Tournament Information

Companions of the Shattered Lance Torchlight Tournament Friday at Dusk. Full write up below.

Unbelted Tournament Saturday after War.


The Companions of the Shattered Lance humbly invites you to the Sixteenth Annual Autumn War Torchlight Prize Tournament! A martial tourney to celebrate skill-at-arms, chivalry, pageantry and heart! Bring your weapons and gauntlets and display your chivalric spirit on the Eric Friday night. Armor inspection begins at the first whisper of darkness. This year’s contest will be open to any weapons style but shields will be limited to 16 inches in any dimension. We will end the evening with a two-person single-sword relay at the barrier. So make sure you stick around to the end. Rest assured, there will be plenty of fighting for everyone! The Companions of the Shattered Lance will select The Victor of this tournament whom we believe most fully encompass those virtues of chivalry we aspire to achieve. To enter the lists your armor needs to be of a high standard and clearly represent the period of your persona. To that end, no plastic (basket hilts are fine) or modern materials may be visible. Some other items that are not permitted are, visible tape, stickers on helmets, tennis shoes, and large areas of rust on your armor. This will be strictly enforced this year, if you have any questions about what is acceptable, reach out to Phillip de Mantel (mka JasonPainter).


Dirty Half Dozen competition – Largesse

Please make at least six of the same item (more is always wonderful) and bring them to Autumn War (or arrange pickup beforehand) for the opportunity to assist in refilling the coffers of the Kingdom and Baronies and so that we may spread your wordfame and talent throughout the Kingdom and thank worthy folks! All entries will be divided between the Baronies hosting Autumn War and the Kingdom.

We request that no perishable goods or items with strong scents be entered. Please be sure to add some sort of tag to each item noting your name, what the item is, and where you are from.

The winners will be chosen based on Populace choice and Overall choice. Winners will receive their choice of the largess items from the competition. You are welcome to enter as many entries as you like!

To enter, please contact Andrea Fain via Facebook Messenger, or via email at disa.andrea@gmail.com. The deadline to enter will be September 3rd but you won’t need your entries to be ready until the event. The Largesse will be displayed in the A&S area until just before Saturday afternoon court.


Hati Longtooth Woodworking Competition

In days of old Blatha An Oir honored one of it’s own with the Hati Longtooth Woodworking Competition. A chance for those who craft with wood to showcase their work and share their vision with the public. This year Autumn War will once more see this showcase of grain and form return. Bring your best, your sturdiest, your, favorite, or your most fun woodwork to show it off. Tables for display will be provided and the vote will be by populous choice. Any item consisting of primarily wood is acceptable, new or old, complete or still in the works. We ask that no items that have previously won a competition be entered, and entries should showcase your skills working with wood. Pyrography (wood burning) and Kol rosing (fine carving darked with soot) are examples of working with wood, while rosemaling (painting on wood) would be not as much. Items will be on display in the A&S area starting Friday, with the winner and prize being announced at court Saturday.
