Welcome
Welcome to the 50th Annual Tournament of Ymir and the investiture of the 14th Baron and Baroness of Windmasters’ Hill!
A Letter from the Autocrat
My Fellow Atlantians,
The current forecast calls for winter weather mid-week, but it should be clear and cold in Ellerbe NC on Saturday.
Minister of the List
The MoL will have a table on Friday night at Gate, so bring your cards to check into the field. Note: You will still need to check-in to the MoL for the Saturday morning tournament, but it will be much faster if you already checked in Friday Night.
EZ-Gate
On Saturday, we will be trying out EZ-Gate, a drive through gate service. To use this, everyone in the car must be pre-registered and a paid SCA member with proof of membership. All of the children in the car must be paid SCA members and with a parent or guardian. Everyone else will need to go to the traditional Gate.
Parking
There are three main parking areas. If you need closer parking, please use Parking Area 1. If you can park further out, please use Parking Areas 2 and 3. Just past the parking ares, are now the Thrown Weapons and Archery Ranges. I wanted to move those closer to the center of site.
If you are in a cabin, you can park around that cabin, but don’t block anyone in. You will need heed the No Parking signs and red paracord. Do not plan to park in front of those long-term. It is okay to park there temporarily, if you are quickly unloading. Any other circumstances will require your car to be moved.
Activites
The First Armored and Rapier Titan prizes of the year will be awarded this weekend, so come claim some glory! There will be Youth Combat, Archery, Thrown Weapons, Combat Archery rounds. Over 20 merchants plan to attend, so bring your shopping money! We have classes and salons scheduled paired with competitions and an open display in the Arts and Sciences. There will also be bardics and dancing.
Wrapping Up
The Baronial Investiture will be at 10:30 am during Morning Court so don’t be late!
If you have any questions, reach out to me or the other event staff via the information on the website.
Thanks to my awesome staff!
See you all on site!
Baron Girard le Bourguignon
