journey to enjoy Our Warm Winter Sun in February." said His Majesty Phelan,
King of Atenveldt."

 

Principal Kingdoms for Estrella War agree to complete a number of important
medieval and modern tasks before and during the Estrella War. The medieval
tasks include having their Crowns/Heirs attend the annual Estrella War
Treaty Negotiations (now scheduled for October 18, 2008), and having their
Earl Marshals, Arts & Sciences Ministers, Kingdom Rapier Marshals and
Kingdom Archery Officers work on drafting medieval guidelines for the event.
They also agree to bring combatants and competitors to the event, including
an Army to participate in medieval Rapier and Heavy Combat melee scenarios,
artisans to compete in the Estrella War Arts & Sciences Competition, and
archers to shoot in the Estrella War Target Archery Competition. 

 

The modern responsibilities of Principal Kingdoms include providing Kingdom
Officers to serve on the Estrella War Financial Committee (the group that
controls budgeting and costs for the event), and providing volunteers to
work at the event to help run Estrella War, the biggest all-volunteer event
held in the SCA.  For more information about the "Estrella War Principal
