Mar 20th - Coronation of Stephan and Niobe
Barony of Caer Mear, Bon Air, VA

Their Highnesses, Stephan and Niobe, send warm greetings to the populace of
Atlantia and an invitation to Their Coronation.

Site: The site will be St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Bon Air, VA. Site
will open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 10:00 p.m. Coronation is scheduled to
begin at noon.

The Tournaments: Following the Coronation ceremony the Tourneys will begin.
The Tournaments will include a heavy list with the format to be decided by
His Highness; a rapier tournament to choose the Queen's Champion; and a
75-yard Clout shoot for the archers. Her Highness will attend all three
tourneys.

Arts & Sciences: There will be a scroll competition based on the Kingdom
Award scroll backlog (contact the Kingdom Clerk of the Signet or the Status
Scribe for backlog assignments), and a Bardic competition to create a
rousing new Pennsic war song for Atlantia.

Children's Events: Children's events will be held throughout the day.

Pavilion Entertainment:  Their Highnesses desire to have entertainment for
all gentles in the pavilions around the tourney field.  If you desire to set
up your pavilion "ringside" on the tourney field, you must provide
entertainment for gentles who visit your pavilion.  Examples of this are
period games, riddle toys, puzzles, knowledge quests, etc.  After their
Coronation, Stephan and Niobe will make a progress around the field to enjoy
the entertainment. Questions can be directed to Master Terafan Greydragon,
