[SCA-AE] Aethelmearc Invitation: 2nd East/Atlantian Interkingdom Practice

[Max Nelson]

Given the much renowned success of the first East/Atlantian  
Interkingdom practice in October, we have been asked often and loudly  
for a sequel.  This time, the practice will less firmly ensconced  
within Eastern lands and much more closely held amongst the border  
lands between our great lands -- and not all that very far from the  
borders of our shared neighbors in Aethelmearc, whom we would most  
heartily welcome to our Interkingdom practice so that all might better  
train and learn!

The practice will be held on 1/25/09 from Noon to 5pm in the shire of  
Caer-Adamant, who proudly offered to host the practice at their indoor  
practice site (which just happens to have an adjacent bar).

As per the last practice, the focus and emphasis of the event will be  
on training and practicing individual prowess and single combat  
skills, since there tends to be a significant number of events focused  
on melee training and war practice throughout the year (note that this  
is *not* a war practice, but is instead an Interkingdom Fighter  
Practice where we may all come together to learn from the best and  
test our mettle).

King Darius, Duke Ronald Wilmot, Duke Timothy of Arindale, Sir Tanaka  
Raiko, Sir Albrecht Von Halstern, Sir Gabriel of Maccuswell, and a  
whole bunch of their folks and others are expected to be in attendance  
at the practice from the East; and Sir Guy LeStrange, Sir Thomas of  
Calais, Sir Tascius Fabius, Viscount Sir Eldrid, and perhaps even Sir  
Strykar Geirharldsson are rumored to be in attendance at the practice  
from Atlantia.  We've also heard rumors that mercenary friends from  
Galatia and the Markland Army may very well be in attendance, as may  
(we hear tell, and hope) some travelers from Aethelmearc.  It looks to  
be an outstanding opportunity to gain insight into a wide variety of  
styles, skills, and talents from far and wide just a couple've hours  
North of us.

If there's any chance you can make it, this a fantastic opportunity to  
fight some fantastic folks and learn from some of the best.  If  
there's a chance you can make it to fight, or to come have a great  
time on a fun road trip and help provide some extra passenger seats --  
please think about joining us!  Last time proved to be a fantastic  
opportunity to fight a great group of extremely talented fighters with  
different styles, methods, and skills and to learn and be tutored from  
some of the very best.  And the stories from the dinner afterwards and  
the rides to and from were truly bard-worthy!

Please contact me at warlord at pontealto.org if you have any plans  
whatsoever of attending (no matter how spurious), as the host shire is  
looking to get and maintain a rough head-count.  If you have any  
questions about the site, please contact Alexendre Bautista de la Mar,  
Deputy Knight Marshal for the Shire of Caer-Adamant at shireherald at aol.com

The practice will be held at the Smyrna Ambulance Company/American  
Legion at 107 W. Glenwood Ave in Smyrna, DE.

We look forward to seeing everyone there, and hope everyone will make  
an effort to join us.

In Service,

Baron Maximillian Von Halstern

PLEASE FORWARD AS APPROPRIATE
