Midwinters Revel:  The Way of the Pilgrim

# data[].description
Pilgrimages were arduous undertakings in the Middle Ages.  There were many reasons to go on a pilgrimage:  to atone for your sins, to honor the memory of a loved one, escape persecution, or simply because all the cool kids were doing it.  Failure to extend hospitality to pilgrims was considered a grievous sin!  Please join the Barony of Lochmere as we extend hospitality to all pilgrims on their way to 3 major pilgrimage sites:  Santiago de Compostela (Spain), Rome (Italy), and Jerusalem (Middle East).  Regardless of your destination or level of piety, there will be feasting, dancing, singing, classes, games, Arts and Sciences displays and competitions more than sufficient to nourish your body and your mind!

This event invites all to explore the elegance and innovation of Byzantine art, from the luminous mosaics of Ravenna to the intricate silks of Constantinople.

The Battle of Marignano in 1515 was the end of the War of the League of Cambrai. The French army, led by the newly-crowned Francis I, fought against the Old Swiss Confederacy which had been expanding southward into the Italian peninsula. Supporting the French were German landsknecht and Venetian condottieri. Francis' success in this battle ended the expansion of the Swiss confederacy, and marks the last time the Swiss ever officially fought in an offensive conflict. The mercenary support, especially that of the late-arriving Venetians, was crucial to France's success. Come join us for day of fighting, arts & sciences and feasting celebrating helpful mercenaries and the variety of Swiss culture.

The realms of the Knowne World prepare for war, and the shores of Atlantia are under threat. Their Excellencies Linhart and Letia have decided to assemble an able crew for a new baronial flagship to protect valuable trade routes. To ensure that this crew is truly the best Lochmere has to offer, a day of competition has been declared. Attendees will compete to win an honored place among the defenders of Atlantian shores.

Attendees will earn standings points in each discipline in which they compete and may compete in multiple aspects of the event to earn the captaincy of the new vessel, with discipline winners winning titles of their own. To be eligible for the captaincy, an attendee must compete in a minimum of three disciplines, at least one of which must be martial and one non-martial. A competitor may only hold one role in the crew, so winners of multiple disciplines will choose one title and pass any others to the next eligible runner-up. The overall winner will be decided by highest average score among eligible attendees.

The titles for winners are as follows:

• Captain: The highest average scorer among eligible competitors

• First Mate: Winner of the rapier tournament

• Sharpshooter: Winner of the archery tournament

• Marine: Winner of the thrown weapons tournament

• Ship’s Carpenter: Winner of the woodworking competition

Call to Arms!

This time it's for real!

L ast year the rumors of war were proven to be false. While the enemy did not appear on the horizon, the Atlantian Army, small as it was, was ready to defend our lands and hold off the invaders until the entire kingdom could be mustered and brought to bare.

This time it's for real! We know the rumors to be true and the Meridians are coming!

The Back Story
The Canton of Stormwall is completely surrounded on three sides by the Kingdom of Meridies. It is logical that the Meridians would make their incursion into Atlantia through this sleepy canton nestled in the mountains. It could take weeks before news of this invasion would reach the ears of the Atlantian Crown and a kingdom wide alarm is raised. Stormwall must rely on their brethren from Hawkwood and their cousins from Sacred Stone and Nottinghill Coill if the invaders are to be slowed or dare we hope,  repelled. Gird up your loins, strap your kit to your steed and make haste to the West to prevent the invaders from gaining a foothold on our lands.

Once a year, the veil between worlds grows thin, and ancient roads, long lost to time, reveal themselves once more. In the hidden places of history—where mysticism, superstition, and the macabre ruled the Middle Ages—a crossroads took root, forged by those who walked the forgotten paths of the thinning veil. Here, at the confluence of worlds, lies a place where treasures are exchanged, memories are honored, and history breathes.

As the newly born Mourning Moon ascends, the pathways are open to this archaic place for all to journey. Beyond this threshold, wanderers and traders from the medieval world converge. Viking storytellers, Celtic mystics, Moorish scholars, and Mongol horsemen arrive to share skills, relics, secrets, and stories. Some bring offerings for the dead, others seek wisdom from spirits who linger beyond the veil.

The journey will be dangerous, so disguise yourself in attire to blend in with the medieval denizens of this market. You may find yourself learning arts long lost to time, trading tokens from another realm, unearthing forgotten tales by firelight, or discovering the rituals of undiscovered lands. Will you walk among the traders of forgotten civilizations? Carry home a relic from another age? Or leave changed, haunted by whispers of those who once stood in your place?

Holiday Market is a hybrid public/private event held in partnership with Mountain Rubn Winery.

From 12:00-5:00 pm SCA members and vendors will conduct a demonstration and market open to the public free of charge. The public can take classes and view demonstrations/displays that include archery, thrown weapons, youth combat, arts, sciences, and games. There will be a Halloween-themed costume contest. Food trucks will be on site.

At 5:00 the site will be closed to the public for a private SCA event. SCA members, vendors, and non-members who pay the site fee are welcome to stay for a night of revelry. A court and medievel-themed costume contest will begin the evening. From 7:00-9:00 roasted meats, stew, bread, and potatoes will be available for those who pay the feast fee.
