Stromgard Founding Revel
Want to participate in the Arts & Sciences Tournament? Get your letter of intent in now! Hey newcomer, want to get to know folks and have fun? Volunteer to help with kitchen, gate, setup, take down, anywhere really! Many hands make light work and there's something fun about being part of a group and doing things together actively, rather than letting things happen. You CAN and DO make a difference when you volunteer. It's where your input matters. You have good ideas - I encourage you to share them and shine!

The Noble Barony of Stromgard invites one and all to join us in celebration of our founding. The day will be filled with fun, family activities, an auction, and feasting as well as the fierce and unique StormMaker Tournament to choose Stromgard's next Arts and Sciences Champion.
​
StormMaker Tournament
Ivon and Hlutwige, Lord and Lady Stromgard herewith invite all to vie for the honour of being named their StormMaker, Champion of the Arts and Sciences of the Barony of Stromgard at Founding Revel, February 24 (2018) in the Barony of Stromgard. Those wishing to compete for this title must inform Their Excellencies via electronic communique no later than February 10 (2018) and be prepared to present a Letter of Intent at morning court at the event.
Each competitor is required to research and document two (2) complete and distinct entries plus an entry to be created on site the day of the tournament (see "Mystery Box" below). Competitors are required to make a fire using flint and steel as well as use the fire in some way in their third entry. Each competitor is allowed a small outdoor space for a "Camp" within which they may present the first two entries and prepare the third. Competitors will need a fire pit in which to build fire. Various tinders, some wood and charcoal will be provided.
Now, to the the matter of the third entry; Competitors are allowed to have one person who will serve as adviser/assistant/helper. Please advise us as to who will be serving as such in your Letter of Intent. Each competitor will be given a "Mystery Box" filled with various items (all Mystery Boxes will have like contents). The competitor and their adviser will have 10 minutes to work out a plan for the entry based on the contents of the Mystery Box. There will be several areas of the arts and sciences to choose from. Once competitors have made a decision, they and their advisers will visit the sideboard for five minutes. Competitors and their adviser may trade item for item from the Mystery Box to the sideboard for needed/wanted items. Competitors may also choose to trade item for item with each other. An attempt at more than one finished item is encouraged. It is worth noting that the competitor should be the main source of ideas and execution of the entry(s).
Time is up! Competitors and their advisers will have three hours to create the third entry using the items in the Mystery Box and the fire the competitor must build.
