Unto the Kingdom of CAID do Their Excellencies Ida and Jens send the warmest of greetings in this new year.  We are proud to announce it is time once again for the Unbelted Armored Fighters of CAID to come together and participate in this honored traditional tournament.  As like everything from 2020, we will not be able to gather in person for this year’s event, so we will be gathering virtually.  

 

One of the attributes of being a Knight is the ability to teach.  So this year Gyldenholt will be offering a platform to have the Unbelted Armored Fighters teach an online class.  We will also be hosting a People’s Choice Art and Science competition.

 

Their Excellencies Gyldenholt have also decided to name a victor of the day and name them the Unbelted Champion.  They will be selecting the champion from fighters who enter an item into the People’s Choice Art and Science competition AND teach at this virtual event.

 

Class Information:

Each class will be 1 hour in length (actually 55 minutes) and there will be 5 time slots for the day.  The subject of the class is up to the instructor.  All class proposals will be reviewed prior to the class being added to the schedule for the day.  The following are some examples from the event crew’s initial brainstorming exercise on potential themes (not exhaustive):

  • Health and Fitness for Fighters (focus on armored, but likely suitable for all)

  • Art and Sciences for Fighters

  • Telling a great story around the fire

  • Fighter poetry

  • Heraldry and fighting, how to do both

  • Getting started

  • Weapons

  • Period Games

And many, many more. Take one of these or come up with something entirely different. Most importantly, challenge yourself and have fun!
