Seven Pearls
August 24, 2024
Seven Pearls will be held on August 24th, 2024, hosted by the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands, in the Shire of Steltonwald to celebrate our baronial champions far and wide. It will be a day of pageantry and pride as our champions from across the kingdom compete to see who will come out on top! Site and troll both open at the Beaver Valley Archery Club (277 Rothart Drive, New Brighton, PA 15066) at 9am and site will close at 9pm. The autocrat is Lady Elinor Walden and the Head Cook is Lady Kattera Doplerin.
Event Schedule:
As our champions come from the far reaches of the kingdom and represent the finest of our lands, our feast will be themed on the travels of Marco Polo, who took a similarly arduous journey. While the feast is pre-reservation only, there will be a similarly themed dayboard included with your site fee. There is a pre-registration link for the event with payment due at troll here: https://forms.gle/LVFcd51pUcAN4cVx7. If you intend to stay for feast, please have your pre-registration payment in the mail by Monday, August 19th.
We have a wonderful site with a lot of outdoor space! However, to prevent moving shade and baronages every hour, we will be having all martial tournaments take place in the same field, one after another. The morning will be spent outside, as we watch our champion fighters compete, then inside for sideboard plus bardic and A&S championships, and then back outside for thrown weapons and archery tournaments! The rest of the outdoor space will be available for pick-ups, practice, and period lawn games. For those concerned about accessibility, all martial tournaments are held in a flat, wheelchair-accessible location and are designed to minimize movement between interior and exterior activities. There is a sidewalk and a single small step to enter the building, which is on one level.
