The Barony of Rivenstar cordially invites you to attend their annual Spring event.
Saturday, May 11th from 8AM - 9PM EDT
Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds - 1406 Teal Rd, Lafayette, IN 47905
This is a beautiful brand new facility. There is plenty of parking and local restaurants are minutes away from the site. We recommend bringing your own chairs as chairs on site are limited. The floors are concrete, so we suggest small rugs for your day camp and good shoes to help prevent fatigue. The site has fully accessible bathrooms available. This is a DRY site, by county law. Buildings are fully accessible.
For those who will be bringing children not their own: There are TWO forms that you will need to bring for each child. They both need to be signed by the child's parent or legal guardian. ONE MUST BE NOTARIZED per Indiana law.
1) This form needs the notarization and should be kept with the child at all times: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/treatminor-notary.pdf
2) This form is the usual Minor Waiver: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/chldwaiv.pdf.
PLEASE have both these forms filled out and signed/notarized where appropriate for each child you will be bringing that you are not the parent or legal guardian of. This requirement is out of our control and the children affected will not be allowed to attend if they are not completed properly before arrival. Thank you.
We're getting ready for War again!
Last year, the Barony of Rivenstar picked a fight with the Baronies of Sternfeld and Shadowed Stars in a Constellation Baronial War. This year, we invite all of the baronies of the Midrealm to come and join the fun!
Everyone will get the chance to win war points throughout the event. You get to choose which Barony you want to support. We will have jars labeled with each barony's name. If you earn more than one point, you can put them all in one jar or split your points among different baronies. If you are a member of one of the baronies in attendance, we assume you'll support your own barony, but no one will twist your arm to do so. Bribery is a time-honored tradition. The Barony with the most points at the end of the event wins. The winner will receive a traveling chest full of largess items. The winner can choose to keep the items for their barony or donate them to the Royal largess coffers. The Winner of the Baronial War will be announced at Rivenstar's Baronial Court that evening.Points
These are the activities that will get you one war point:
War Point votes must be cast by 4:00 pm. If you are helping with tear down or activities that happen after 4 pm, please cast your vote in advance.
How to Participate
We will have a centrally located table where you can get your war points. Take one war point and place it into one of the baronial jars of your choice. Remember to cast your votes by 4:00 pm!
If you worked multiple hours or entered multiple tournaments or competitions, please grab a slip for each hour you worked or each entry. This will make it easier for our tally room counters to calculate votes for each barony.
Entry Requirements for Baronies
Baronies may join forces with other baronies and participate with just one voting jar shared between them. Baronies may also recruit shires/cantons to assist. The winning barony will receive all of the donated largess and a traveling trophy chest that will be used each year. You will be expected to return the chest for the next year's challenge.
Please contact THL Katrin Grimsdottir for any questions or concerns about the challenge or largess.
