Join us for Baron Alejandro's final court, the first court of our incipient Baron Gerhart and Baroness Elspeth, the knighting of Elfsea's former Baron Daire, and the White Scarf ceremony for Brian O'hUilliam. There will be tournaments to decide champions for Chivalric, Rapier and Archery fighting, youth fighting and a novice tourney, feast and taverns, A&S mini-competitions, a subtlety competition, a display of items from Elfsea's history, merchants and a blacksmith shop. So much to see and so much to do in one fun-filled weekend!</div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
