Description:
Celebrating the 51st Annual Tournament of Ymir and Baronial Birthday for Windmasters' Hill.
In the Old Norse tradition, Tyr is not only a war deity but
also the God of Justice and Law. With his word honored among all the gods with
the sacrifice of his arm in taming the Norse guardian Fenrir, Tyr represents
sacrifice just as much as he does redemption in the eyes of the law. Ymir 51-Tyr’s Redemption allows us to look upon the sacrifices of our many chivalrous
combatants across Atlantia in becoming noble and lawful fighters in the eyes of
the crown.
For our learned and glorious A&S competitors we offer
the chance to show active displays of art and science that envision sacrifice, ensure
justice and honor, and celebrate war as well as show acts of kindness and
mercy. These can come in the form of a scarf used to shelter a young one from
the cold, the creation of food and drink utilized in war celebrations, or even the best
use of “scales of justice” in a period piece of art or craft.
As for our wonderful forms of combat we will showcase fencing
and heavy combat challenges that involve the best use of just one arm instead
of both in achieving goals established by our martials. Tournaments of Chivalry
will be among the most well attended by our combatants in order to prove their
worth. We are also playing host to the Titan Tournament which will also
celebrate Tyr as our patron diety.
With the assistance of Noble Grissel Dhai and their
assembled team of accomplished chefs who will be responsible for different
meals on Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday evening respectively-we
are sure to bring delights to the populace of Windmasters Hill and the rest of
Atlantia!

General Activities
Martial Activities:
As the cold
days of winter near their end, the annual Tournament of Ymir fast approaches.
This year in addition to bringing attention to the frost giant Ymir, we will be
saluting Tyr the One-handed, the Norse god of war. This means of course that
there are many various and sundry martial activities planned in the war god's
honor.
On the armored
combat field Count Rondolfr will be running a grand tourney to start off the
tournament season. Fighters will have ample chance to show off their skills.
This tourney is also part of the Titan Tournament and the victor will receive
entry into the Titan Tournament to be fought at the next War of the Wings. The
first phase of the tournament will be round robin pools. The number of pools
and how many fighters from each pool will advance will be based on the total
number of fighters, but the total will be sixteen fighters who will then
participate in a double elimination tournament. When the round robin rounds
end, a second bear pit tournament will start for those who don't make it into
the double elimination tournament. In honor of the Norse god Tyr, this will be
a single sword tournament.
On rapier field
Master Tassin will be a holding a splendid tournament for fencers to show off
their skill and prowess. This tourney is also part of the Titan Tournament and
the victor will receive entry into the Titan Tournament to be fought at the
next War of the Wings. The first phase of the tournament will be round robin
pools. The number of pools and how many fencers from each pool will advance
will be based on the total number of fencers, but the total will be sixteen
fencers who will then participate in a double elimination tournament. When the
round robin rounds end, a second bear pit tournament will start for those who
don't make it into the double elimination tournament. In honor of the Norse god
Tyr, this will be a single sword tournament. In addition this bear pit
tournament is sponsored by Count Eckehard Thurn, the First Sword of Atlantia.
Archers sharpen
your arrowheads and smooth your fletchings. At the archery range Lady Jenny is
planning both a Novelty Shoot tournament and a Clout shoot. Their will be a
winner for each archery rank.
On the thrown
weapons range Lord Eoghan will have multiple targets set up for any and all to
come test their throwing skills with a number of different weapons.
Lady Thora will
be available to run Youth Combat activities for any youth fighters in
attendance. Whether that is a tournament or a practice will be determined by
how many youth combatants that we have in attendance.
If you have any
questions about any of the martial activities please feel free to contact me

**An artist solar sponsored by Mistress Adair will take place at her tent near the fighting fields.
**Mistress Annora Hall will be sponsoring a special competition in the A&S hall as well:
The cult that once worshipped Tyr is reflected primarily in place names, especially in Denmark. Tislund, Tisso, and Tyrseng are Danish locations that remember Tyr. The waters of Tisso, which means "Tyr’s lake," have yielded up to archaeologists a wealth of Viking weapons—spear tips, axes, and swords—that were thrown into the lake as offerings to Tyr. In the spirit of Lake Tisso, competitors are asked to bring their best Scandinavian inspired stews. Please document time period, ingredients, and how your inspiration is represented in your stew.
Many thanks for providing this opportunity,
Hlaefdige (Mistress) Annora Hall
