The Stewards of Artifacts of a Life II, Baron Jehan du Lac and Mistress Elizabeth Vynehorn, requested that we spread the word. Start working on your entries now, so we can all be amazed by what you accomplish in a year!
The Barony Beyond the Mountain and the Barony of Carolingia invite the populace of the East to join us on September 26, 2015 for Artifacts of a Life II — an arts and sciences competition with a focus on persona development.
Have you ever looked at your modern family heirlooms and wondered what your SCA persona would leave in your will, or the objects you would have valued during your life? Have you ever wanted to create your own set of grave goods? Of course you have!
Artifacts I, held in 2013, was an inspiring display of work from the populace of the East Kingdom. Entries included a fishing net, starched and dyed Elizabethan ruffs, clothing from various time periods and cultures, furniture, religious items, combs, sewing implements, lace, jewelry, game boards, arrows, mosaics, weapon sheath, eating utensils, and much, much more.
How It Works
Like last time, entrants may choose to enter either the Typical or Elite categories. In the Typical category, entries must consist of 3-5 items from a single culture and time. The Elite category requires entries consisting of 6-9 entries from a single time and place.
New for Artifacts II
If you’d like to participate as part of a team, our new Village category allows you to work with a group of folks to create 6-9 items. Again, they must all be from a single time and place. More details on the Village category will be forthcoming.
Entrant and Judge Feedback Requested
If you participated in Artifacts I as an entrant or judge and have any thoughts on how we can improve the event, or if you have any questions, please contact the event stewards: Baron Jehan du Lac or Mistress Elizabeth Vynehorn.
Information about the competition rules, judging criteria, and entry registration may be found at the event website. For more information about the site, please see the EK event announcement.
We hope to see you in Carolingia!

Their Royal Majesties Kenric and Avelina were gracious enough to allow their Excellencies Carolingia, Fergus and Imiglia an interval during Their court at this past weekend’s Crown Tournament to conduct some Baronial business. What follows is an unofficial report of the proceedings.
Lord Hugh Tauerner and Lady Ysane la Fileresse presented Their Excellencies with two hand-knit Baronial coronets in blue and gold to become part of the Carolingian Regalia. Their Excellencies immediately donned these new coronets and wore them for the rest of Court.

Written by Patricio Enriquez, Bishop of Soria
This be the history of the feud that took place between the Crafty Baron Fergus MacRae of Carolingia, called by some “Guiscard”, and Nest verch Tangwistel, the Baroness of Smoking Rocks, called by some “The Sainted”. May the Arbiter of the Universe whose hand moves the quill that pens the life of men be my judge if this is not a True and Just accounting.
In Ano Societa XXXXVII in the late winter outriders of the Baron Fergus were noted and seen moving among the northern towns of Smoking Rocks. Often disguised as Merchants they had traveled thru the northernmost marches of the peaceful villages and demesnes of Smoking rocks seeking weakness and to sow turmoil. Continue reading

Baron Fergus and Baroness Imigla of Carolingia
The event announcement for the upcoming Cohasset Wars contains harsh words from Smoking Rocks to Carolingia. Smoking Rocks claims that Carolingia historically raided Smoking Rocks to capture its goods and once again its “gimlet eyes figure that raiding and rapine upon the land can be used to disrupt commerce and trade and Pariahs may be leveled against the Good peaceful Baroness of the now Barony of Smoking Rocks and lands seized and threatened”.
The Baron and Baroness of Carolingia have taken exception to their being depicted as having “grasping hands and greedy heart” and trying to intimidate Smoking Rocks so it will “flinch and yield to Their might and demands”. Baroness Imigla responded that the Barony has always respected all borders as part of respecting the laws of the East Kingdom, which they have sworn to uphold. In addition, Carolingia has sought to assist their neighbors whenever possible. Continue reading
