ST - Theme for warlord

[Kellie Hardy]

People do attend Steppes Warlord for many reasons.  Warlord is a big
event, and it is silly to think that 600-800 people from all over the
Kingdom would be willing to do high persona play focusing on one theme.
However, those who are interested in having more reasons  to attend
Warlord besides supporting the combat do find a theme attractive. It can
give a fun focus to A&S, to the cooking, embroidery and bardic
competitons, and garb-making, as well as activities for our
youngsters.   I spoke with someone just today who said that the theme of
Greek Mythology used last year inspired her child to write a poem for
the Children's Bardic competition (for which she received much acclaim,
and which the child looks forward to enjoying again this year).  I
consider that  reason enough to make the effort.  Warlord will not
suffer without a theme.  But that's no reason  not to try to make it
interesting for a broader range of people.  Time is crushingly short
this year, and if we do not have a theme, so be it.  I think it is worth
pursuing in the future, however.  Regards to all, and thank you for your
energetic responses-
