Come all the Known World to the Barony of Terra Pomaria's Long & Short of It Tourney and potluck.   All you need to do is bring a table, chairs and a potluck contribution for 15 hungry people.  Mundane names A-H side dish, I-P main dish, Q-Z dessert.  The barony will provide breads, cheese and juice.  There is plenty of shade, simply enjoy a day event instead of spending an entire weekend - this is a day tourney only. Potluck to begin at 5 pm court to start as soon as all are seated. Lists open at 10:30 am and close promptly at 11:30 am.

The Baroness is holding a helm auction. The fighters who participate place their helms in a line, the auctioneer then sell the skills of the owner of the helm to the highest bidder. (so, no you are not selling your helm only your skill as a fighter). The fighters then compete in a heavy tournament to be determined.   Whoever bid on the helm of the fighter who wins will receive a prize. The 3rd Youth Championship of Terra Pomaria will also take place containing elements of bardic, arts and science, heraldry, and combat to determine the new Youth Champion of the barony.  Rapier competition is tentative based on time and participants.
