To the populace of the Mists, the West, and the Known World, do Princess Helga and Prince Consort Hans extend an invitation to witness the selection of Their heirs by right of arms.
The tournament will be double elimination, each round will be fought best 2 out of 3. Finals is planned to be best 3 of 5. Armor conventions will be standard West Kingdom, but helms as worn.
Early in Their reign, Their Highnesses issued a quest to the populace and to those that would wish to enter Their Coronet Tourney list – The Coronet’s Call. Those fighters wishing to enter the Fall Coronet List for the Mists are required to complete one of the listed acts of service, bardic, arts, or SCIENCE(!!).
- 1 Hour of Service (constable/fire walks, event staff, marshall, list page, herald, etc.)
- 1 Hour Gate Shift
- 1 Bardic Piece Performance (official competition or non)
- 1 Arts and Sciences Entry of Class Teaching (official competition or non)
The Prince Consort will hold a meet and greet for the youth and newcomers in the Royal Pavilion from the second round until roses open. Non-alcoholic refreshments will be provided. Please bring your newcomers to meet the Prince!
Once Their heirs are chosen, Their Highnesses would wish to celebrate with a party hosted by the Prince Consort. Refreshments will be available. In keeping with the theme of Their reign, the theme of the party will be Traders, Raiders, and (dun dun dun) Pirates! While it is not required to be dressed in line with the theme, Their Highnesses invite you to see this as an opportunity to bring some fun and whimsy to our wonderful Principality.
Site opens Friday at 2pm and closes on Sunday at 2pm.

As autumn is nearly upon us and my year of service draws to a close, it
brings me great joy to announce that Mists Bardic will be held at the Santa
Cruz Masonic Lodge on October 22, 2022!
Come and join us as we gather to celebrate the Bardic Arts and witness the
competition to determine the next Bard of the Mists, the best job in the
Knowne World.
The competition will be compromised of the traditional five rounds:
- Period Piece
- Piece in a Period Style
- Masterwork
- Sitting Bard’s Choice: Inclusiveness and Welcome
- Five Words from a Hat
Please provide brief documentation for the Period Piece and the Piece in a
Period Style. In keeping with recent changes to our Society guidelines, we
welcome styles from bardic traditions from all pre-1601 cultures world-wide.
It is preferred that all pieces presented, with the exception of the Period
Piece, be the competitor's own work. Auditors are welcome.
In the interest of protecting the health of all attendees to the best of our
ability, we have made the hard decision to forego a feast this year.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own food and drink and to
maintain social distancing as possible.
