<DIV>April 9th – Defending the Gate IV <BR>Canton of Sudentorre –
Fredericksburg, VA</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Safe within their walls, the defenders listen to the sounds of the
besieging army outside. The early morning attack had surprised them, and
no one knew if their hurriedly sent messengers had gotten through.
Suddenly the guard cries out a warning. Far down the road another army is
headed their way. Fear begins to sweep through their ranks, for how can
they hold out against more? And then the wind picks up, whipping banners
around for the watchers to see. A cheer rises from behind the walls.
The allies have come!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In order to celebrate the alliances that strengthen us all, all
competitions will be for teams, not individuals. In addition, there are
“Alliance Points” that can be won by competitors. The Barony, Shire, or
Canton that wins the most “Alliance Points” will win a war banner for their
group crafted by the skilled banner makers of Sudentorre. Please see the
website for more details.</DIV>

<DIV>A&S competitions: Did you ever do illumination on a scroll and someone
else did the calligraphy? Help a friend sew or knit a project? One of you carved
an object or built a chest while someone else painted it? This is the
competition for both of you. Keeping with the theme of the day we will host a
team competition for alliance points. Entries will need to have been contributed
to by 2-3 people. There will be an adult division and a children’s division. The
children’s team can have 1 adult and 1-2 children or all children. Adult
contribution needs to be less than 60%. Both team competition winners will
contribute to the alliance points for their group. Join a friend and
help your group to glory. There will also be an open display for our
artisans to show their projects both complete and works in progress. Any
