Mists Spring Investiture (EVENT CANCELLED)

As of March 16, 2020, all events scheduled in the Northern California and Northern Nevada regions of the West Kingdom are cancelled, per the Crown of the West. This is in compliance with current Federal restrictions applying to the lower-48 states against gatherings of 50 people or more, in order to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The Principality of Oertha (Alaska) and the Barony of the Far West (Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Guam) should follow their local, state, and federal guidelines during this period and act within those rules.

There is no definitive timeline for resuming central Kingdom events yet, but anticipate the ban to last at least through mid-May 2020. More information will be forthcoming about how this will affect Western Crown Tourney and Mists Coronet Tourney in the immediate future, as well as other events in the coming months.

This is a rapidly evolving situation and the Western Crown and Kingdom Seneschal are working closely together and monitoring information released from State and Federal officials. They are acting in the best interests of the West Kingdom, and the health, safety, and well-being of the Populace is foremost in their minds. Please continue to support them as they face these difficult decisions going forward.

Mists Arts & Sciences
Find your inner Muse, Early or Late!  This year’s Mists A&S Silver Muse Competitions are moving through time, and expertise.

Each Mists event will have two competitions: One early period, one later period. This will allow Artisans to grow a body of work that shows progression through both historical time, and their expertise growing over the years.  

All Artists, Bards, Calligraphers, Natural Scientists, Poets, Rubricators, Singers, Troubadors, etc. are invited to pursue the arts by creating displays of their work and teaching and discussing the work, whether it is a material object, an intellectual one, or a story of history.

Spring Investiture:
The Early time will be 9th century. The Later time will be 14th century.
Please teach us to sing a song from the 9th or make a weapon! Perhaps a  simple cote pattern? Or how they made paint from rocks and plants?

We are encouraging our artisans to not only make things but teach how to make them (as well as this is also a part of the competition). Documentation is required but don’t let that scare you away (simple is all we ask  but if you want to do more that’s wonderful)  (Help is available!)

Donations to largess are always appreciated as our gifts are always appreciated so much!
