Their Excellencies Three Mountains invite one and all to join in honoring His Lordship William Tarrell.

The day will include competitions to find our next Arts & Sciences Champion, our next Rapier Champion, and our next Armored Champion. There will also be non-competitive A&S displays, classes, games, and thrown weapons.  After a splendid supper, Court will be held, and the three new Champions will be named.

All Championship competitors are asked to review the Three Mountains Customary, Section IV: Champions (https://baronyofthreemountains.org/download/three-mountains-customary-2019). Historically, each Champion is responsible for organizing a competition to choose their successor. Each of the winners will have their names added to the Legacy Scrolls and will wear the Champions’ Cloak while standing in Court with Their Excellencies.

Barony of Three Mountains Arts and Science Championship

The honoree is a proud member of the Whimsical Order of the Ailing Wit, so he has chosen Humor as the theme for this year’s A & S Championship.  Two entries are required: one inspired by or related to humor and a second entry chosen by the entrant.  Each entry should have at least a page of documentation describing the process, the sources and a bit about what was learned while completing the entry.  One of the two entries may be a work in progress, and neither should have been submitted to a prior championship. Modified Kingdom forms will be used for judging. Please email the current A&S Champion, Thora Jorsalafari, OL, [kiserai@gmail.com] for more information or with your intent to enter.  The deadline is Sunday, October 9.  Include a description of the entries so that appropriate judges can be found.

Barony of Three Mountains Rapier Championship Tourney

As the close of our current Rapier Champion’s, Regent Victor de Guers, tenure draws near, rapier fighters of the Known World are invited to Honor Feast where a tourney will be held to choose a new Champion. The Tournament will be fought in six rounds of single combat with one “Pass” allowed. Finals will be best two out of three. Please email the Event Steward (Ansgar.Kartenmaker@gmail.com) with your intent to join the tournament.

Barony of Three Mountains Armored Championship Tourney

Sebastiaen des Roseaux, Armored Champion of Three Mountains, has stated that it is time to find his successor and that time will be at the Honor Feast for William Tarrell of Three Mountains. William is a marshal extraordinaire and what better way to honor him than by exhibiting feats of honor, chivalry, and pageantry on the fighting field. Come to meet friends and comrades in arms. Come and try to take my field from me, and become the next Heavy Champion of Three Mountains, or possibly win some cool prizes.

Additionally, the Rivers Buckler will be available to challenge for heavy fighters – if you are unfamiliar go to Facebook and look up An Tir Sword and Buckler Duels. https://www.facebook.com/groups/486463739674291

Arts and Science Displays

As we prepare to gather to Honor His Lordship William Tarrell and conduct our Baronial Arts and Science Championship, we would like to extend an invitation to the populace to display their A&S works. This is a non-competitive A&S display. All works are welcome, be it a physical, craft or research. We are especially extending an invitation to our martial community members to recognize and acknowledge the beauty and skill of a carefully sewn fencing doublet or the time consuming and highly physical metal work of a helm or leather armor.

  • Fighters, fencers, and archers – bring the items in the martial kit you built, embellished, painted, carved, hammered, and display them for people to enjoy.
  • Fighters, of all stripes – show off your gear!
  • Populace members – show off your work!
  • Written documentation is not required, but can be included if you wish.

If you are interested in displaying, please contact Ulaan via email ThreeMountains.Artsnsci@antir.org, and we will make space for you!

SCA Banner Display

Please help us enliven the feast hall by displaying your personal or household banner.  Email the Event Steward (Ansgar.Kartenmaker@gmail.com) if you have any questions and especially if you have a banner to include in the display.  The Event Steward would like to collect all of the banners by October 19, with the assurance that these will be returned in the same condition in which they arrived.

Thrown Weapons Event

At the request of the Honoree, there will be Thrown Weapons activities. Bring your favorite throwing weapon – knife, ax, or spear and join in the fun.
