Welcome to The Grand Thing V
May 28-31, 2010
Memorial Day weekend
Greetings unto the populace of AnTir and our beloved guests! The Barony of Stromgard and the Village of Bjorgvin would like to invite you to the Fifth Annual Grand Thing. This is a period event focusing on the Nordic and Celtic traditions of the Viking era with fighting, contests, games, and a Grand Feast!
The winter snows begin to melt and soon we will see the first green of spring. ‘Tis time once again to gather together and meet in celebration, take council, and renew our bonds of friendship. We invite you to come and join our fires this Memorial Day Weekend at the 5th Annual Grand Thing. We will welcome their Majesties of AnTir as they join our fires to preside over the change of the Baronial seats of Stromgard. As in years past this family friendly event will offer something for everyone.
There will be a Multi-Weapons Tournament with five weapons styles (sword & shield, axe & shield, spear & shield, two-handed axe, and two-handed spear) with a Master Grendal made Damascus Sax as the prize, a Memorial Great Axe Tournament (bring word fame of the fallen in song, prose, or saga to enter), a Monastery Raid (where you keep what booty you can escape with), and a Domination Tourney where not just your skill is tested but your courage and valor as well; can you withstand the Storm of Steel?
