NR - NR Warlord

[Merrik Viltar Har]

The more regional events the Northern Region has will only serve to provide the Northern Region with the expierience it will need in order to fullfill its destiny of becoming its own Kingdom.

This region needs to be supported as much if not more than local chapter events.  In the same way that you choose to support your child's little league sport with a donation instead of buying yourself a new helm, forge, or bolt of fabric.  

If you understand and care that we are now making our children's history, then we as a region must support ourselves to the point of self sacrifice. Like a  good heroic deed on the field, a heroic deed for the greater good of the history of the SCA, the Kingdom of Ansteorra, the Northern Region of Ansteorra, and the local chapters that make the foundations of that history.

Northern Regional identity is childlike in comparison to individual and local chapter identities, and needs to be nurtured on a kingdom level so that Ansteorra is thought of as Texas AND Oklahoma.  I don't know how many times I heard this year at Pennisc, Ansteorra is Texas and is great.  This very much hurt my feelings.  Anything we can do to show the Known World that we enjoy playing this game, we should do, i.e. Northern Regional Warlrd.

What can we do to refine this event as well as our identity?

This idea has come up before and it is impractical to try and choose a Warlord at Tribute as it traditionally serves as the Kingdom's last major War College before Gulf Wars.  I know that last year Don Donovan was trying to get a rapier war college going.  Also the original idea of Tribute was as a fund raiser for the Kingdom.  It would be very hard to continue all of these and add the championships at the same time.  I think that we just need to work a little more on refining the Warlord event and see where it takes us.
