Baronial Investiture
January 24, 2004
Barony of Stierbach

The winds of winter blow and bring change to the Barony of Stierbach. 
All are called to the Great Hall to witness the Investiture of our new 
Baron and Baroness, Collum Makiswell and Briana MacLukas.  We will then
celebrate with games, song, dance, arts, archery, and fighting aplenty
to amuse you in our hall, sheltered from the elements.  But, beware the
shadows, for treachery and intrigue await you and assassins may roam
our lands.  Are you one of them?

Martial Activities:  Armored and rapier combat will be held inside our
Great Hall, so come, fight without the cold and risk of rust! We'll
have target archery on the grounds.

Arts & Sciences:  There will be two A&S competitions: 1, All things
that would have been used for treachery and intrigue - ciphers, codes,
poison rings (please, no ACTUAL poisons), concealed weapons (or the
means of discovering any such thing) - and 2, Clothing/outfits worn
specifically in the colder months to keep out the elements.
Documentation and/or justification is strongly encouraged for both.  In
addition, there will be a bardic competition, for the Songs of Spring,
conjuring images of the warmer days to come.  Contact Lord Ii Saburou
Katsumoru (Joshua Badgley), arts at stierbach.org, for more details.

Games:  Members of the Academie of Wit and Plaie will be staging a
games competition during the afternoon.  An assortment of games will be
available for play.
