[Artemisia] Dragons Tear Announcement

[Colin Douglas]

For some reason, I sent this announcement to the wrong email when I was
trying to get it into the Sage, if good gentles could please please share
it with their shires, baronies, and indeed the kingdom as a whole, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance.

In Service to the Dream,

Lord Iain Mac Colin

In the dawning of our world, the last pair of dragons flew through skies of
sapphire blue.  With their great ages one landed to fall into his last
sleep.  Grief stricken for her loss, the last mighty Lady Dragon cried
tears until she as well passed for this world into myth and legend.  On
July 12th Anno Societatis XXXII there were two beasts who as the Lady
Dragon had birthed such wonder in her tears, they birthed a Kingdom of
grace and might through their own cries. These beasts of course were the
Gryphons that rear proudly on our kingdom banner.

*
*In the beauty and grace of both the Dragons and the Gryphons we gather
every year to remember them.  With honor, chivalry, selfless service and
the passing of knowledge.  Their memory lives on with the Shire of Stan
Wyrms’ Dragon’s Tear Event  We would be honored to have you join us July 13
th, 14th* *& 15th.  Site will open noon Friday & closes 3pm Sunday.  This
is a wet site in period containers with above ground fire pits allowed
according to the fire hazard rating for the area at the time.  Also bring
swim gear since there is a small wading creek close on hand.*

*Chivalric combatants will have plenty of opportunities to show their
skills and test their metal against one another for honor and prizes worth
their weight in dragons gold.  The Championship Tourney will be open for
all un-belted fighters.  We will also host a Grand Tourney Champion open to
all fighters un-belted & belted.  Our traditional prize of a sword can be
won in both tourneys.*

*Test your skills in Archery as well and do us all proud.  I would love to
see the kind of skill shown once again this year that has been worthy of
the stories of great bards in yesteryear.  There will be a prize worthy of
such skill in addition to the honor that comes with such.*

*Light Fighters come one and all & show your lightning quick skills with
blade.  Show off your skills and grace for all to see.  A wonderful prize
is up for the best to win. *

*We call all bards, storytellers, poets, and balladeers to come to the
banner of Stan Wyrm to show those near and far the skill that you possess.
 We will be having a competition and ask you to show your historic and
obscure or your original pieces to all pieces for the honor of bearing the
hand stitched bardic favor of Stan Wyrm. *

*Anyone who would like to teach a class is more then welcome.  Please
contact Event Steward so we can plan your class & how much time you are in
need of.*

*Merchants are more than welcome to come and share their wares with us. No
Merchant fee but we do ask for a donation to be auctioned off during our
