Good subjects of the realm, lend thy ears to this royal proclamation!
By command of Her Royal Majesty, Queen Kallista Regina, let it be known throughout the land that a grand and glorious Queen’s Rapier Tournament shall be held on the 13th of December, upon the tourney field adjacent to the West Windsor Baptist Church 166 N Rd, Windsor, NY 13865!
Her Majesty, ever delighting in displays of skill and chivalry, doth summon all noble fencers, those whose blades are keen and whose spirits are bold, to vie for honor and the coveted title of Queen’s Rapier Champion. Let none forget the weighty task of winning Her Majesty’s favor and proving oneself worthy of such a high distinction.
Prepare thy finest rapiers, sharpen thy wits, and don thy most honorable attire!
Arrival of Combatants: All valiant fencers intending to partake in this noble endeavor shall present themselves on the tourney grounds by the hour of 11am.
The Lists: The lists shall be opened shortly thereafter, and combat will commence with all due ceremony and pageantry.
By the grace of our most beauteous Queen Kallista, all are bid to gather for a midday repast in her honor. The Honorable Lady Deirdre doth graciously provide a Sideboard, prepared in the hearty and humble fashion of the Kievan Rus of the eleventh century, with much feasting promised.
Prithee join us, and make merry in the presence of our sovereign. The full bill of fare shall be made known in due course. For those who must know of the makings due to bodily need, an accounting of all manner of ingredients may be had upon demand.
