Baron Christopher and Baroness Miana would like to invite you to the 2nd annual Ered Sulabration! To be held on May 10th in the forested lands of Flagstaff at Bushmaster Park.  Join Their Excellencies and populace of Ered Sul in the refreshing mountains away from the searing heat of the valley to spend a day in games and activities for the whole family.

There will be hard suit and rapier competitions.  A warrior auction will precede the combat so bring your coin purses and bid on your favorite champion.  Prizes will be awarded to the sponsor whose warrior bests the day.  Proceeds from the auction will go to support the “Higher Word,” Ered Sul’s Baronial newsletter.  There will be dancing around the maypole to bring the world back to right again along with games and activities for all ages.  What would an Ered Sulabration be without a bardic competition?  Dust off your old favorites or bring something new and be a part of the open Bardic challenge!

So come join us in the cool mountains and enjoy a day of fun, frivolity, fighting, laughter and friendship.

CAN YOU FIGHT AND HANDLE A BARMAID? ARE YOU A BARMAID WHO CAN HANDLE A FIGHTER? EITHER WAY – BARMAIDS IS HERE!!! 
    Yes, it is that time of year again! The Barony March of Mons Tonitrus is hosting its annual Barmaids event at the Lower Garden Canyon site on Ft. Huachuca. Trees, shade, babbling brooks (maybe) and competitions with prizes are available for all!
     Saturday morning will see Opening Court at 9:00 followed by armor inspection. Prizes will be contested in both Armored and Rapier scenarios “in the tavern” as well as weird weapons (Rapier and Armored) and, of course, The Barmaid competition! Following the conclusion of the Tavern Tourneys, we will begin the “Boar Hunt” in the forest for those armored fighters who just cannot get enough stick time. Saturday afternoon will also see a Siege Engine accuracy demonstration. Come fire a bolt high into the sky for a small donation to American Cancer Society.
      Saturday evening a feast of Stone Soup (both with and without meat) and sideboard will be held, so bring something to throw in the soup pot. Breads will be provided. Ducats will be provided to each attendee at troll. During Saturday evening feast, use your Ducats to tip your favorite Bar Maid. The Bar Maid with the most tips (Ducats) will win one round of the traditional “Best Barmaid” completion. Following the feast, we will hold the remaining rounds of the signature “Best Barmaid” competition. Throughout the feast and in between “Best Barmaid” rounds will be bardic entertainment, so please bring your instruments, tales, and singing voices to share with all.
      Sunday morning the archers will let loose. Our Youth Combatants will compete for their own prize (depending on number of youth). Afterward, will be Closing Court where all the winners of the tourneys will be announced.
      Merchants are also welcome on site.
