Competition Requirements:
Archery- All Archers of the Kingdom of Artemisia are welcomed and encouraged to make their way to The Line and compete in the Arn Hold Baronial Archery Championship. The winning member from Arn Hold will be named the Champion for the year, and should a visitor place first, a prize will be awarded them and the runner up Baronial competitor will represent Their Excellencies of the Moose Lands. The format will be announced the day of the competition, so practice hard and we will see you on the range.
 
Equestrian- A call is sounded and a challenge offered for the Arn Hold Baronial Equestrian Championship. "What be the requirements?" you ask. First...a fast horse. Second...bravery in the face of challenge. Third...a willingness to risk life and limb to win the glory. Brave Lords and Gentle Ladies are invited to participate. Practices will be held prior to this event and a partial list of challenges and obstacles will be published at a future date (as soon as I determine exactly what dastardly course I will be offering.) Expect a surprise...or it wouldn't be a challenge, would it?
 
Rapier- An exciting Rapier Tournament to determine the next Duelist Champion of Arn Hold
