The new Shire of Avonmore in the Crown Principality of Tir Mara announces their first event, to be held Nov. 16 in Saint Marie, NB…
As it is known that the Shire of Avonmore (being a wild and newly settled land) is filled with outlaws, brigands, and highwaymen and even its coastal waters are filled with pirates, the Foresters have come to civilize the region. Loyal to the Crown of the East and to its landed nobility, the Foresters patrol the wild green woods where men in heavy armor fear to tread. No more shall travelers between the Shire of Lyndhaven and the Barony of Ruantallan come to harm in the dark forests of Avonmore as the foresters now protect the way.
The Foresters Fall feast and Faire is the year end celebration of the harvest and the hunt, a day of games, fellowship and feasting! (more…)
Start germinating those design ideas now — Her Majesty, Queen Avelina, has just posted the following challenge… I am issuing a garb challenge for Birka. My challenge to the clothing artisans of the East is: Pick your favorite sports team and interpret their uniform as a medieval garment or outfit. Documentation is not required, however …
From the EKU Chancellor… Greetings! The East Kingdom University is currently seeking applications for the position of Deputy Chancellor of the University.

Hark! Is that yon horn I hear, heralding in the hunters to come and celebrate the season? (Why yes……… yes it is!)
Whom are they escorting on the road to Ruantallan? I see wagons and horses, men, women and children… a veritable parade of……. Wait? Could it be? Their Majesties are enroute to visit our fair lands?
Oyez! Oyez!
Come spend a day of rejoicing in the plenty that the fall harvest has given us, welcome back the warriors from their long journey to lands foreign and near in defense of our homes and happiness. Witness the majesty of… Their Majesties!

The Crown Principality of Tir Mara’s weekend was one of Thanksgiving, and a Gentleman and Gentlewoman’s Meal with a pie of that Turkish fowl led Lady Mergriet Van Wijenhorst to victory as Princess’ A&S Champion at the Tir Mara Rattan and A&S Championships Event held in the Shire of Lyndhaven on Saturday. The competition, while small by kingdom standards, was well represented by the people of Tir Mara and high in standard of entry. Katherine Murray was cloaked with the regalia of Prince’s Champion of A&S by His Majesty Kenric, both He and Her Majesty proudly bedecked in the blue & white stars of Their Crown Principality. Katherine was recognized for her work in dyes and the garments made from her explorations. His Majesty also recognized Lord Guthfrith Yrlingson for his Anglo-Saxon Pin and Brooch with an Honourable Mention. Lady Greta and Lady Cellach don were both present to be applauded and thanked for their year of service as out-going A&S Champions. (more…)
Greetings, all!
At this time I would like to express my gratitude to several gentles, including to Their Majesties Kenric and Avelina, who have granted my request for one final year in office as Tyger Clerk of the Signet. It has been a wonderful experience working with each of you, the Crown, and the Kingdom of the East, and I look forward to continuing to serve through 2014. (more…)
Excerpts From a Report by Mistress Brita Mairi Svensdottir
On a fine October day, the Endewearde Hunt for the Unicorn took place. Many activities were enjoyed: A&S classes seemed to be enthusiastically attended, the hurley players had a great time, the children conducted a successful cattle raid, the thrown weapons range was always busy, and many people participated in archery. There were 18 Endeweardian archers who participated in the baronial challenge, which was finally won by Lord Eoin an Doire. Baroness Aneleda’s Enchanted Ground was attended by about ten people who shared poems, songs, music and stories and Aneleda gave brooches made by her to all those who came. New people added their voices to singing around the fire on Saturday night, and Papa’s Bar at the End of the World did a roaring business. The Brewers’ Round Table was attended by brewers of all degrees of experience and Sylvia thought it went very well.
