Crown Trials Results

Last weekend we hosted our crown trials! In the past, in order to run for monarchy one had to compete in both the arts and sciences and the fighting tournament aspect of the game! Nowadays, we still run these tournaments, but without the pressure of becoming monarchy if you win. Instead, we make our monarchy declare with a reign plan, so we know what to expect!

For our arts and science Crown Laureate

  • 1st place Lord Baron Crow of Shrouding Mist for a personalized leather belt/sash constructed as a gift for Lucifex, with impressive touches and attention to detail.
  • 2nd place Morkere for the finest crafted amtgard legal throwing axe.
  • 3rd place Thistle with nålebind wrist warmers. Akin to crochet and knitting but more ancient.
  • For our tundra theme winner we have Dagger with his fur covered back scabbard.

Special shout out to all of our other contestants.

  • Wolven with his torso and leather belt band
  • Dartz Arrowfox with two chain roses
  • Ginevra the Fair One with an Amulet of sweet release.
  • Imidris Helsdottir with her odachi, archery bracer, fur cloak, and great axe

For our fighting tournament, we have Dakaran in 1 with 16 points, Turtle in 2 with 15 points, Theos in 3 with 5 points, Mason with 4 points, Fenrir with 3 points, and Drusk with 2 points.
