[Artemisia] Artemisia Digest, Vol 124, Issue 14

Wed Jan 29 18:10:34 CST 2014

Oh my!  Feast of St. Valentine is just 10 days away.  So to answer some of your questions; yes, there are activities planned, other than fighting and feast.  There will be a rapier tournament, marshaled by our own Lord Wylef.  Sir Hauk will marshal the heavy fighting.  From among the heavy fighters will emerge the Champion of Silver Keep.  In addition, there will be some games in which everyone can participate, as follows:
The Kissing Game
In keeping with the theme of courtly love, this game will involve all event attendees.  Each lady will receive three “kisses” at check-in.  During the day, the lords will try to win those kisses from the ladies by performing acts of "courtly love" and “chivalry,” such as flirting, flattery, etc.  At the end of the day (beginning of Court), the lord who won the most kisses during the day shall receive a prize.  
Steal My Heart
For this game, the lords will receive at check-in special tokens to represent their hearts.  The ladies must endeavor to win a lord’s heart through whatever means she deems appropriate.  At the end of the day, the lady who has won the most hearts shall also win a prize.
The Lover’s Hand
Upon check-in, each attendee will receive a hand of five playing cards.  The object is to accumulate the highest scoring hand (as in poker – royal flush, five of a kind, four wild cards (2s are wild), straight flush, full house, etc.).  There will be only one of a particular card that will be designated the lover’s card.  At the end of the day, the player who possesses the lover’s card will win the Lover’s Basket.  You may trade cards with other players or with the dealer (Event Steward) as often as you can to get the best hand.  The player with the best hand at the end of the day will get the Winner’s Basket.  (NOTE:  Be forewarned.  These baskets are now fondly known as "Death by Chocolate.")
Medieval Games
Medieval game stations will be set up for your enjoyment, including Tafl, Nine Men’s Morris, Fox and Geese, Gluckhaus, a popular medieval gambling game, and Thirty-and-One, a medieval card game.
Dancing
Mistress Tanglwyst will be traveling northward to teach dance.  Classes will begin at approximately 3:00 pm and dancing will end prior to the beginning of Royal Court.  Mistress Tanglwyst will choose the Lord and Lady of the Dance, and they will receive embroidered sashes.
I will be happy to explain any details about which you may have questions.  I do hope to see you there, having lots of fun!
In service,
Tamsyn 
Event Steward
Feast of St. Valentine

We'd  love too, but that's too far for us to drive late at night on Sunday.
If  it's ever held on a Friday or Saturday night where we might be able to
stay  overnight, we'd love too.
