Good Gentles pray take heed! War is afoot, and the armies of Atlantia are 
assembled and prepared. Dangerous times are ahead, and all must be prepared
for 
the great battles to come. Towards this end, do we, the Barony of Black
Diamond 
invite the populous of Atlantia to the King's Assessment of his Armies. The 
armies of Atlantia will stand ready for His Majesty's inspection upon the
field 
of battle. Make ready and prepare, our enemies march as we speak. Atlantia 
will be ready.


Martial Activities:

On the eve of July the 22th, a torchlight tourney, for both Armored and 
Rapier combat will occur. Armored combat will include siege and combat
archery. 
Both Armored and Rapier will match the Pennsic scenerios. A tournament to 
determine the baronial champions in both heavy and rapier combat will occur
on the 
23rd, as will melees upon his Majesty's discretion. For more information
contact 
the MiC, His Excellency, Baron Raven MacGreggor (sickpup at excite.com) or
RMiC, 
Lord Antonio (webminister at black-diamond.atlantia.sca.org). Black Diamond
also 
invites the archers, throwing weapons and other combatants to Assessment, as

a range will be provided to hone your skills in preparation for war. For
those 
wishing to have pavilions on the edges of the list fields, please contact
the 
autocrat at bdchatelaine at yahoo.com. Preference will be given in order of OP

Arts & Sciences:

This year's A&S theme is the myriad ways we hide the modern and how to stay 
cool at Pennsic War. The best way to hide the modern will have three 
subcategories; cloth, metal, and wood. Prizes will be given for Periodacity 
(Peri-audacity). Is that a sheep in camp or a cooler in sheep's clothing?


Documentation is strongly encouraged for both categories.


Works in progress will be welcome in all competitions and there will be a 
small token for the work in progress folks would most like to see done by 
Pennsic. Please contact Aislinn at forsair at yahoo.com or 540-557-7036 for
additional 
information. 


 


Also there will be a dessert contest to be judged by those attending Queen's

Tea. So bring your desserts and see who can best tempt the delicate palates
of 
the flowers of Atlantia. For more information, please contact Rosemary Teas 
at 540-400-0387 or jody8327 at cox.net.
