We made a blitz visit to Peace of Lissberg this weekend, staying at a hotel nearby to avoid the hassle of camping, and going up to the site on Friday night and Saturday. I mostly hung out with the kids and chatted. Lots of old friends were there who we hadn't seen in years, and that alone made the trip (4,5 hours one -way, typically one of those sca undertakings that earn you uncomprehending looks from the people at work when you tell them what you did on the weekend) worth it!
The pictures here are of court, where a Green Knight came and challenged His Majesty. The Green Knight has made appearances in Polderslot in the past, but never before was he so impressive or wellspoken. He complimented Her Majesty as the fairest bloom of summer,and presented her with a flower. He spoke of the might and reputation of the court,and his wish to see it proven on the field. The fall is the season for fighting this man of the woods said, and the place should be neither a land of castles, nor of woods, and thus he named Polderslot as the appropriate place for the challenge fight. We were greatly honored by his choice, and not a little awed, and thus we volunteered immediately to host the fight at our event in november, November Nights. Thus the Green Knight from our past returns on the 20th anniversary of our Shire with his hauberk and spear, and we hope the might and glory of the Kingdom will there be presented to him!
