Cynagua/Mists War - Principality of Cynagua (Woodland, CA)
His Highness of Cynagua, Prince Achilles, and His Highness of the Mists, Prince Miles, agree to disagree, which means war! Prince Achilles has asked that this be an "Alden style war", and there will be as many battles fought as possible in the time allotted, with a warm up resurrection battle. Battle scenarios include: Open Field, Bridge, Redoubt, Broken Field, Then a meat-grinder at the end to make sure everyone really has enough fighting. There will be combat archery included.
Her Highness of the Mists, Princess Francesca would like to remind the Mists fighters that She will be looking for the best heraldic display in fighting units.
For non-combatants, there are activities available! Besides water bearing, and pickle/fruit serving, there will be a siege cooking contest. Please sign up for this with the autocrat no later than October 20, so that there are enough ingredients for all contestants. Chicken, in some form, turnips, carrots, apples, and cinnamon will be provided. Each contestant, or group of contestants, can provide no more than 5 ingredients of their own. The participants can pick up their ingredients just after morning Court on Saturday. Dishes are due at the designated place at 4 pm. There will be a "Best of the Best" A&S competition, as well. Bring your best work of the year, no documentation necessary, so that others may enjoy and be challenged by what you have done! There will also be Page School activities.
Please remember that if it is raining, we cannot drive on the grass to unload/load.
