On January 24, 2026, Baronessa Violeta and Praetoria Prima, Baronage of the Debatable Lands, chose Their new Arts & Sciences and Bardic champions! We had several exciting entries for A&S and two beautiful performances for Bardic and all deserve to be highlighted and congratulated.
Our new Champions are Lord Ingvar Sviatoslavich, with his A&S project of “An Alanic Caftan and the Simurgh“, and Lord Turlough O’Feolain, with his performance of Pais Dinogad, a 6th century Welsh poem! Lord Ingvar and Lord Turlough will both be representing our barony and competing at Seven Pearls in the fall. Lord Ingvar is seconded by Vaczi Matyas and Lord Turlough is seconded by Lady Tristyn of Griffyn’s Keep, both of whom had impressive entries of their own!
Though I was unable to capture the ethereal nature of the bardic performances, please enjoy a glimpse of the rest of our A&S competition entries. I’m thankful that the baronage alone had to select their champion – I would have struggled to pick one myself! Vivant to all who entered and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future – maybe Iron Comet?
