In addition to numerous tournaments, there will be a series of scenarios under the theme
of the battle for England between the Saxon army, led by Edmund Ironside, and the Viking
army, led by Canute the Great.
As fighters muster on the field for scenarios, you will be divided into a team of Vikings
and a team of Saxons. We will try to accomodate your preferences and if you have a side
you would rather be on, while also trying to keep the sides balanced. Fencers and archers
will be assigned to the sides as well, since they will take part in the conflict.
There will be several battlefields. The goal of the Vikings is to get to London and sack
the city. The goal of the Saxons is to drive the Vikings back into the sea. The battles
will be fought as limited resurrection battles, with each side getting a certain number of
total resurrections.
Combat archers and siege engines
are welcome.
Fencers and target archers will play a role, too. Between melees, or during the action, fencer
and archer duels may affect the number of resurrections a side gets in a battle, or archers
will contest to see which side gets combat archers or siege engines in the upcoming battle.
Don't worry, though! All your favorite Glory traditions will still be here, including Breakfast
of Champions, the Drum Battle, the Carnyx tourney, the Axe tourney, a torchlight tourney, and
introducing a new Hammer tourney!
