Mists Fall Coronet

Friday September 23rd, 2016 to Sunday September 25th, 2016

Their Highnesses, Geoffrey and Catherine, welcome all to a grand tournament to decide their successors. As per Their Highnesses’ wishes, Coronet shall be fought in a Crucible format. There will be no non-contenders in the lists. All fighters in the lists must take the oath that they are prepared to reign.

There will be a potluck on the list field in the evening, with Their Highnesses supplying the meat. Please bring sides & desserts.

Arts & Sciences:
Practical Science – A savory dish. Feel free to make extra for the Princess’ tea. You will need written documentation for this competition.

Technical Science – Headgear – any media/time/place.
Textile, metal, leather — if you wear it on your head, it qualifies.

If you’re interested in judging, need pointers to examples, or need help writing documentation, please contact Gianetta del Bene. The entry forms are online, in the Mists Arts & Sciences Facebook group. Please feel free to fill them out in advance.

Silver Spoon:
The Silver Spoon competition is “anything from the Opera of Bartolomeo Scappi.” The time and location of the competition is TBD closer to the event.

Saltatoris Nebulorum:
We’ll be teaching Danse de Cleves for the Saltatoris Nebulorum at Mists Coronet. La Danse de Cleves is a stately 15th century dance from the courts of Burgundy. Competition will probably be near the fighting field, about 5th round or after the tournament.

Mists Bardic, 2016 @ Foothills Congregational UCC
Oct 22 all-day

Mists Bardic
October 22, 2016

All are welcome to the day of feasting and competition to choose the next Bard of the Mists. The feast is being prepared by Mistress Anne of Bradford and while the menu is still being finalized, it will be a bardic theme through five different centuries and lands. We’ll post the menu online as soon as it’s ready,

The Bard of the Mists competition will have five rounds consisting of: A period piece (brief documentation requested); a piece written in a period style (brief documentation requested); current Bard’s choice; the competitor’s “masterwork”; and three words chosen from a hat, with 15 minutes given to create a piece using those words. For the Bard’s choice, it is to be an original piece written on the topic of “The Mirror.” If there are questions regarding the competition or the pieces required, or you are interested in entering but feel you might need assistance, please contact Mistress Katla. Even if you’ve never entered a competition before, I encourage anyone to sign up!

The hall opens at 1 p.m.; competition and feasting begin at 2 p.m. Reservations for feast tickets can be made with the autocrat and can be paid at the door. The feast is limited to 60 and if you cannot attend we ask that you PLEASE let us know so that your space can be made available to others. Unreserved feast tickets will be made available at the door on the day of the event.
