Quickness and Parry using your favorite funny (i.e. salt Cod, Cheese etc.) item. Equestrian: A day of jousting the quintain, and saracen heads is not all that is in store for you. Go on a Pilgrimage to find the shrines but beware of highwaymen and bandits. (Timed trial.)
Arts & Sciences Activities: We offer A&S competitions for every age. For the first time in Hidden Mountain Children will have their own categories and will be judged in their three age groups. Children’s competitions are best period like food, Pilgrims badges, and Best medieval invention (note that these inventions do not need to be period or even work but the judges will be reading your documentation and you want to make them believe it is plausible to have existed. Be creative! Don’t fear! The adults are challenged to create as well competitions are: best scroll, Pilgrims badges, Reliquaries (documentation required), and what’s in you Pilgrims picnic basket? (Can be feast gear, food or even table clothing)
