June Black Star

Greetings to Ansteorra from Prince Creppin and Princess Toryn!

Crown Tournament was a joyous event! We are excited to be your heirs and look forward to a fun and busy reign. We cannot wait to see your art, your service, and your prowess on the field and range! Being able to see you in person again is wonderful and the energy at in-person events is amazing. If you have not been able to come to an in-person event, please come out - if you feel comfortable doing so, of course.

On that note, here are some events just on the horizon: King’s College, the ultimate in classes of all kinds that will help you up your game, and Vindheim’s Summer Coronet, another historic June event where Vindheim’s heirs will be chosen.

On the subject of in-person events, we want to encourage all event stewards to make accessibility a priority when planning events and selecting sites. Many of our populace experience issues with mobility and we want to make sure that all are welcome, and not just welcome, but active participants.

In closing, if any of you have suggestions, questions, or ideas on how to improve the game for you or your friends, please reach out to us at: coronet@ansteorra.org.

July Black Star

Greetings to Ansteorra from Prince Creppin and Princess Toryn!

Warlord was wonderful! After two years of virtual Warlords, experiencing this historic event in person was a great way to end May. We had so much fun! The vigils, fighting, arts, all the merchants and activities in the hall. In June Vindheim heirs were chosen. Vivat!!! We also want to thank all the teachers that so generously shared their knowledge and skills at King’s College. Thank you for helping us all up our game!

July is an important month for us as we look forward to our Coronation and our Queen’s Tournament. If you would like to compete in Queen’s, please send your letter of intent to queen@crown.ansteorra.org at least one week prior to the event.

We are happy to see event stewards making accessibility a priority when planning events and choosing sites. Creating a team of populace members tasked with assisting older Ansteorrans, folks with mobility issues, and even those with small children, is amazing. We encourage our populace to volunteer for these teams and make use of them if you need help. These efforts are noticed by us and encouraged for all events. Helping those that need help is Chivalry in action and brings the dream alive for all, regardless of age, life situation, and physical ability. Thank you!

In closing, if any of you have suggestions, questions, or ideas on how to improve the game for you or your friends, please reach out to us at: coronet@ansteorra.org.

Queen's Champion

Dear Ansteorra, and The Rapier and C&T communities of Ansteorra,

Thank you for an absolutely spectacular Queens Champion Event! Saturday was filled with laughter, skill, joy, amazement and a few tears. If you were not able to come, you missed a wonderful day – and perhaps the only July Ansteorran Event where my feet got a little chilly.

I have traveled across the known world and met Queens and Roses from every kingdom. They all have great stories to tell from their reign, but each and every one of them is a little bit jealous of the Queens of Ansteorra. Why? Because Queens in Ansteorra have a special place in the hearts of the Rapier and C&T communities of this mighty kingdom. I felt the love of the community every day, but yesterday was extraordinarily special. Thank you all.

Queens Champion is the highlight of my reign and The Barony of Bryn Gwlad and autocrats Mistress Myfawny Ferch Eifion and Fru Uifeior a Prondheimi ran and excellent event! Thank you so much for providing a magnificent site, lovely decorations and organizing a perfect day! Thank you for accommodating all guests and assisting those with need – your efforts bring joy to my heart!
Fun and engaging Children’s Activities were hosted by Lady Gyda and the kids had so much fun with the crafts and games! Thank you, Lady Gyda for providing a fun space for the kids to enjoy themselves!

The Youth Rapier Fighters were well represented and the Queens Hope Tournament was led by Orlando Giovanni. Thank you Don Orlando for your faithful leadership of the youth. Honorable and exciting fighting yielded a new Queens Hope in Maria of the Steppes. Congratulations Maria!

The Queens Champion tournament was expertly list mistress-ed by Mistress Jeanne Marie la Verriere, Mistress Adelaide and Lady Stefania. Many thanks for a smooth and accurate tournament!

Thank you Don Robin of Gilwell for lending not only your expertise in marshalling the tournament but also your voice to the Crown as the Herald of the event. Your panache, flair and style make my Dream come to life. Thank you for your hard work and service, you made my day so much better just knowing I could count on your voice and counsel.

Thank you to the White Scarves and the Moniers Guild for the gift of the resplendent coins! They are so amazing with my hippo on them!!

Special thanks to Lord Alan Lynch and the Legion of Swashbucklers for my memory banner signed by all that fought – I will cherish it always.

Thank you to the TEAM of talented Ansteorrans that worked together to create the Queen’s Champion Look. The incredible custom printed, silk Venetian Dress was Designed, Stamped, Sewn, and Fitted by Mistress Christiana, Mistress [[Sarra, Mistress Brenna MacDonald, Mistress Rhiannon Verch Bryan, Master Don Cael and His Majesty Creppin. This dress was everything - words cannot describe how beautiful it is and pretty I felt in it. The care, detail and love that go into creating a work of art like this puts me forever in your debt. Know that you have my eternal thanks and love.

BUT DID YOU SEE MY HAIR? My cool Venetian Horned Hair Design was the brainchild of Mistress Jean Marie based on period portraits. When you need an expert design – call an expert and she pulled off the hair of the year! Thank you so much for your help in making the vision come to life!!!

Congratulations to Don Orazio d'Assisi, my Queen’s Champion on your victory! I look forward to having you by my side as my Champion for the Reign. Your Champ-Posal was a highlight of my day and made an unforgettable memory. Thank you!

With Love,
Queen Toryn
