[Ansteorra] Siglo de Oro- The Age of Gold

[Catalina Ana de Salamanca via Ansteorra]

Siglo de Oro- The Age of Gold

Join the Barony of Bryn Gwlad as we choose our Chivalric, Rapier, and
Equestrian Champions from the assembled combatants.

Marvel at the glory of Ansteorra displayed in full procession into morning
court. Each combatant must process with an artist, a creator of some lovely
object to be added to the prizes of the day. The Baron and Baroness
respectfully request an attempt at Spanish art. Letters of Intent are not
required.

Banners, pennants, and heraldic displays to delight the eye are
specifically called for, with a small prize for the best decorated
list-side pavilion. An Heraldic Scavenger Hunt appropriate for all ages
will take place during the day. Prizes will be awarded for speed and
accuracy of the eye. If you would like to join in the Heraldic Scavenger
Hunt by displaying your banner and singing off on bingo cards, please
contact the event steward at catalina at ravenkeep.org as soon as possible.

There will be a fine gaming tourney in the classically Spanish game of
chess. This tourney is sponsored by Goldweard of St Golias and he can be
contacted at naturemakeswell at gmail.com for more information.

 An Arts & Sciences salon will be held in a comfortable shady spot.
Artisans who would like to discuss their current or future project are
encouraged to bring a chair and a drink and spend the day in good company.
There is also going to be a small display of 'oops' objects by artists
well-known in their fields, proving that time and practice really do pay
off. Lecture classes will also occur and the forge will be hot in the
smithy. Please contact HL Simona della Luna at star.maddox.gmail.com for
more information.

In the evening after Court there will be a Masquerade Ball in the dance

Stories are more desired, a bardic circle will occur close by to mystify
and distract the listeners. Between the two will be a well-stocked
hospitality pavilion, open to everyone. Chairs are recommended.
