Martial Activities: A Warlord Tourney
Armored Combat (including Archery):
Two Warlord Tournaments, chivalry and unbelt, that will
culminate into a joint battle with all armored combats.
Combat Archers will have their own competition to
determine which team they’ll fight with for the large-
scale melee scenarios.
Rapier will also have a Warlord Tourney, led by Sir
Johann and mirroring the Heavy Tournaments.
Lord Kalfr inn Kaldráði
Heavy MIC: Sir Bevan Bevan
