**************************************************
The four Principal Kingdoms for the next Estrella War XXIV (Feb 12-18, 2008)
today published the Estrella War Treaty negotiated at a meeting held by the
Crowns and Heirs of the Kingdoms of Atenveldt, Caid, Outlands and Artemisia
on September 29, 2007. The guidelines in the treaty govern the medieval
activities held at the Estrella War, including heavy combat scenarios,
rapier scenarios, target archery shoots, and the Estrella War Arts and
Sciences Competition. 

The Estrella War Treaty is negotiated annually to outline how the medieval
war between two "Allied Realms" will be conducted, and how each Principal
Kingdom can win the Right for their Populace to display one or more of four
Estrella War XXIV Victory Pennants.  Announcements in this year's Treaty
include the following:

- Allied Realm I in the conflict shall be the Kingdom of Atenveldt and the
Kingdom of Caid and their allies.  Allied Realm II shall be the Kingdom of
the Outlands and the Kingdom of Artemisia and their allies.

- The rules and guidelines a Principal Kingdom must use to win the Right for
their Populace to display an Estrella War XXIV Armored Combat Victory
Pennant, an Estrella War XXIV Arts & Sciences Victory Pennant, an Estrella
War XXIV Rapier Victory Pennant, or an Estrella War XXIV Archery Victory
Pennant are outlined in the Treaty published today.

- The dates, times, locations, setup and objectives for the heavy combat
scenarios, rapier scenarios, and target archery shoots are explained. For
example, the treaty states when and where the heavy combat and rapier
scenarios begin each day, when the target archery competition range opens
each day, and how each scenarios/archery shoot is scored.

- The date, time, location, and judging criteria used in the Estrella War
Arts & Sciences Competition are outlined. 

To download and review a full copy of the Estrella War XXIV Treaty, and to

Estrella War XXIV will be held Feb 12 - 18, 2008 at Canyon Moon Ranch in
Florence, AZ.  The Principal Kingdoms of Estrella War XXIV invite you to
come spend your winter vacation exploring medieval Glory, Honor and Chivalry
in the Warm Desert Sun!
