Archers Wanted – Scarlet Guard Challenge at Hornwood
From Takamatsu Gentarou Yoshitaka —
Archers of the BMDL!
We need to select a representative from our fine Barony to compete in the Scarlet Guard challenge at Hornwood! While normally my competitive ego would demand of me that I do this , I’m ineligible this year! So string your mighty longbow, deadly recurve, speedy horsebow or pinpoint crossbow, I fully expect my comrades in arms to bring a second victory to our Debatable Lands , let’s start a dynasty, shall we?
Here is the original challenge from The Order of the Scarlet Guard:
Greetings
Unto all the groups of AEthelmearc does The Order of the Scarlet Guard wish to issue a challenge. This year on Saturday June 11th in the Shire of Hornwood at the Scarlet Guard Inn IV we are inviting every Barony, Shire, Canton, and College to send an individual to compete in an archery competition.
To enter each group can pick one representative, that is a member of that group, and send along a signed letter from the seneschal of the group as proof of entry. Only persons with a signed letter from the group’s seneschal will be allowed to compete. We would also ask that each group send a small item or token from their group that would then be put in the prize basket for the winner. There is also a banner for the winner to keep during the year. It is our plan to have the name of the winner and group he/she is from added to this banner each year.
Members of the Scarlet Guard are not eligible to shoot in this competition. Also the archer who won the previous year is also not eligible, that group may send another archer instead.
The winner of last year was The Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands who sent Takamatsu Gentarou Yoshitaka as their representative.
It is our hope to continue this challenge every year.
The Order of the Scarlet Guard
