Combat

  • Armored Combat: Earl Dafydd Whitacre: The Prince's Tourney was modeled on Northkeep's Drighton tourney: Two 10 minute rounds of a speed tourney. First round was great weapon and second round was fighter's choice. Earl Daffydd won with the most fights and the most wins, and was also the Prince's Choice for Champion.
  • Rapier Combat: Lord Sævarr Máni won the Vindheim Rapier Tourney held at the first ever Vindheim Missile Academy, held on August 27, 2022. The format was Meatgrinder style: the rounds were 20 minutes single sword, a 20 minute rest/hydration break, and then 20 minutes fought with the fighter's choice of weapons.
  • Princess' Blade: It was Her Highness Gilyan's wish to choose a specific champion to represent her personally, and Áshildr inn Hárfagri received that honor at the Vindheim Missile Academy on August 27, 2022.

The Words of the Coronet


June 23, 2022

HELLO VINDHEIM!!!  :)

Prince Jean Paul and I are very excited to be your new Prince and Princess! Thank you for giving us a couple of days to get re-acclimated to being front and center. It's been a few (cough) years of semi-retirement for us, but it was quite joyous to see all the smiling faces in court rather than the backs of heads! As we were sitting in court Saturday evening, the smiling faces brought back many fond memories. It was good for Our souls.

There have been several communications already about the many Deeds of Service and Outstanding Administration that were seen at the Coronet Tournament this past weekend. We would like to add Our sincere gratitude to the list. From the moment we stepped on site we could tell the event was well organized. The generosity of Namron and Vindheim was evident everywhere. The water stations staged around site, the fans, and the trays of fruit and salty snacks were exactly what a summer event in Vindheim needed. We would like to add Our praise to those gentles who bent their backs and shoveled and raked the field to make it more safe for the tournament. Through your efforts, there were no injuries due to the poor footing. Thank you for your unexpected but appreciated assistance.

We both look forward to meeting and speaking with more of the Vindheim populace and listening to your thoughts, suggestions, and opinions on the future of the Principality. If you would prefer to communicate electronically with Us, please do so through the official Prince and Princess emails. We will not have discussions about Principality business on Our personal Facebook profiles. While Viscount Romanius and Viscountess Deanna have done a gargantuan amount of work during their six months in office, there is still more to do. We are ready to take up this burden with the populace's guidance and assistance.

This weekend, I will be traveling south to the Two Artisans, Two Bards event hosted by the Baronies of Eldern Hills and Bonwicke while Prince Jean Paul will be traveling north to visit Our neighbors in Calontir at Lilies War. If you have never been to a Lilies War we highly recommend it. Lilies is like a fun family reunion full of people you wished you were able to see more often. His Highness has often correlated Lilies to eating pizza. He would really like to eat the whole pizza, but half a pizza or even just one piece of pizza is better than no pizza!  :)

Cool breezes and safe travels to you all,
Princess Gilyan
Prince Jean Paul

At Mooneschadowe Trade Days Saturday we made some updates to two of the principality awards that were created by Romanius and Deanna. Please read on for more details about these changes.

The Order of the Golden Comb. This recognition is for those who are under the age of 18 and participate and serve in the SCA above what is expected of them. To this Order we have given some special responsibilities and the privileges necessary to complete their task. Members of the Order of the Golden Comb shall serve as messengers for the Coronet. As our messengers, the Golden Combs shall have uncommon access to the Coronet. They may enter a court of the Coronet unbidden to respectfully wait to deliver or receive any messages. In order to ease the burden of the Golden Combs with their new responsibilities, we have also proposed insignia for the Order. They may have a messenger style satchel bag in a sanguine color with a golden honeycomb design on the outside flap. Inside this bag should always be a small notepad and writing utensil for messages. Jean Paul also turned his creativity towards writing a scroll text for recipients of this award during our reign.

Upon the great tree Yggdrasil, teeth sharp, wit biting.
From root to crest message carrying.
Bushy tailed Mercury,
Reality renewing balance giver
Rattatoskr’s descendants move amongst Vindheim,
Serving to keep it safe, and carrying the messages that bind it together.
So vital a service is given by these persons, that We, Jean Paul and Gilyan, first of that name, heirs to Romanius and Deanna, the Founders, recognize in <Rose of Marata> the spirit of the messenger, and call them forth to join the Order of the Golden Comb.

The Award of the Thunderbolt. Romanius and Deanna created this award as the Crimson Firebolt and it was to be given to those who distinguished or impressed the Coronet with their martial pursuits. We have changed the name to the Award of the Thunderbolt and expanded the possible recipients to include anyone who has distinguished or impressed the Coronet with an example of phenomenal prowess, extraordinary artistry, or remarkable service. Jean Paul also wrote a scroll text for this award during our reign.

The skalds say when our ancestors came to this land, storms and winds, rain and fire beset them. As they learned to dwell in harmony, the fire and lightning became warmth and delight. The joy in the ferocity, the speed, and the power of Odin’s spear became a symbol of those who excelled in the moment.
One such person is <Lillias MacGuffin>, who’s actions have caused the notice of the rulers, Jean Paul and Gilyan, first of that name, heirs to Romanius and Deanna, the Founders. For <Lillias'> exceptional nature, they are added to the order of the Thunderbolt, Odin’s favorites, and beacons for Vindheims people. Sing their praise, for they are favored on this day.

As always, if you have any recommendations or recipients for these or any other award, please tell us. We are delighted at the opportunity to recognize deserving people. We also continue to welcome your thoughts and opinions on new principality awards or updates to any of the ones that have been announced so far. While we have ideas and plans in motion, it is not too late to change trajectory with logical and researched data.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at Namron Protectorate! Good things will happen there! (hint, hint)  ;)
