Activities
We invite you to the Salty Duck Gaming Hall, Friday evening, September 30, at Protectorate XLVI!
Bring your board games, tabletop RPGs, and card or dice games, and enjoy competitive camaraderie in the Main Hall! We will have a few medieval board games on hand.
The space will be open from sundown until the wee hours of the morning; just clean up and clear out before breakfast. And don’t be late for morning court!
(Teens aged 13-17 are also welcome to coordinate their own game sessions during the evening. Youth under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)
Greetings one and all,
At this year’s Protectorate, a great sacrifice will be made on the part of His soon-to-be Excellency Yancy. Once he lived a life of freedom, roaming the seas, raiding and marauding as he pleased, but alas that time has nearly ended. And so, I offer forward one last celebration of all things piratical with Namron’s Torchlight rapier tournament.
The tourney is due to start at 10pm on Friday night, September 30th. It will consist of a combination of free-for-alls, melee, and individual combat to determine the winner. A choice of prizes will be offered offered the victor, whether they opt to remain a pirate or choose the life of a privateer in Ansteorra’s grand navy.
While I don’t want to give away everything, I’m open to answering questions regarding the format. Hope to see you there!
In Service,
Protectorate will include a largesse derby benefitting their Next-ellencies Yancy and Kolfinna so that they may start their time as Baron and Hersirkona (Baroness) with largesse in their coffers.
To enter, simply bring 6 of like or similar items, labeled with your name, home group, and any allergens. There will be a table to display your entry (location to be determined, but likely near the arts and sciences championship). Their Next-ellencies will select their favorite entry and that individual will receive a prize – a basket of goodies including a small silk banner and other fun largesse. You are welcome to make and donate more than one entry. You are also welcome to send your entry with someone else if you are not able to join us in person at the event.
While Their Next-ellencies are thankful for all contributions and entries, they would love entries of usable items – kits to try a skill, items to hide mundanity, garb accessories, banners, etc. They do request no perishable or fragranced items.
There will be more information regarding drop off time and location available on site. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing your entries at Protectorate!

Protectorate Brewing Competition!
BRING YOUR BEST!
Rules:
- Please label the entry to identify the style and the submitters name.
- Please include a list of ingredients in case of food allergies.
- Please use at least a 12oz bottle.
- Drop off ends at noon in the Main Hall.
Compete to be Namron’s next Champion Brewer!
There will be a preliminary round judged by Namron’s current champion, Aunphelice de Grene, and three other judges. The top 4 will then proceed to the next round where a winner will be selected by Their Excellencies.
My time as the A&S Champion is nearing its end. As well as the time of your esteemed Excellencies Micolay and Uliana. The time of Yancy and Kolfinna to take the reins to steer Namron into the Horizon of the unknown. With that, the idea of the A&S Protectorate championship came to me. Something new, something to learn, something to experience. I would like for the artisans to challenge themselves. Use a new media, learn a new craft, something you are not known for. We all grow as artisans by challenging ourselves and become comfortably uncomfortable.
I do not want the stress of documentation, but I would love to hear your process and what you learned. Failures and success. Without failure or struggle, it is hard to improve. Please tell the story, or if you are not comfortable with that, to write up a summary. I will have a handmade gift for the new champion and for those who participate will be able to pick out something from my craft pile.
To the youth, it is time to become an A&S Protectorate champion. I want you to do the same thing. Make something new that you have not made before. If you ask someone to help teach you something you may have always wanted to learn, please make sure you ask your parents first. Please follow the rules the SCA has in-place when adults are working with youth.
I am excited to see you all. Good luck, and happy crafting.

Beware the Polite Food Fight! at the Protectorate XLVI feast
Like a real food fight the only goal is to have fun! Unlike a real food fight our finest attire doesn’t become a stained mess.
How to start
- Grab a 3×5 card and pencil (provided at feast)
- Write something silly on it like:
“Sir Godwin just hit you in the face with a half eaten bowl of pudding and it is dripping down your chin!” - Hand the card to your server and ask them, politely, to take it to an unsuspecting victim!
When you receive a card
- Using a new card or adding to the same card write a silly response
- Ask your server, politely, to return the card to the offender!
